1723 hibernia

remmy · Sep 17, 2017

I went out this morning at sunup and trolled the yards of a 1901 house. I found some cool stuff, a few wheats and a 36 Washington. I came home and did my honey do list and as we ate lunch my wife says rain is on the way AND there is a likelihood of rain the next 4 days. Using this to my advantage I told her if this is true I may not get to swing for days so I better get out while I can! She agreed and I was off like the wind to a local hay field. Signals were few and far but I eventually found something good, a copper coin the size of a quarter. When I got home and really started looking at it I realized it was different than anything I had found before. I saw "georgius.dfi" and that confused me. Eventually I made out "Hibernia" and googled it and realized what it is, 1723 Hibernia half penny, way cooler than a 36 Washington (to me). I know it still needs some cleaning. :yes:

Thanks for looking

Thanks Mark!

How about that new Equinox it definitely has my interest piqued. My etrac has really not impressed me as of yet but I don't think it's the machine it's probably me good luck

Awesome find! You've been digging up a lot of excellent stuff lately. I'm clearly living on the wrong side of PA!

Wow, man! I definitely agree better than the Georgie. The really old stuff is hands down the best. Congrats!

I am afraid to look at that new minelab, a new detector is not in the cards right now. If I look too much and like, well.....

Thanks! You have this stuff over there, you just have to pass a coil over it. :lol:

Thanks! Yeah, I like the old stuff! They both have Georges on them though. :lol:
