My First Love Token Find

[Goldgrabber]

A short video from a metal detecting trip using my Minelab X-Terra 705 metal detector on some local wasteland. My friends have detected this area over the years but I thought I would give it a go myself, I didn't have the best day finds wise but the Minelab X-Terra 705 did manage to find me my first love token made from an old coin. Because I hadn't heard of such a thing before today, I didn't realise what it was and when I dug it, I tried to bend it back in to normal shape, not realising it had been purposely bent to the shape it was, now I know for next time if I dig a bent coin, not to instantly try ans straighten it, live and learn ehh...

neither did I until a mate stopped me from trying to bend it further back into normal shape, now I know not to reshape any coins dug up

Nice find! You keep using your display screen as a work bench, you won't be able to see anything it tells you before long!

it always has a cover on, it still looks like new underneath, a quick wipe over the cover and its ready for the next find
