Ahab8 New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 10:54 pm I am a passionate detectoist who is always trying to learn as much as possible about coins. That's why I joined this great forum. I normally just observe and try to absorb as much knowledge as possible. It's hard to find forums where people are kind, honest and respectful. This forum certainly seems to check all of those boxes. Obviously the coins that I pull from the dirt aren't in the same league as most that are discussed here. But once in a blue moon you pull a nice one. Here's a couple that I've found this season. The 1760 I found last year and it's obviously not what you guys are used to seeing but I just love the look of it and being Irish I think it's the coolest old copper. And quite honestly for being in the ground 200+ years the detail is pretty darn nice. I really enjoy seeing all of your coins and reading the opinions. Keep doing what you do guys Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 11:16 pm Nice Hibernia copper! Get some Verdi-Care on it ASAP! VG or so but I am not an expert in these. The '53 Half Dime with arrows is in okay shape, might benefit from acetone. F+. The 1876 Indian Head cent is also in excellent shape for a dug coin and looks to have several obverse die cracks! Looks like a strong VF-XF coin. I am a former detectorist, still have my old DI/Pro Coinmaster out in the garage. Never found anything nearly that nice, though, but then again, 25 years ago, detector technology wasn't quite as good, either. Best I ever found was a 1911-S Wheat penny in terrible shape. I still like to go to TreasureNet and look at the Finds of the Day, though, and dream of finding a silver spill or the next Saddle Ridge. You'll find these forums very helpful, especially for ID'ing finds.
