1834 Capped Bust Half Dime.........In my first two months of detecting!

This thing was at least 7 inches down and I questioned if I was really digging a good signal as the top of the handle on my shovel was even with the top of the hole and I still hadn't found the target. Got a few scratches on her but it's still my oldest find to date.

Were you using th 705 at the time?

 

[mapper65]

Yes, I was using the 705. I can't remember if I was using the 9" concentric or 10.5" HF DD. Those were the only two coils that I had at the time. I don't know why I think it was the 9" concentric even though I've done much better with the HF DD.

1807 Large cent, unfortunately very poor condition, the date is only visible under high magnification.... using a 705 with the gold pack coil.

1838 Seated dime, 6 years ago, with the X-TERRA 70. I know it isn't as old as some. But considering this part of the Country wasn't settled until the mid 1850's, I feel fortunate to have found it. HH Randy

I found my oldest dug coin 33yrs ago using a C & G Wildcat.
It's been one of the favorites in my collection for a long time, and part of the alure that hooked me.

My oldest so far with the 705 is the 1863 CW storecard token in my "Digger" review.

I found a 1832 large cent last year! It looks better than the pic shows. It's kinda blurry.
