Couple evenings ago I detected in a Bel Air park and found a silvered flat button. Went back this evening and first target was a '64D memorial, but the next was a flat button. After this I got a solid 81 to 85 VDI, small target and figured it had to be a quarter, so I'm digging the hole expecting to see a flash of silver, but saw a big green coin....a large cent. No date on this one, but very happy to have it instead of a quarter. Next two targets were a modern bullet and the another flat button. Great site; finally found a spot with older targets!

Sweet finds,, they may be a little toasted, but I think they may be a sign of things to come. You found a spot with a lot of promise.
Congratulations
 

Those teasers warrant further investigation of that area..........go get 'em!! :thumbsup:
 

Wow, too bad that poor cent is toasted. At least you can tell it is a cent coin. Hope some old not so toasted silver will be in better shape from there. Congrats on a good hunt.
 

Silver coins await your coil! Congratulations on finding the old spot! :occasion14:
 

I think that's the toastiest identifiable LC I've seen all year! I like it, it has a cool look!
 

I am with Scrappy, that's a the toastiest ID'd LC I've seen in a long time.

Congrats and best of luck to you sir!
 

Funny how the old coppers no matter what shape they're in are always a Great find. Congrats!!

No doubt this thing is a prize winner. Such a nice thick even crust.
