<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chip Kirkpatrick, post: 4797383, member: 101265&quot;]Hey Paddy. I’m still having to dig mine. </p><p>The other day I had permission for a 1940 house. Found my fifth pocket watch, 3 1930s wheat pennies and a ‘59 Washington quarter. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also dug a penny signal that turned out to be an irregular shaped piece of copper. That evening I was tumbling some filthy pennies and on a whim I tossed it in too. </p><p><br /></p><p>Later I was checking out the much cleaner pennies and glanced at the not-a-penny. I stopped and put it under my magnifier and then snapped some pictures and posted here and a couple of other sites. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I saw appeared to be a crown with a Roman numeral III below it. There were other inscriptions on the opposite side. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So far everybody agrees it a Spanish cob. Phillip the third 8 maravedis. Possibly 1618. If so, my oldest found coin was a 1718 1 Reale. I would have jumped a full century. </p><p><br /></p><p>ADMINS! WE NEED A METAL DETECTING FORUM. PLEASE.
