Oldest coins I've found to date "1807 Half Cent"! plus?

[Tony N (Michigan)]

Went to Ohio over 4th of July weekend.

Asked my sister if there were any places to detect around her in the country. She said I could detect her deceased husband's family homestead farm.

Found the draped bust half cent on the way to the spring house (still running) and the other non-descript large cent which is slightly larger than the 1800's large cents about 10 feet away under a dead large tree.

It was a fun day detecting.

When I got out of the car and turned on the detector I got a hit right under the coil and dug up the wheatie. Thought to myself this is going to be fun. Right near it I found the 1873 injun penny.

I used the Sunray 12.5" coil and the Minelab 8" coil.

Thanks for looking!

Hi Tony,

Congrats with your old finds, Those are very old finds.

I was thinking, It could be that large copper disc may be a Fench coin? Here's one that is the same size and weighs in at under 10 grams.

Who knows? Just may be.

By golly that might be it, Paul.

It looks like there might be a 'V' on my coin at about the 11 O'Clock position if you look at the picture.

Patrick,
Nice to see you post! You will always be the man. Well do I remember you taking me into your coin garden with the ultra deep coins to let me hear what the Explorer sounds like on a deepie.

Now if I ever find a gold coin . . . well I may have to reassess who the man is LOL!

Hopefully we can get together again for a hunt!

Take care friend.

Tony
