.925 X 2 And A 35 ID On The Equinox


Recommended Posts

Got out today for about 2 1/2 hours to a local rec. center/pool that has been closed down due to covid-19. I have not detected there before, despite being close to home. At first I hit the side of the gravel parking lot because the gates had all been padlocked to any fields. I found quarters, the large coin/token and the .925 pendant from Thailand. The signal for the coin/token was a STRONG 35.  https://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins.pl?coin=14173 I thought it was another buried can, but the sound went away as I lifted the coil, unlike all the cans I was digging. It was on the edge of the parking lot close to a flower patch of the neighbor next door. I moved to a new spot  and in the front of the building was the .925 ring on the first dig up front. After that I saw that the field was open and went onto the kickball/small baseball field. There were a lot of quarters and dimes. This spot is close to virgin because the quarters would be gone otherwise. There is more jewelry waiting! The 15" coil impressed me again.🙂

That's quite a large token, even larger than our USA large format dollar coin (e.g. silver dollar) which is 38.1 mm diameter.  A bit heavier than the clad Eisenhower dollar and apparently just ligher than 90% silver dollars.  Include with that its presumed high copper content and the TID of 35 on Equinox makes sense.  Nice finds!
