Default Hey!!! Everyone

I just wanted to update everyone on the last few months!! First off, Iam back in PA. for good (retired from Marine Corps on July 31st) I already have another job, been working now since 4 June at Catapillar. The work is hard, but the money is good. Anyhow, haven't had much time to swing a coil lately. I was out in my own yard last night for about 2 hours, found 23 newer coins, then I got a signal of copper at about 8". I thought to myself just another penny, well I dug it and it was a 1803 half penny. I almost crapped my pants!!!!
I will post a picture as soon as I can get my darn camera to work right.
I also have been digging a PRIVY with a couple of friends this week. Found about 30 or so bottles.... nothing high dollar but they are still pretty cool. Pictures to follow....
Gary

If I found a half penny in my front yard my wife would divorce me for sure. I would have my yard looking like fresh plowed ground. Congrats on the finds.
