Metal Detecting with the Minelab Manticore - Holey Penny!

[@jeffholmes1362]

Hard work, but cool coins, I find lots with holes, I guess the copper made good washers and spacers which were cheap and readily available when required.

Here in America, during early times, folks would drill a hole in a coin and nail it to the front of the house as a celebration of prosperity or as a superstitious act of "protection".

Sometimes early settlers would counter stamp old coins to make them more valuable in a certain areas of the colony. Usually near the centre. They are worth a lot of money if you find one. Also, I go metal detecting near old aboriginal settlements in the desert and nearly every coin I find has been modified in someway . Lastly my great grandfather would hang a penny above the door for good luck.
