SCDave Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 02/17/2016 6:56 pm Go-Rebels I'm in South Carolina but most of these coins were dug when I lived in central Connecticut. I'm swinging an XP Deus now but almost all these were dug with my trusty old blue Minelab Musketeer. I still say that old machine will hunt with the best of them especially up north where the hot rocks are bad. We get old coins here in SC but it's more silver (Mexican reals & Seated coins) than copper and when you do dig coppers they're usually King George 11 & 111 Irish issues. vermontensium your over there where they dig all the gold coins! A friend of mine hunts old mining areas and has found several gold pieces and some large nuggets too T-BOP you can have all my old digging spots in CT. I went back to some of them last summer with my new super duper Deus and couldn't dig squat. I did find a couple new spots and dug some nice stuff though. Jersey Ben, nice Washington Inaugural avatar, I've got the 15 star WI-18b 2 of the 12-C's and a new variety of the WI-23 Silverstien calls it a 23-b. I still haven't figured which I like digging more, coins or buttons but I know I've dug more valuable buttons than high dollar coins. Report this Post to the Staff
SCDave Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 02/17/2016 7:17 pm moxking Thanks for that comment, I'd really enjoy a job messing with coins all day ! As for gold, a good bit of jewelry but only one gold coin and had to go to England to dig it. It's an 1826 George IV 1/2 sovereign AU wear wise but the plow took it's toll on it. It was a good trip I got the gold, an Augustus Ceaser (27 bc-14ad) silver denarius, Roman bronzes, a dozen medieval hammered silvers, a few early milled silvers, a pile of King Georges and all kinds of cool artifacts.

one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 02/18/2016 3:27 pm Wow, SCDave this is AWESOME! I'm bookmarking this post. I have been wanting to coin shoot for years now, but am so busy with all my other commitments (work and family). Are you retired? One of these days I'll get a machine and give it a whorl. I could look at dug coins like this all day, please post more. And thanks for posting on "US Classic Coins" and not the metal detecting page (which I look at less and would have likely missed this).
