Good day of finds, even though detector broke.....

started off real good, dug a few wheats, one was a 1909 my first ever of that year, got a cool "good for 1 cent" token dated 1909............then my minelab x-70 broke! I was pretty upset. I have exactly 2 weeks till school starts and had planned to hunt everyday till then. I contacted minelab and they said send it in and once they get it, it will take 15 days to fix it!!!! That did NOT make my day.

I finished hunting using my backup detector. I should not even have to use one but I used the ace250 for rest of the day. Man it sure makes me appreciate my minelab.

Ended up finding a whole slew of wheats, 3 injuns 1900, 1903, 1905
a cool heart shaped token "good for quart of milk" and the one cent token. Was hunting alongside some new sidewalks that were replaced 2-3 yrs ago, all the finds were only 2-3 inches deep. Good thing since I was using the ace....lol

I've been hunting my ACE 250 since before the first of the month when I sent my Safari in. If you get it back in 15 days I'd celebrate. Monty

well minelab is an exceptional company, they gave me their word and I am sure they will come thru and get it to me ASAP

Sorry for your mishap with the minelab, but the Ace 250 seemed to hold its own too :icon_thumleft:

Nice finds, congrats!! Sorry to hear about your detector. That G. J. Hendricks token is from Celina and is pretty cool. But the heart shaped dairy token is the bomb! Unlisted in Ohio Merchant Tokens 2nd edition. I'm not sure if it's in the dairy token book, I don't have that one, but it may very well be a good one! :icon_thumright:
