Yesterday I hit a permission with a few friends that has produced a bunch of mostly 1930s-1950s silver with a few Indian Head pennies and the oldest thing being a 1901 Barber Dime.
We have picked it pretty clean and good signals are hard to come by but after about 3 hours I dug a 29' Merc so I wasn't skunked at least.
Then later I got a very clear, repeatable signal that rang up like a dime and sounded silver on my machine. I dug a 5" plug and scanned the plug but it wasn't there. The pinpointer found nothing in the hole so I pulled out another shovel full and when I dumped the dirt on the side of the hole I saw the back of this looking at me.
We've dug nothing pre 1900 so what was this doing there?
Then again, living in a town founded in 1642 helps.
