What is that one find you've made where you just scratch your head exclaiming "Huh?"?
My example would be this...
Here I am, a senior in high school 2 years ago this month, October of 2015. I go to a very close neighboring town at their brand new middle school freshly built. I decide to give it a try to find a bunch of clad and maybe jewelry and in March of 2015 I find my first silver there, an 1897 Barber Dime. That made me think, what is THAT doing HERE? Fast forward to October and Im working right up next to the playground edge and I get a blasting 95 on the surface with the AT Pro and dig down about an inch or two and pop out a large disc that was sitting on a rock for God knows how long preventing it from sinking. I clean it up because its caked and there it is, an 1850 Canadian large cent. My oldest coin. That made me about fall to the ground and the rush of questions slammed into my head. I take it home and show my parents and my dad (who is from the town) told me there used to be an old farm right where the playground is. I look on historic aerials and sure enough there was an old farm there! No wonder I had found what I had found!
Any of you had a "HUH?" moment?
