Back to Swingin after a 30 year break, Cool First Find

[OWK]

Had a White's 5000D back in the day, and never really found much. Decided to give detecting another try, and just bought a used F70. Took it out in the woods where I know there's an 1880s farm house site (and possibly older). The house was bulldozed, so the site is loaded with trash.

Learned two things...

1) I REALLY need a pinpointer.

2) This F70 is able to weed out a lot of trash.

Spent a few hours. No coins yet, but found a really cool brass railroad baggage tag (not sure what its doing in the Maryland woods), a few round balls, and lot of junk. Will hit this site again when I have a pinpointer. Not a bad day for just kicking the tires on this thing.

Welcome to TNet! That must been fun hunting that old site!
Awesome tag find!
A pinpointer sure helps me when I'm detecting!
Best of luck!

Hey, congrats on the find! A lot of times, it's cooler to find something like that instead of a dime or something. BTW, it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who has been in and out of this hobby for thirty years!!

Those b tags are really cool, pinpointer is really a must have,I got two of them. Good work

Welcome back!
That baggage tag must have made quite a ruckus!
Hope you get a pin pointer soon, I find mine very helpful!

Thanks all, for the kind words and encouragement.

Garrett pinpointer ordered. Also a little more sore than I thought I'd be from walking back out of the woods. Long uphill climb, and I'm not in as good a shape as I once was.
