I've been heavily searching my yard for the past 4 years, and it has been getting hard to find more than square nails recently. Well, today I dug some sod out from on top of where my septic tank is, as I am going to have it pumped soon. I was inspired to detect the dirt as the whole time I was digging I was pulling out pieces of really old pottery. So I got out my detector, walked over to the first piece of sod swung my detector once and picked up a nice high 60's tone. I stuck my fingers into the clod of dirt and popped this beauty out!
Here's pictures of where I found it
I haven't searched this part of lawn before because the rebar in the tank nulls out all the signals that are on top of it.
The penny got where it is because a few years ago there was a leach field failure and half of front yard had to be dug up in the process of locating the septic tank.
Here is a picture of the penny after a light toothpicking, I don't think I'm going to do much more to it!!
Thanks for Reading!
