I'm 15 years old, and starting detecting back in May. I was redetecting my back yard which my house was built in 1945, and I came across my first two finds. these were found last night.

1914 P Wheatie
1940 Nazi Germany 50 Reichspfennig

Today's finds were:

Old Pepsi Bottle Cap
1931 P Wheatie.


So happy. Using a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV. I hope to find something really valuable so I can upgrade to a ACE 250 or something.


PICTURES WILL COME LATER TONIGHT WHEN I GET TIME TO GET THEM TAKEN. THANKS

Thanks everyone. I really did not think I would EVER find a good coin. Or anything. I could care less what its worth, just to say im finding almost 100 and 80 year old coins.

Hey, I'm 28 and I also have a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV. PLMK what sort of signal readings you get for certain metals... I'm doing my best but I'd love to compare notes... I have found that the TONE setting, with sensitivity and disc at half, gives me the best results :)

I also have the bounty hunter and run at those same settings. i like the tone as well. As for the signals that needle barely jumps for anything if it does even a little bit!

I run mine on Tone, with Sensitivity 3/4 and DISC at 1/2. I don't mind digging a few extra pull tabs to get the good stuff

Good finds! And right in your own yard is a bonus!!
I started out with a Pioneer 505. I found tons of change with it & even a gold ring. I upgraded to an AT Pro & couldn't believe the stuff I was missing! I'll bet the Ace 250 will work just fine!
Congrats!

I made a deal with my wife that i wouldn't upgrade until i dug up a ring or proper peice of jewelery for her. I've kinda been kicking my self for it ever since but i think ive found enough change to buy the ace 250 if i wanted!
