White's Electronics,

Well after taking the kids back to their moms, I decided to do some Metal Detecting at Birds Eye Hollow State Park. Nothing much came of that and then went to the car where my girlfriend said she had to use the restroom. We drove into Bath, NY to a local gas station for her to use the restroom. After that, we drove down the road and decided to check out his area where a pretty new bus garage is for the local school. There is about 3 or 4 ball fields and a football field there.

After swinging for about 20 minutes I was working my way to the other entrance of the field to where the players enter. I got a penny/dime reading at 2.5 inches. I dug it figuring it would be either a 1 cent penny or a dime. I flipped my cutout and pinpointed, but nothing. I then used my DX1 to pinpoint the hole and it went off on the edge of the hole. I lightly wiped the coin off and it says “2 CENTS”!!!! I was like Awesome! I turned it over and saw an 18 something date and I motioned my girlfriend who was in the car to come over.

My girlfriend gets out of the car and then asks if I want my camera. I say “yes” and as she looks for the camera I used the water hole the coin came out of to clean it off. The coin is in better than XF shape with a date of 1867!! I searched and searched for more, but nothing else like that was found. It started raining again and was getting colder so we decided to call it a day.
