LETSHUNTNOW · Feb 16, 2011

Hello, Drove around all day sunday and then about 4 pm i found an old place that looked promising...I seen a gentleman outside with his dog so i stopped and talked to him.....He said he was 73 and born in the house i wanted to metal detect....He was not sure how old the house place was when his parents moved in....He wanted to see my metal detecter and talked about using one in the army but mine was alot different than the one he used.....I use an mxt and he seemed to really like it.....i only got to hunt for about an hour and a half....I dug my first large cent 1838 and i love it......solid 18 on my mxt from any direction.....I also found a 1905 v nickel and some kind of token.....I offered him any or all my finds but he declined but was glad to see them...This house place is huge and he gave me permission to come back this weekend and i can hardly wait...good luck digging....letshuntnow
