Had about 30 minutes to hunt and that was pushing it. Got a 1942 Newfoundland dime. It was about 8 inches deep with a nail in the hole just above it. Well the nail came out first :grin:

Nice way to ring in the new year thumbsup01 I've seen a bunch of Canadian dimes, but never one from Newfoundland. That's a nice one. Found with a nail above it? How did that one read?? I'm still amazed that the E Trac can find so many coins next to or mixed with iron. For a 30 minute hunt, I'd say you did quite well. :yes:

This place has a lot of old nails in the ground. I mean a lot of them. The rust halos are a big challenge. A middle 1800's hospital used to be on the grounds and is gone now but I'm hunting the area around it. I actually don't remember what it ID'ed at, it sounded good and didn't move when I pinpointed it like a rusty nail seems to do on several pinpoints a lot of the time so I dug it. I'm tickled! I also got a very rare elusive Chucky Cheese token at .5 inch during the hunt.........I might stop by and use that one, it's up the street about a mile.

I believe I have one of those from my visits to Newfoundland (in the Navy), but amazing to see one come out of the ground way down south. RickO

Nice dime- I didn't know Newfoundland had their own coinage so recently.
