Why do you like to find a coin like this when detecting?

    Where there is one coin there will be two and sometimes more

    Nice find! Are you planning on cleaning them up? If so, do you mind sharing your process?

    They're probably clad, so soapy water and a brush so you can spend them. Good luck. Peace Roy

    Rock Tumbler with sand, water and dish soap for 3-4 hours. Drain in a strainer and dry on a strainer board. Take to the bank and run through their machine. No % like coinstar.

    @Namvet69 thank you for the insight. It’s very helpful.
    @pocketpiececommems thats great! Are you just using beach sand or a finer grit to knock the environmental grime off?
    I just ordered my kids some detectors, and we’re looking forward to treasure hunting.

    @pocketpiececommems... Nice finds... I guess no silver though.... A cartridge cleaning device (for brass cartridges to reload) is a great tool for cleaning them up, and not as messy. Cheers, RickO

    I once found 3 Washies in a single hole while detecting with LordMarcovan. They were 1975's about 6 or 7 inches deep.

    More importantly, you got to remove the items in the top 4" to get to the deeper targets masked by all the common trash. Peace Roy
