So after two days of steady beeping here are my finds and I couldn’t be happier. The first day I headed into the woods and pulled three buttons and on my way out I found an 1819 matron head in a spot I know I’ve been over before. This place just keeps giving up the goods. Today was day two and I hunted all day with a buddy at site I have been pounding. The finds for today are 1 flat button and beautiful dropped musket ball. Also I found a king George hibernia half penny, which I believe is a 1760. This brought to a milestone of copper number 50 in my 2 and a half years of detecting! The find of the day is one that still has me in shock. I have found 1600’s, 1700’s, and 1900’s silver but have never gotten into the 1800’s silver club. I had a 65 signal on the AT max but it would bounce up to an 80. I figured I’d dig my 100th pull tab of the day and out of the hole popped a tiny black silver disc. I thought it was a trime because it was so small. Luckily it was raining so I had water dripping off of the leaves to clean it off. It turned out to be an 1884 Canadian 5 cent coin. I was thrilled and then my buddy looked it up and realized that this is a rare key date coin. There were only 200,000 minted and one in MS 63 condition sells for 9000$. I think I will send it out to get graded and I don’t know much about Canadian coins so if anyone has any info I’d love to hear it. Hopefully the pictures do it justice because it is stunning. Thanks for looking
