Mike C... :ph34r2: I was using my E-trac. The dime was in the clay like soil at a depth of 4 inches deep . I found the French coin 20 feet away at a depth of 5 inches deep.The 2 Halves were in a different soccer field. One was in a bunch of trash and I was able to hear it.The other Half had a Quarter on top of it and it screamed at me. Both Halves were 3,1/2 inches deep.Its about time you got out and detected !!!!!! And posted too !!!!Nice huntn and good ta see ya post.

Perhaps a former colony of France... :hmmmmm:Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlassJAw667 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Iraqi coins prominently feature palm trees, and I myself have dug up several silver Iraqi coins while building up our former Patrol Base in Baghdad. (I did manage to bring one I dug up home with me.) I am not sure of the date. I will post pictures shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlassJAw667 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 So we are clear though, I am not saying that this is an Iraqi coin, just that most of the Iraqi coins I have seen do have palm trees on them. So Middle Eastern is a good guess on the coin extractor found.EDIT : I have found several Israeli coins online that look similar to your palm tree coin, and I found a website with the coin I found on it as well.http://www.worldcoin...tails.php?id=94.extractor, can you post the backside of the palm tree coin as well? It looks almost Israeli, but I can't find anything really close to it. If you could put the backside up it may help us ID it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
