Great finds!

Make sure you go back and hunt the same area from a different direction.

My machine skips some goodies depending on direction, or maybe because I am not always as slow as I should be.

Keep up the good work.

Seems you have a little virgin spot there. Good for you. Clean it out and then plant some grass seed.
Always remember to share the cool stuff with us here though!

I've never seen a V Nickel dug up that cleans up to look as good as yours. Both the v nickel and Indian penny looks like they are in non dug condition. What are you using to clean them with?

I just got an ace 250, haven't found anything to good yet. Just some pennies and dimes, and nails and junk. I'm just learning how to use it though.
