Hey hey collectors! ( and all you faithful diggers)
I usually post these finds over in the detecting forum but I'm branching out and trying new things..so here goes.
Back in the spring I had a great day with me going home with a great key date coin..1875 H 5 cents
http://goccf.com/t/444138So skipping ahead to yesterday..another day out and another field of mysteries..what am going to find?
Well I found a spot in a field where there was money changing hands...not a site of where someone lived but just the edge of a field by the lane in ..a place where folks met before going off to farm etc
A picked up a couple of coins and odds and ends but in the mix was a crusty looking silver 10 cents
Initially I didnt think much of it and waited to get home before seeing what it was. A little rinse of water and could have been knocked over with a feather !
Another big key date coin! 1875H 10 cents this time!
The great thing about detecting is you just never know what you're going home with at the end of the day..theres many things you hope for but wishes rarely come true.
I'll take my winnings and get ready for next time I sense a rumble of thunder and hope that the lightning hits under my coil again !
