My Oldest Coin Find So Far

[Goldgrabber]

Here's a video showing a metal detecting trip using my minelab X-Terra 705 on a friends farm permission. The week prior, I found my first silver coin and this time out, I found my oldest coin to date, a George II half penny. The date is too worn but the coins were made betweek 1729-1754 so it's getting close to 300 years old. It was the only coin I found on the hunt but also found lots of things I thought were coins on their way out, until a bit of cleaning revealed most was junk.

Nice find! The east coast has along history with the chance to get some really old goodies.

  That is one great find you made. Now the only trouble you will have is digging everyday coins.

The best of luck you never have to come down.

That is such a cool find! I love my little X-Terra as both circuits (coin with discrimination, and all metal) have found coins and nuggets.

 

Once again, congratulations, and all the best,
