Good day for a beginner family

[naldarn]

Today I walked into a consignment shop, looking to recycle a computer. While I was there, I noticed they sold new fisher detectors. While interested, they were outside our price range. The computer taken care of, I looked around the rest of the shop. Someone was consigning an old fisher 1220-x detector for 35 bucks. The price was well within our budget, and purported to be a good machine.

Picked the daughter up from school, took her and the detector home and put her to work sweeping while I dug out any reports. So far on our 1930s property we have found melted aluminum, an 1800s axe head, nails and some junk.

Then the wife came home, and we went out after dinner and managed to dig up a horseshoe, tractor parts, and many more nails and junk.

Nothing valuable, but the whole family enjoyed the time together and look forward to doing it again.

A 1930's property should hold some old coins. The more junk you clear from the yard, the more the keepers become "unmasked"
Good luck in the search

I have been checking around a large tree out back, and found some wire, piece off some farm equipment, some broken China, and cut stones.

Today I found our first coin, a 1973 penny.

Don't worry naldarn, the silver and older coins will come. I am still working my daughter's elementary school that was once an 1800 farm where I have found a few wheats and a 1940 & 41 nickels but still no silver which is weird considering all the other coins found but eventually one will turn up. Good Hunting
