Rare Coin Find Sparks Journey for Metal Detecting

It is the oldest coin known to have been found on Martha’s Vineyard — so old that Thomas Mayhew, the proprietor who settled the Island in 1642, might have held it in his hand.

The coin is a 1652 pine tree shilling, among the first to be minted in colonial Massachusetts. Tim Sauer of Edgartown found it on a town beach (he won’t say more than that) while metal detecting in December.
