Do you remember the first coin you found with a detector?

[thrillathahunt]

Found my first coin 22 years ago........and it was a memorial penny. I don't remember the date.

Tell me about it. Diggergirl's first silver coin was a freaking mint condition silver dollar.

Her second silver was an AU Barber Quarter (I have never found a Barber Quarter for some odd reason, in 17 years diggin'. )


I credit it to the fact that she has a great MDing guide.

Hey Buck,

Sounds to me like you ought to marry that there girl! You know my wife is the same way. It seems like luck follows her around! I am not kidding. On our honeymoon she hit royal flushes TWICE in Lake Tahoe! Now if I could just get her interested in MD'ing

I am thinking very seriously about it.

A 1969 penny I glued it to the end of the shaft on my md.

My first coin, a 1965 dime, was found with an old Bounty Hunter "Red Baron", a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, (1970s)

Fifteen year later, I found my first and only Gold coin. I will never forget the moment that coin cleared the sand and the gold color flashed in the morning sun. My heart almost stopped, .................... and then reality hit home like a hammer blow. A Gold Washington Quarter? What? Yep, ...... not a Gold coin at all, ......... a Washington quarter that someone had Gold plated. Darn!

Oh well, it was an exciting moment while it lasted, and I will never forget it.

Mine wasn't a coin..

I got a Whites TR/Disc from a pawn shop in Jacksonville FL back in 90

Went on a lunch hunt with some guys in my shop to the tot lots on base and at the sand volley ball court I found a mans gold anniversary band with 7 diamonds and the next thing was a whites gold wedding band.

Been hooked ever since.

I barely even remember what year it was ,1962 I think & I was hunting ghost towns in Colo at that time, and detectors dint have disc, so it probably was a piece of iron.

I bought a White's 5ID in 2005. I had had a broken leg, blood clot, broken hand, and then kidney cancer all the same year!
Decided I was going to finally learn to detect while I was healing up from the kidney surgery.

Read the book over and over while I was healing up enough to go out and start swinging.

Finally took the machine out to a park that had been a fairgrounds. Turned it on and started swinging. Got a perfect dime hit within 5 minutes and dug a 1906 O Barber dime at about 4 inches. Thought I was brilliant, and was amazed at how easy this detecting thing was!

Took over a year before I dug my next silver!

Good Luck,
Mark
