My oldest coin to date!!

[Jeff in Pa]

Hunted for a 1/2 hour this evening before I had to get home. A local park that's only 60 years old.

Goes to show you ya never know what you will find.

It beats the Rosie's and wheats that have come from there so far!

Thank you,

I can't say enough about the 13" Ultimate coil. I continually find coins in, around or over iron.

I know its not for everyone but I would hate to give it up!

Awesome! Congratulations on your new oldest and thanks for the picture.

Wow! Impressive find. I wonder what was happening at the site when it was lost?.. looks like it had been there awhile. Very nice. Thanks for the photo.
