well so far the only coins for 2018 has been 2 wheat pennies and a 1999 dime. but i did find a few things from the past that made me smile. the best was a total surprise, i was working a old hotel that was tore down in the late 40's but had small women's collage and a home site that was there before the hotel. i hit a penny signal that was over a foot wide i figured it was just another wash pan or something like that. i dug down about 6inches and hit, the soil is so moist i just reached down and hooked it with my fingers and pulled it up. holy crap i dug up a texaco gas pump plate sign from 1939 in near perfect condition, didnt see that coming.

Wow that is amazing. It's just like mine.
I gifted mine to a close friend.
It was part of a free standing sign that once stood outside of many a Texaco station back in the day.
It swung within a green rectangle display. The Round center Texaco part was all that managed to salvage.
I dug mine in an old pre WWII dumpsite.It is a "Rock" when it's on the ground.
It is a "Specimen" when picked up and taken home.
