? I got up early with the melting frost this morning for about 3hrs of MD'ing. Learning my new Gerrett GTXa 550 as I go... came up with these finds. I nice condition Enlgish portrait stamped in metal, not sure what is was for or how old it is but it does have that nice green patina color that we all like to see. Any ideas what is was for and how old? She looks like she just walked out of the 1780's or something?
? I got some clad but not much and came up with an 1864 Indain Head Cent, looking past the dirt it's in EF condition, I can even see two complete diamonds on her head dress but no "L" to be seen. This one was about 4 inches deep.
? After awhile the sun was warming nice and went back to the truck to strip down a bit and on the way back up to the house (walking with the detector on of course) I hit a strong quarter signal at 7 inches and came up with what I believe is the English Penny, worn pretty smooth though and I can't make anything on it. I'm posting a pic with it next to the English Penny that I found earlier this year, it's the same size and thickness but worn down and a little bent. That really got me excited when I unearthed this one. I wonder if it is that, how old it is?
? ?Oh, the house is near the center of the village and off a street from the main drag and is on a corner lot adjacent to a larg parking lot near the school and a church. I'm hoping to get a few hours this afternoon and then again Sunday morning.

Bet you thought it was an IH penny at first right?
