Hey everyone!
I just got my new Tesoro Silver uMax in today as a birthday present (turned 15 on saturday). I used it out around the house and my first find was a brass horse head shaped cane handle. When my dad got home he took me to a local elementary school for an hour or so and found a button, 2 bottle lids, and 57c in clad. Not much but it gave me practice.

Thanks for reading

Welcome to TN. Looks like you're off to a good start.
I use the same machine you do. It's been working out great. Us Rednecks got to stick together. Don't throw those pull tabs away, I think they use them as engagement rings in WV? ;D Just kidding.
Looking forward to seeing your future posts.
