Second 1864 2 center "small motto" in less than a month, LC, IH and first gold...?
Here are some of my recent finds. One from a hunt this past Saturday and a short hunt today that I gained permission to yesterday. Saturday I went detecting with my cousin up at my aunts house near the warrenton/Culpeper area. Everything was going as usual up until 1:00pm when the shaft right below the hand grip on my F75 snapped! After that my hunt was kinda ruined because all I could worry about was that. It was "held" together for the remainder of the hunt with some tape. Before that I found 5 early buttons and a no date matron head large cent. Yesterday I gained permission to a new site. There's a bunch of land, but for now I can only detect around the house as farmers lease the land around it. It appeared as though the house had been detected, cherry picked over if you will. I had extremely high hopes for this place as far as silver coins. I only began to get into something when I detected a strip on the other side of the driveway. The first good find was the 1884 IH. 2 feet away I got a small childs ring. It's old and it came out shining like gold, but no markings are visible. It reads low on the F75 like in the 20's, not of a higher number like brass or silver reads. Only thing I guess I can do now is have it tested. I've never found gold, so I don't know! lol Next great signal in this small strip was an 1864 2 cent piece and the more rare "small motto" variety. It's in excellent shape, due to it being down a good foot. After that I went back in the yard and found a couple wheat pennies('27 and a '47). All in all a good hunt after work. I will probably go back, but my main objective is to obtain permission for the entire property. Thanks for looking guys and HH!
