    When i was a kid.. probably 45 years ago, I grew up on a rural mountain where my parents still live. I was waking home from school near the top of the hill just off of the paved road in the dirt and kicked up what I thought was a bottle cap. Turned out to be a walking liberty quarter. I remember exactly where I found it. Worth going back with a metal detector?

      Thanks Richard! Between the lawn full of pennies, and that crazy cow fencer zapping me in the headphones every 1.5 seconds…I needed the change of scenery! Just when I least expect it, another FIRST presents itself! In my experience, the fencers kind of mess with tones…and maybe even makes VDI's appear higher than normal. I was expecting a lot of those pennies to be dimes, but never found one? Good luck out there!

      I couldn’t believe my eyes…TWICE in 24 hours??? I’ve found a couple 2 cent pieces, and I’m still hoping to stumble across a trime that somebody missed…because THAT’S what I think happened for me on vacation. Both of those half dimes sounded like pennies, and they were probably skipped by others. And that’s also probably why I found a good handful of Indian Head pennies, but no silvers larger than a dime. Keep looking…especially near east/west travel routes where people traveled through.
