1652 oak tree shilling!!!!

Fantasamastic ! ( that mean good ! )

I'd be happy with a pine tree... but the oak is even better !
Wished I lived near a beach !
 
the only problem with this coin is there was no silver happy dance it was more like gab your gear and run for the truck. i wonder how other detectorist reacted when they found thier pine/oak tree coins
 
You found the ultimate find, BC. Might as well sell that machine now. :lol:
Congrats on a job well done! You deserve a trophy for that baby!

Now I know for sure-as if I didn't know already-I have to retire in the Notheast! Awesome find! There was pretty much nothing here in Washington State then but Indians. Congrats~!
 
Great find - I just want to mention that Garrett is soliciting stories of finds in their newsletter. You should write it up and submit it to them. Probably details at their website. I think they give merchandise for good find stories. You should get one of those new pinpointers at least for this one.

Update - website says no remuneration given for stories, but I remember that the last newsletter did offer a gift of merchandise for stories that are printed.
 
That's killer! I haven't ever used my 9X12 coil, maybe I should get it out of the bag (although, not gonna find that one here in El Paso).

How hard is it to pinpoint with the 9X12?
 
Holy #&^*%*&^#%^$!!! Absotively fantastic! Huge kudos on a marvelous coin. Bet you'll be hitting that place another 1000 times.

:wow::wow::wow::wow::wow:
