Oldest find to date

[oleterryg]

Metal detecting for almost a month now. About an hour ago I found my oldest coin, a 1973 Canadian penny. I know this would not excite most of you, but it did me. Until I cleaned it up, I thought it was an indian head penny. Pretty poor condition, but back side with date is readable.

Garrett Ace 200, around 65, jewelry mode, around 5 to 6 inches deep.

Thanks. I thought it pretty cool.

Congratz, probably wont be long and you'll be in the 1800's club. Just keep on hunting .

Well done.

Some folks live where there are finds in the region of 2000 years old, but the buzz is the same whatever comes to light. Jerry.
