    I metal detected my own property and had a sweet find! A 1987 penny coated with dirt and buildup from being buried underground for years! Buried an inch down. That’s a great find.

      A 1987 penny you think is a great find? Are you sure you meant 1987 not 1887?..A 1987 penny coin wise has no value other then 1 cent in a bubble gum machine. I also detect. I found a 1929 silver dollar 13 inches under ground using a Minelabs Excalibur 11 which is usually used for diving in deep water. I used the detector on an old abandoned hotel property in NewYork. The hotel named Nevele country club was open since 1901.

"What is the matter with you and your thumb in all the hot foods"? "Well.Sir, the Dr. said I have arthritis there, and to keep it warm,at all times",she replied.

    I once had an opportunity to hunt an old zoo in Colorado and missed out on a beautiful Barber quarter. Another hunter went behind me and found it. A week later, Back in Michigan I found that exact same date coin in even better condition down town. Our ground is still frozen solid 5 inches down. Talk about messed up signals in frozen ground! That was amazing! I found 1864 coins in an area that should have never been. The railroad never went through the area till 1890's. Turned out it was a stage coach stop.

    What is really cool is that the dime was found very near the Indian Head cent (probably lost together}. The cent is 1906 and in decent shape, the dime is 1877 and very worn. So, the dime, in only 30-35 years of circulation, got a lot of use. A work horse of monetary transactions when a dime could buy a lot back then.

    • @jonpatterson7211
      @jonpatterson7211 Рік тому +1

      Andy, I don't profess to be an expert, but when they say "minted", they're referring to the mint mark on the coin. There are several places around the nation where coins are struck, or as we say here, minted. Coins will bear a mark from which ever mint they were struck. The most desirable are the "O" (New Orleans) and the "CC" (Carson City, Nevada) because those mints no longer exist. If a coin bears no mint mark, it was struck in Philadelphia. When they refer to a seeded(they're actually saying "seated") coin, they're talking about the dimes and half dimes which were silver coins minted during the 1800's and so called because the figure on the obverse is sitting. Again, I'm no authority on the subject and I'm sure I left out some info but I hope that helps clear a thing or two up. I spent some years in your fair country, and my best find was a copper farthing from the 1600's that I found in the shingle at Dunwich Beach in Suffolk. Happy hunting and all the best.

    I was sitting wondering what a 'Seeded' silver coin Was..!?
