Here is my find today, an 1898-S Barber Dime. I am so excited!!! Up til now, I have not found much but a pile of pop tabs and bottle caps LOL and some current coins, like nothing older than 1960's or so.
On my way home from work I noticed a couple blocks from home that they were replacing sidewalk. Me & bf headed out. When we got there, we looked in the trunk and saw we'd forgot some tools... then found that our cheapy pin-pointers were both broken also! The walk was already poured, so we were just in the area between walk and road, where they hadn't yet laid sod back. We were adjacent to a little park, but we did find several water shutoff caps so it must have been homes where the park is now. He found a couple dimes & pennies. I wasn't finding anything, digging forever and having to give up, getting kinda cranky. We dug together at a hole for a bit and gave up. Just about to leave and I just looked down and saw a circle... yeah, didn't even use the detector to find this! Picked it up, and joked with my boyfriend that while he'd found about 32 cents, at least I had this cruddy penny. I wiped it off some and where I figured I'd see the Lincoln memorial, I started to see the leaf pattern, and got excited like it was a wheat penny
He cleaned it off more and said what it really was... (here are some pics)
We are itching to upgrade our detector, and the excitement today has not tempered that at all
