    I would but only coins I've found to date are: 3 Lincoln cents, 2 Jeffersons & 1 Clad Washington. One of these days image.

    How did someone get ahold of the coins you lost?
    Its all relative
  • the unknown copper is either a Connecticut copper, or an imitation British copper. Can you read the date on the coin? It would on the bottom of the reverse. That half dime you found is beautiful.

    We were robbed about 15 years ago and just about all of the rings and coins my father and I found were stolen. Never saw any of them again.

    I've dug only 12 of the 23 US coins you show but I can add Ike, SBA, Sackie and President dollar coins to the list.

    Excellent stuff Demo! May I ask where you found the Morgan? I'm always intrigued with those who find silver dollars.
  • that was my second morgan found. it came from a large dump with debris from the 1906 SF earthquake. my first one came from an outhouse that had been dug up and then filled back. that one was only a few inches deep. what a thrill that was. at first i thought it was a mexican peso. then i saw the large head and 1881 at the bottom. my hands were shaking and i had to stop detecting that day. its days like those that keep me going.
