Was invited to hit a yard in rural Vermont on Sunday; the house was old but the town clearly older, the majority of houses on the main road were early 1800's, the oldest being 1760.
Spent about 1/2 hour in the front yard and decided to head to a quiet corner that was ratty were the grass was not growing, got a hit that fluttered as a dime (2-10 to 4-29), but could not get a full read on it no matter how many times I swung the coil, but it clearly was a constant number below 12 on the Explorer Pro, so I had to dig it.
The target was only 3 inches down so I didn't expect too much, but out popped a round coin about the size of a copper, but caked in dirt. As I gently cleaned the coin, the 13 rings of a Fugio Cent appeared and I was in disbelief! These coins are rarer than rare, so I was beside myself!
The condition is excellent and I'm in search of who to get it professionally cleaned and then graded by PGC, any suggestions?
