First Three Cent Piece

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

I think that is the nicest trime I have seen posted on this forum! That is an amazing find, Drew! That's another coin that is still on my bucket list. Maybe someday. :crossfingers:

Congrats on the wonderful find! :perfect10:

Very, very nice find. Glad you finally got one. You must have been excited to see that in the hole, I know I would have been. :congrats: on a great find
 
Amazing! That is a beauty of a coin. I got my first trime last season but it was worn and holed and no where near as pretty as yours! Congrats on one heck of a find!
