1st Day Detecting

[BADDOG]

Just got my IDX yesterday, I was out of town. At 7:00 this morning I searched our yard, for some practice. Couldn't believe what I found!! Later went to a park and found .84 cents in clad.

Nice!!! I just got my XLT two days ago and have yet to try it out because of the snow storm we had here in Jersey. I hope my luck runs on the same line as yours for my first time with the XLT. HH ....Wolf

I don't think you could have started out any better aas long as you realize your now addicted and ther's no cure

WOW! Baddog1,
What a way to start. Few people ever find a silver dollar. You really started off the right way. Hope things continue to go that well.

Your right Keith, I believe I'm hooked. Whats driving me nuts is the subdivision I live in is only 20 years old. Where'd this thing come from??

That's an awesome first find! I would say if you don't find any more oldies it was lost by a kid not supposed to be having it from dad's collection! Find others and it's for sure there was something there a long time ago. Maybe your housing was built on an old park or fairground. Giterdone

Baddog1 Seems to me someone lost the peace dollar. It looks to be in very good condition. How far was in down did you find it?

Great job, and welcome to the forum.

Alphaquest, it was only about 4" down.

Jeez. Impressive.
I would give my left (non swinging) arm for a find like that. If that find is any indication..you will have the best MDing career in the history of the universe. Few ever find silver dollars, let alone ones in that coindition.

PS The Peace dollar is my favorite coin!

Wow! Amazing. 1st day detecting in a 20 year old neighborhood. It goes to show you, you don't know what's there until you try.

It looks like the eagle has landed, and lady luck is smiling upon you. What a great way to start your first day.

Awesome cartwheel! Did you finish the yard before going to the park? I know that i wouldn't be able to focus the rest of the day.
