I got my AT pro in march of 2013..being a complete newbie..well I did have detectors years ago but never really got into metal detecting..now I hooked big time.
AT pro with 5x8 my favorite setup so far with it. many of these were found in hunted out places, and even a 1950 school yard. 1864 Indian head and 1853 seated dime to name a few that were found in a school yard. I have other items not coins to post some real cool stuff. anyway this website is the best and I visit it every night. you guys are very inspirational!!

at the bottom there is a king george 2 young head 1730 the latest I believe ( i have better pics of that one ) and a 1790's or about french coin, Some of the coins are water finds ( like the fired 186? Indian head..salt water beach can do a number on copper.

one of my favorite is the 1883 liberty nickle.. found in an old park one inch from the top on a well traveled path, way better then my other liberty nick, so in my first year I am in the 1700's club and 1800's club..but no solid gold rings yet, I found 14 rings and 4 are gold plated and gold filled, I will post more soon as i can..

top coin so far would be the 1853 seated "love token" that was found in 1 foot of muck in a salt water inlet. ( behind an old stage couch/post office) that is now a house

I have some odd ball stuff that need id so I know this is the place to ask..:treasurechest:
I'm only posting silver coins or coins over 100 years old ,relics and other goodies will follow

Congrats on some awesome Finds, Nice job on the Pics... love those seated's
 

That's a great start to your detecting career. Man salt water is hard on coins. Keep up the great work and best of luck in 2014
 

Great coin finds!
 

Congrats on an awesome first year.You got some good sites to hunt.

Congrats on a great year!
 

I still have a Love Token on my "TO FIND" list. That thing is cool !!


VPR
 

I try to detect in areas that most guys would skip by. Im sure the guys posting here do the same because of the find I see posted on this forum are outstanding. Every place I have detected so far has been public owned property. I am just relentless trying to put inatleast 6 hours a week. Many days getting nothing old but you can't find anything if your not swinging. Hell I tried a beach hunt Friday after a snow storm. It was a high of 16 degrees wind chill at 20 below.. I found Nothing but had to try it. I haven't done to much in or near the water.
 

Nice coin finds in 2013! Your gold rings will start turning up !
 

Wow! Some really great coins!!! I awesome love token. I run the same set up with my AT Pro.

Congrats!
 

Nice job on the silver and coppers, i like that seated love token...
 

great finds, nice pics. Love the seated love token
 

Those really old near-surface finds in well-trafficked spaces are great fun. Amazing to think how long they've been walked or driven over.
