My brother Coinstriking and I have been hunting the same campground since the snow melted. It has given up tons of silver,indians,nickels,tokens. We went to a section we have not done before because it is up in the front of the campground and way up on a hill in some woods. Pretty much all the old silver has come from the woods, 30+ silver coins for my brother alone this year so far. I did manage a 1909 Barber Quarter for my first silver of the year though! Posted that a week or so ago.
This campground has had people on it since the copper culture days. We have found numerous artifacts and pieces of float copper. The history is rich at this place and the best part is, the guy who runs it likes that we go detecting there. They are planning some renovations and will be removing a lot of topsoil and he told my bro that he will call us and let us know so we can get in there and hit it.
Anyways, the woods at this place are full of old trash. Soda and beer bottles. Old beer cans, old fuel cans etc. You gotta kinda get used to hunting in the amount of trash that is there. I hated it at first. Always digging up beer tops and the remains of old beer cans. I now know what is trash on the AT PRO but I will dig a trash signal out of every 5 trash signals just to see what it is.
I went to the top of this hill we havent hunted yet, saw the usual array of old beer bottles and cans. I got a high silver signal, but it wasnt steady number wise. Was bouncing in the 90's and sounded super clean. I dug down about 2 inches and this popped out.
I at first thought it was a canadian large penny, we have found a few in this area being so close to canada. Then I thought it was a token. When I realized what it was I about crapped. I never thought I would find a large cent. This area old coins are usually late 1800's and up.
This beats my previous oldest coin by 12 years. An 1864 2 center.
Good finds have been scarce for me this year. I went through 2 detectors before settling on the AT PRO. Now that I am starting to get the hang of it I dont mind using it so much.
Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting.
