About 2 months ago, I bumped up from an XLT to a DFX so that I could hit the wet beach in New Jersey. Well, in the past 2 months I have found 3 gold rings, new coins, and lots of cool stuff, and what I thought were old coins ...until last week! I was hunting in a local park, and had a pocket full of clad change, and a fake gold earring in my pouch. Then, I got a solid signal that came up quarter and out popped an 1825 half cent. I was psyched. My oldest coin to date was a 1900 Indian head penny. But the best was yet to come. About 10 feet away I get another solid coin signal and out she came. A 1786 Colonial Jersey cent. WOOHOO!!! When I dug it, I didn't even know what it was. I thought it was some type of foreign coin. I posted it on the internet, and people were going crazy. Apparently it is a very rare find!
