These are my finds from this weekend. This past Saturday I met up with John (midas) to hit a few sites and Sunday it was a solo hunt.
Saturday
The large cent had me going for a few minutes when I first hit on it and while probing with the X-1. The Fe number was jumpy, but the Co numbers and tone were that of a silver quarter. The target was deep too - 9 to 9 1/2 inches. John had checked the target on his V3i as well and it was hitting high on the numbers too - in the half dollar range. :cheesysmile: Because of the site we were working I was envisioning a seated or bust quarter. :drool: But no. :rolleyes: At the very least the copper could have been in decent shape. :crying02:

For a split second this sterling silver pin had resembled a silver dime while it was in the hole.

Sunday
Though it can't be made out from the photo, the Standing Liberty quarter is dated 1920. :cheesysmile: The Washington quarter and 1961 Roosevelt dime were in the same hole along with a Jefferson nickel.

This is a Irish Half Crown 1933 Leat Coroin. It is about the size of a half dollar.
