Beautiful 70 degree day today, so I decided to metal detect the spot where they had the Scituate Art Festival a couple of weeks ago. Found jack squat on the surface, but pulled out two great coins a few inches down.
First coin was a 1953D Washington quarter about 5 inches down. Very clear signal and rang up as an 87. Looks to be in decent shape as well.
About 50 feet away, I got an 88 signal. Hoping for another silver quarter, but ended up with a big copper instead! It was only around 4 inches down. Looks like it's an 1805 draped bust cent, but it's pretty toasted.
Very good day, but I'm wondering how I missed these two coins all these years. I do this spot every year after they have the art festival, but never found much there. The whole area is full of trash, so maybe that's how they managed to avoid my coil for the last eight years. It can be challenging to detect trashy spots with the AT Pro's larger coil, but I guess I won the battle this day.
