And I found some sillllvar 
I have to admit I am finding this awesome machine very different from the DFX I have used for so long, but Lets see what I can achieve but the end of the season! I only had a couple of hours this morning to play, so I went to a site 5 Min's from the house. There is a cellar hole there and a large grass area that was once fields. I think that the house that was there dates from the 1700's and was lived in up to the 80's or so. My friend and I have had colonial buttons off there and he scored a George III gaming token. Nothing too old this time, but I did have a first.
I have been here in the USA since may 07 and I tend not to hunt in parks but in the woods and farmland. As a former UK hunter I have found Celtic, Roman, Saxon, Medieval hammered etc and I have to tell you guys that when I saw the date on that quarter this morning and realized it was my first silver Washington quarter I had the biggest smile!! I tell you it means every bit as much to me as any of the other old coins that have fallen to my coil in the UK
Cheers and good luck this weekend to all who are swinging the coil!.
