Detector(s) used
MineLabs (Explorer ) , Tesoro (DeLeon ) ,Garrett (AT Pro Gold)
My dad was at the tail end of a 4 day visit to the island and anyone that been here knows the game you have to play with the ferry !!! While on my phone every ten minutes,,, I figured I would do a little detecting on an old colonial cart path that passes thru a field. I was using my Tesoro and often don't dig targets in the 40-59 range . This was a very clean crisp target only 5 inches down. I really thought it was a shiny Lincoln penny until I picked it up. Hope folks enjoy the pics !!!

I've just added a couple more pics , gently cleaned, also showing the edge.

Hi again,, I just added more pics of gold coin beside two silvers I pulled in Vermont and a dime and quarter for size reference. Also , I pulled this button with in ten feet of the coin. It took a (older ) hit on the front ??? not sure what it is ,, looks like a log cabin. Any help ??, love to hear it , thanks

What kind of MD you were using
 

Hi Walid, I was using a Tesoro ,DeLeon. I've found over 100 pretty 1800 coins with this detector. Only complaint with it is that it's sensitive to hot rocks. I have a Minelabs explorer that has zero issues with hot rocks but is a heavy machine to use on land for long hunts. Lastly I have a Garrett AT pro gold, I've owned it for a year but it has yet to kick up anything other than a 1867 2cent pc.
Bottom line any machine that puts a colonial gold in your pocket is your favorite !!!
 

colonial anything has been on my list
