First Three Cent Piece

[OxShoeDrew]

My wife and I went to one of her friends for a visit today. I put my detector in the trunk as this lady lives in an old area....and I thought, maybe, the conversation would turn to MDing.
Well, not only do we discuss MDing but her husband brings out HIS metal detector and says he's tried it a couple times. Soon we were detecting the few open paths in the woods behind the house. We actually covered all the swingable places in an hour. I dug a wiped copper and my first trime. I tried to give it to them but they wouldn't take it. He dug some bullets :-\ but started learning his machine.
I didn't know trimes were so small!! I guess the smallest coin the US has ever produced. ::huh::
Thanks, Drew

Brian, He didn't go with me...or he most certainly would have nabbed it before me. ;)

Awesome find. My must have coin. I want one badly but all I keep finding are stupid two cent pieces.

Funny how that seems to happen often. You wait and wait to you find one then another one pops up soon after.
Congrats.
