My first find blew my mind.

This was found in my first hour with the Fisher F44 in my back yard. A coin from a year before I was born ! (I'm still smiling)

If it would have been a dime 5 years older you'd really freak! (45 merc)

Actually, that's a great first find! I hope there's some silver in your yard, too. Heck, maybe even a gold ring, ya never know...

I bought it at seriousdetecting.com. Same price as Amazon but they threw in some extra goodies and the shipping was free.

 

[RustyGold]

I have purchased a few items from them and they've been great.

I've seen a few folks who are like, eh just another wheatie.. maybe one day when I start finding spanish silver on the regular I'll stop loving finding wheaties, but until then every one still makes my day.
