Popular Post Clad Hopper Posted April 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi Guys, Here's a couple of finds from my last outings with my detecting buddies. The Barber half is one of the nicer ones I've found. The Trime ... Not so much. I resisted the urge to do much cleaning so the coins will remain in their natural state. It's encouraging to see that there's still a few goodies out there to find. You just have to work harder to get them. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB_Amateur Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Nice looking Barber Half! And good for you not to be aggressive in cleaning. You can always do that later but you can never undo it. I'd be thrilled with even that well worn silver 3 center. About how deep were these? Could you give us at least an indication of what part of the USA you found these? State name would be plenty but even a broad geographical designation (East Coast, etc.) would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my buddy. We were about a half mile from Lake Ontario on it's south shore.It was a old foundation off a road on a narrow ridge with about a 20 yard by 40 yard area to hunt.They were both over 7''.The other guys found a 1847 Large cent and a 1902 Canadian large cent plus a merc and a heavy sterling pin.I only got a Indian on the day we hunted with the other guys but I got the most wheaties.One buddy calls me MR. wheatie because I find a lot with the Nox.He is the one who found the huge gold ring in the first 15 minutes with the Nox and yesterday in a different spot got his first seated and it was a 1876 cc dime.I have yet to get a older then barber silver with the Nox .Clad hopper has had the Nox for a little over a year and has 2 seated, the trime plus the Barber half. One of the Seated coins was a quarter.The last Barber half I found in the turf was in 2016 with the x-terra 70. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I would have been happy with "somewhere in Upstate New York" but now I'm packing my detectors to drive all night. See you tomorrow along the Lake Ontario shore! I'll bring you guys some (cold meat on Wonder Bread) lunch in appreciation. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dances With Doves Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 On Monday a different member here found a Large cent in a different section of the park.There were scattered dwellings in this place before it became a park.Large cents are very rare in this park and are found once in a blue moon. I have never got one in the turf here but found a 1825 Farthing. The park is huge and very hilly with a few ponds and has a golf course.We don't hunt the golf course but on a different course my buddy has permission. One other guy who has permission at that course cleaned up and I mean cleaned up since it was a fairground before with a horse track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
