Find from a few weeks ago

[Anonymous]

I haven't posted on this forum for a long time but have been viewing this page since I got my Explorer a few years ago. A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to find my best coin to date. It is a gold 1757 half escudo, found in plowed field where an early cabin site had sat. I had started out the day with my X5 but only got a couple of buttons. Once I switched over to the Explorer it was the second signal I dug. Explorers kick butt in iron infested sites. The half dime is to show how small it is. I never thought I would find a coin this old in KY. Hope this inspires a few of you to get out and find something good this weekend.

Thank Mike,
It was only 2-3 inches down. It rang up near the bottom, middle, right of the screen. I was also using ferros mode.

Awesome finds! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! A GOLD coin is on my want to find list for sure!! Old homesteads are definitely higher odds sites. I haven't seen an escudo come from a land site that I can remember. You have a really nice one for sure! The half dime ain't bad either <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="">
