Well, I got my first old coin: 1849 Braided Hair Large 1 Cent Piece.
It rang out like a penny with higher VDI number. It was 3" down, next to an old piece of farm implement in a new park field. They torn down the old house. Don't know why. The grass surrounding the coin is 6 inches tall already.
I was just testing my machine on the old implement to see if my machine was working as the field was very quiet--bing.
I dug down and thought it was a quarter--wow a 1849 coin. I also found a brass door knob, but not old and a metal ring from a horse ...thingy.
Can't believe this old field gave up a coin. I may have found half a musket ball too. Will post pictures tomorrow.
It says this coin is worth at least $10 on Ebay --maybe more. WoooHooo--the dance of joy. Jeff's comment is unprintable. Haha
The light brown stick in the ground to the right center of the farm implement is where I found it.
The entrance to the park/old house area
The friendly path past the house "Hi"
The way to the field
The implement in the field and find area!
This is half of the rest of the field
More is waiting
And the Coin please!
