First year of metal detecting

Fyrguy86 · Dec 18, 2013

I started metal detecting in September. Started with a fisher F5 for one month, then stepped up to an e-trac. I did have a lot of time to dirt fish. And I was lucky to of found a lot of good places. Finds included Indian heads, shield nickel, v nickels, seated, barber, and rosies. A two cent piece. Silver Ben, a barber and Washington silver quarters. My clad count was $97 and I found 46 wheats. What a fun hobby. I have two buddy's who MD with me. It's a blast when we all get together. Special thanks to Keith, from Fort Bedford Metal Detectors. Not many dealers text to make sure you're doing ok with there items you bought.

Great finds there! I started around the same time and am so happy I found this hobby and this forum. I have found great items and learned a ton about my areas history. Looks like you're a coin killer. Keep up the great work. All the best, Abe

Thanks for the kind words, fyrguy- you sure took to that machine and started nailing finds! That's an awesome coin collection for only 4 months of hunting. :thumbsup:

Glad to be able to get to know you a bit and to see your finds and enthusiasm for detecting. Hopefully it warms up a bit and you'll be back out there soon- and posting more finds. 8-)
