groovybaby711 New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 1:03 pm Nice find. Where do you usually search for coins in your metal detecting journeys. Those coins are super tiny so I would suspect may have gotten lost due to their tiny size waiting to be found again I have a couple but from the early 1900's, but they are same size, but I don't have any like the one you found. Nice job. Report this Post to the Staff
wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 1:50 pm What a fantastic find! Imagine what year it was when it was touched and what the times were like back then. I'm also interested in the sorts of places in general that you choose for searches with a metal detector, not asking you to give away any specific locations. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 1:58 pm Wonderful example. It's great to return those numismatic finds back to the world of the living. Report this Post to the Staff
AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 5:46 pm almost looks like a large 5/5 in your picture. a close up of the date would be a great help in identifying the variety. Nice Find! Report this Post to the Staff

AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 10:08 pm Amazing that after all these years in the ground it's showing no apparent environmental damage and superb luster. Maybe it fell out of a dealer's pocket into a peat bog on their way to coin expo Report this Post to the Staff

wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 11:55 pm Yes, great video. I can imagine the excitement, not knowing what it is that you're about to find. Good luck in your hunting grounds, find one and there might be more. Report this Post to the Staff

Silverinthehole New Member Canada 32 Posts	Posted 11/08/2016 5:57 pm I was able to get back to the same spot on the weekend and found some more old coins. I made another video on my channel ( Silver in da hole ) Check it out...I found my first seated coin...beat up pretty bad but I still love it.
