My buddy pinged me and asked if I could go out after work. Since work has been an absolute grind, lately (several 16-hour days each week!), I said I'd meet him after knocking off a little early. I'm worth it! :laughing:

Most of the places in our home town are worked over beyond reason, but we settled on a little trash-filled area with lots of old granite cobble from the quarry days. Surprisingly, not only did we find tons of trash, but I pulled a quarter (got my heart thumping, because it came out of the ground with that grey color that silver gets when it's old, but no luck!), a 1956 D wheat cent, and a 1915 Eastside Beer Gold Medal token! Both the penny and the token were practically on the surface. Go figure!

It seems so random, the depth you'll find coins. My best coin from 1862 was only a few inches down, but I've dug a Lincoln penny at 8 inches?
 
Thanks, all! I'm always happy to find anything, but something unique and interesting is always better!
