My brother and I received permission to hunt a turn of the century house built between 1890-1900. The evening started digging many wheat & memorial cents, then about 2 hours into the hunt things started to get interesting.
The most interesting finds were a 1800 draped bust large cent found by my brother, a beautiful 1821 capped bust Quarter found by me. The other incredible find was my first old pocket spill which consisted of 1 1907 barber Quarter, 11 Indian head cents 1879-1908 and 7 wheat cents 1911-1914. Here is a short video my brother made of some of the finds at the hunt. the pocket spill didn't get caught on video (Battery died) but the barber is shown at the end. The machines used were the M6 Which my brother was using and the V3 I used.
Here's a couple scans of the coin. The coin looks better than the scans. I just couldn't get a good shot with the camera.
Here's the link to the video:
