Badger-NH Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Try shining a flashlight on it from the side. You may be able to see some faint outlines enough to confirm an ID. Coppers are fun to find and are a good indication you are detecting the right area. I've found hundreds over the years. Rarely will you get one in good condition but they look pretty impressive when you have a pile of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a dude I know who just talks to much and didn’t want this guy following me around like a puppy dog. I got in my car unseen to him, and went to another area. Looked like original ground, finding square nails in this area. Using equinox 800 with the 10 by 5 coil using Andy’s coin program but not discriminating anything, iron bias 0, recovery speed was 8. Gain 22. Found this, was about 9-10 inches down. Looks like a large cent? Thanks for any input anyone may give. I dug one similar to yours, hole and all. Mine does have enough detail to assure it’s a large cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
