westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9794 Posts	Posted 05/21/2013 6:18 pm I think VG details works. Was this a dug up coin from a beach or farther away from salt water?

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9794 Posts	Posted 05/22/2013 02:37 am Quote: Found near Gainesville. I figured it was from inland, the pitting looks too nice to have come from a beach or near salt water, that would have absolutely killed it with corrosion. The pitting isn't too bad for being a dug coin. I really should detect more, my buddy in central Illinois is always finding great coins, last year he dug a nice VF20 1921 Merc out of the ground! He's found a few Seated coins along with a Three Cent Nickel. Not to mention the rings, and die cast toys. Great date to find, the 5th lowest mintage and worth a pretty penny even in this condition vermontensium! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 05/22/2013 03:14 am Thank you westcoin! I detect here in Southern California, my home. I usually detect the beach (all modern coins) with a friend. There is a very old park out here, dating back to mid-1800's, that we have detected. Just a Wheatie so far, old button, and old bullet casing by my friend. Going out again next Tuesday :) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

grancap74 Valued Member United States 289 Posts	Posted 05/22/2013 12:22 pm Vermontensium, Very cool find. You were down in my neck of the woods. Gainesville is around 1 hour south of us. There are MANY people who have found giant fossilized sharks teeth as well as Native American artifacts in that area. One of our trips a few years ago we found a 5 inch (rim to rim) tooth unbroken. It's a great area for searching for those so inclined. If your still down there look around the stream beds west of I75. You've got my "searching bug" itchin' again. Report this Post to the Staff
