My first time in my yard

[JTJones]

A vintage Browning King & Co. button with "K", a Winchester Remington & Peters 30-30 casing or shell, an intact metal lipstick case and another empty tube with Distr. Pitkin Inc. Newark NY on bottom, 2 dog licenses (1951 and 1962), a small padlock, a 1920 Modern Health Crusader pin, 2 quarters, 5 pennies (wheats), a possible watch fob with "G", and an old rusty what looks like would go on a barn or shed, along with a few older pull tabs, some nuts, bolts, nails.

i started detecting in 1975 at age 12 - almost gave it up - i got to hunt with older guys and they were finding goodies every where we went - but no one
would take the time to help me out ...so had to learn for myself - in Spring of 76 - i decided to hunt my yard - it went back to the late 30s
I started finding coins as soon as the ground thawed and even in areas that were shaded and still frozen i was getting reading so knew
there was more to come. I started getting silver coins and buffalo nickles and lots of wheats - every day after school i would hit it for a little while
and i was slowing down and going for fainter targets and got deeper coins - I was learning my machine little by little - i then applied what i learned to parks
and schools etc. ..and eventually 1976 ended up being a very good year and kept me in the hobby
so hope it does the same for you

Great story CASPER.

Keep it up wish I could just walk outside and find that. I’ll drive a hour or 2 to find one silver or one CW relic, but I’m a degenerate detectorist. I admit I’m sick.

 

[Hughett]

Great story CASPER.

I agree. Guys like Casper is the reason we have to work four times as hard to find the good stuff.
And I still hunt my yard just in case I missed something.

I’m still new and still learning. I’ve yet to hunt with someone else to teach me the ropes. I would suggest finding a md’ing vet to hunt with.

 

[wmgeorge]

With all the online forums like this one and You Tube, plus the books being written and sold a person can learn MD pretty easy without having someone by your side teaching you the ropes.

Nice finds, congrats!

I hunted by myself my first 2 years. I still hunt by myself 90% of the time. Most of my friends fish and they think I’ve literally lost my mine with this detecting. All my poles have dust on them lol

Welcome from Northern Virginia Looks like you have a very productive site just outside your front door! You are off to a great start, keep swinging and I am betting you find silver soon

 

[tomhighland]

Great start. Welcome to the site and the hobby. We never stop learning.

 

[EccentricInTexas]

Neat finds!!! I bet theres some silver there somewhere!!!

 

[triples]

Seriously? Amazing!!

 

[Steve in PA]

Nice masonic watch fob. I found one similar about two years ago.

 

[parsonwalker]

What an unusually good first experience. Your old hinge is called a "spoon" hinge, and is most certainly blacksmith forged and very old. You're on a good site!

 

[BenFrankOG]

Wow! Awesome!
