I took a few days off from work to relax and enjoy myself. I tried to hit the area where I found the bell last week but no luck. I left and decided to try the spot where I found the 1802+1803 cents. I guess rain does help! Within 5 minutes I had a mid range tone mixed with some high tones. It said 10 inches. It was deeper than that.I would say around 12.As I got closer the tone turned solid along with the VDI. I picked it up and saw rings( almost had a heart attack.) After that , tried for another 15 minutes but couldn't concentrate at all. Just kept stopping and pulling it out of my pouch. When I got home , I cleaned off some dirt and saw "we are one" in the middle. Almost, but I'll take it! Its not everyday you find the prequel to the chain cent

No battle cry but there was a loud yes , followed by a fist pump. Of course when I did that I dropped it in a pile of leaves and had to detect it all over again:laughing7:
 

That is my all time favorite US coper coin, very cool, it's design seems to be way ahead of its time
 

Incredible,, just goes to show you, , there's lots of stuff still out there.
Congrats

That's the motto I try to follow. My buddy thinks I'm crazy to keep going back to the same place. Now,not so much

Yeah but look who designed it. There's defiantly a lot of character on that coin

I found this place in October and over the winter, I discovered that it was a relative that moved here from England in 1753 that lived there. I think he's helping me out some:icon_thumleft:
