great news I found my first coin yesterday after 1 hr of being eaten by bugs and looking around i kept getting a signal from a spot i dug last week and sitting right in front of my eyes (my husband picked it up) a 1995 quarter woo hooo at least i found something!!! LOL
it really is exciting when you pull something from the ground no matter what it is.
