My III cent worth

We had an hour and a half today, so I went back out to the old tavern site today with my son...  started out by getting 30 seconds away from the car with a Wheatie ....   It was literally along the edge of the sidewalk and on top of a copper wire - but still sounded good!  

Headed out to the field, continued to scan the area near where the half dime was found on Tuesday.  Was about 20 feet from that spot and had a good sounding signal, but the ID numbers were jumping on the Etrac... From a 10 - 19 on the Ferrous side but somewhat steadier on the conductive at a 30-31.    I had my son hit it with the Ace 250 and on that machine it bounced consistently between steel and a nickle.  He said it was junk.  

Well I liked the sound   ... dug down to about 6 inches and found a jaw harp.   It then broke in my hands.     So, I thought, my son was right.  

Wrong!  I rescanned the hole and plug, now the signal screamed at me - a 12-27.    Barely in the bottom of the uprooted plug I found it... this little thin silver disc.  

First thought was... NO... can't be another half dime!   Alas it wasn't.  My first III center... a nice 1852.      

4" deep, mixed with Iron.  I love this Etrac!!!    

     

Nice!!! I found my first 3 cent today! But not silver.  Oh well. Nice find! HH
