Hello treasure hunters! I recently dug my best coin ever. My question for you is, what would you do with it?
Would you send it for grading? What would you expect back?
What would you be happy getting if you sold it?
Ive read a lot of post on here about sending in dug coins, not to do it...
After work I decided to go detecting before sunset, and after seeing my first location was "occupied" I stopped at a church on the way home. I dug a ton of nails, then I got a beautiful signal...strong and consistent. Thinking it was likely a modern coin, I popped a two inch plug and there she...
Detecting in Utah, you don't expect to find many older coins. The pioneers who founded the state only came in around 1847, so settlements are typically much newer than that. That is why this find was so exciting!
I wasn't really feeling like knocking on doors today, so I decided to try to find...
I think I posted the original in the wrong category, so I re-posted it in a new category.
I have only opened about a box and a half total (returning all the junk everyday pennys) and found lots of great finds including two IH cents A 1891 in VG condition and A 1859 in VF condition.
I already...
Excluding the last trip, these are my finds over the last three months.
A few of the coins were repeats.
I am home for Thanksgiving and had time to post coin pictures.
Not pictured are a 1870 indian and a 1912 D wheat, which were cased and put away.
Also not pictured are ~300 common date wheats...
Here are coins from the last metal detecting trip.
Looking forward to posting again.
Dates and pictures of coins are posted.
I'll clean them up this weekend.
G.I.
I finally have had time to post coins from the past month.
Cleaning took forever...
Dates of the coins are in the pictures.
Four of the seated dimes were found in one park.
Enjoy
Found several coins, tokens, tags, and rings.
Have a look.
No rare date wheats. 2x1909 (no s or vdb)
1890 seated dime.
1886, 1897, and 1899 Indians.
1922 weak D!
First of all, how would you react when you see something like this?:
I went to one of the many banks in my home area the other day requesting a box of dimes. This was the first time I had requested so much coin from them, and they told me they would call me the following week to let me know...
I spent a little time detecting with a buddy and family last weekend. We hit a yard we'd been to before. The last time there I found a 1934 World's Fair ring and he found a 1911 wheat. Since then I purchased and practiced with a new detector. When we showed up I had to spend some time...
