Hi folks, first time posting here, just had to share my finds from yesterday. Headed out to an old cellar hole ( far and few behind up here in Canada) and started to swing away.
Nothing inside so i moved to the side, about 3 feet from the path i registered a nice repeatable copper signal. Carefully dug down about 6 inches , and out came a small piece of leather with a small "O" ring on it.
Hmm, went to stand up and thought, ahhhh, better sweep again, and "bang" huge silver sound came through the head phones. Starting to shake i carfully removed a bit more dirt from the hole, and there standing on edge, a 1838 US half.
These are very, very rare to find up here so needless to say i was pumped. I stood up and started to move away , when a little voice says " hey fool , scan the area around the hole",, no way,, but i did ( yep twice i almost didnt re-scan) and the machine started going nuts. In an area roughly 16 inches wide i pulled out 6 halves dating from 1822 to 1844 and 1 province of canada half penny token.
Needless to say, my best find ever, i think i sat in the bush shaking for about half an hour before i could trust my legs to get me back to othe car
Enjoy the pics, first few are uncleaned, next few are after a light soaking in warm water.

I don't think they will put your find on the banner due to the fact that this is your first post here but they are definately banner worthy. In case you didn't know, the banner is the row of pictures at the top of the page. Whenever someone makes a really great or unique find like yours they put it up there. They have certain rules and criteria that they go by and unfortunately there is a minimum number of posts before your finds can be eligble. 
. Great find I would love to find one of them. Cant wait to see what comes from there next. HH!!
