Detector(s) used
1. Harbor Freight 9 function. 2. Garrett AT Pro.
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
I purchased a Harbor Freight 9 function detector about a week ago. It's just an intro until I decided what kind of detector I wanted to invest in. I thought I'd get rid of some nails that are always around houses and driveways, just to get the hazards out of the way. I dug up a 1929 wheat penny at the end of my driveway. The house was built in 2006 and prior to that it was virgin land. Amazing hobby and I have decided on what detector I'm buying. Monday I pick up my Garrett AT Pro. Very psyched about the penny. Take care, Mark.

excellent choice welcome to the hobby.
 
Another one is hooked!! Great choice I have the At Pro also. Make sure you read the manual and watch the instruction video this will save you a lot of time learning your at pro.This is a simple machine once you get started finding your treasure a little bit at a time. Nice start with the wheat!!!
 
You're right, pictures are best. I took a picture through my magnifying glass. Turned out better than I thought. I'm not usually good at the techie stuff. Cheers.
 
Nice find looking forward to your future post as it seems your a natural photographer
 
Welcome aboard and good luck with your new adventure.
 
Welcome to the best addiction you ever had, and take note of that penny! There's a special lesson in finding it there.

Most people get in their cars and drive many miles to find "something good". When, all the while, right at the end of your
own driveway, you found treasure! :)

WTG!
 
That's a really old wheat penny and it looks to be in good shape. Big Congrats!
