Here is some more of my Best Finds from the past!
I found this 1564 Queen Elizabeth the 1st coin back in 1993.
I was hunting in a wooded area with the winds blowing hard.
There was branches falling all around me & a friend.
We were just about to leave when I found it.
I also found this Arabian gold coin at the same spot in 1992!
It was bent in half and I thought it was a miller beer bottle cap when I first dug it.
I started to put it with my trash before I took a closer look at it.
Boy am I glad I did take that second look!
I will post more of my past finds soon so check back.

Your finds sure run the gambit! How come I never got to see these when I was at your place.
Are these kept in the vault???
 

Geez Floyd, all this time I thought you were a newbie. :tongue3: :laughing9: You were detecting since I was in diapers. :binkybaby:
Amazing finds. Were those found in MD?
Nice job on the new profile too.

Yep - they were locked up. Actually I did't have time to pull out everything...the next time you come, I'll pull some of that stuff out to have a show and tell. :icon_thumleft:
