Popular Post relicmeister Posted February 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2019 Was nice enough in the high 30s to look for a spot to dig that wasn’t snow covered, and I wound up at a creek side cellar hole that was pretty clear of snow. I decided to work the side wall to a bridge that used to cross the creek years ago. Not long into it I got a choppy high signal reached into the high 20s. As it was the same from every direction I New I had a high conductor mixed with iron. I had been over this ground many times with several detectors but until I used the equinox with the 6” coil I never hit on this. The pictures reveal a really fine condition 1817 large cent with a nice green patina on it and lots of fine details. One of the nicest large cents I’ve ever found for sure. Went home with a smile on my face 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundscanner Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Super fine find!! I have only found two. One was badly corroded and the other had apparently been in a fire. I am glad you were able to get out!! Warm in my area but it is raining nearly every day.I I have been holding off on getting the 6" coil in hope that they will come out with a 9" coil.

relicmeister Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Thanks. The 6” may be worth getting even if they introduce a 9” coil ( and I hope they do but I’m not holding my breath) I’m doubting that i would have made this fond with a 9” coil only cause I went over this ground with my xterra with 9” coil and Safari with 6”x8” coil.

groundscanner Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I am sure that I will eventually get the 6". I wishing for a small elliptical coil for the nox at some point. Doesn't hurt to wish! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relicmeister Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 If enough ask minelab maybe they’ll do it. I’d Love a 10” x6” elliptical myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundscanner Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I would like an 8 x 5. Hasn't minelab licenced aftermarket coils for some of their other machines? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gillespie Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Awesome find. You must have very mild dirt, where I live that penny would have been badly corroded. That coin didn't see much circulation, look at the Liberty, very plain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fskafish Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Excellent find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relicmeister Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 The dirt in my area varies a lot and I’ve dug toasted large cents near this one. My finest was dug a few miles away but in a field. It’s an 1802 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
