My first time metal detecting. My first big find.

[Shaun21Napier89]

I was excited after purchasing my first MD from Academy. I don't really know what I'm doing yet. I ran around in my back yard really quick then i took it up to my neighborhood park. After getting a few hits and digging up dumb stuff. I started scanning through the sand on the play ground. I got a few modern day coins. I got to admit i was pretty excited. Then i got a crazy hit. I started digging... you've got to think this is my first time. My hearts racing pretty good. I found a mason jar with gold looking coins. I nervously took the lid off and shook the coins out in to my hand. As i start make out what they say my nervous turn into anger...I found some kids stash of Chuck-E-Cheese coins. Where a kid can be a kid. I put the coins back in the jar with the few coins i found earlier and berried it back in the sand. It's pretty funny now that i think about it. In the moment I was a little upset. Anyone else find something and their nervous go threw the roof. Then find out its fake or not what you thought it was.

Good Story.... Congrats on your new detector

You're not a "real" detectorist until you have found your first Chuck E. Cheese token - Congratulations!!

That's hilarious! Well I'm glad I'm not the only one!!!

I found one at a brass plant, I guess they make or made them there, it was by a scrap bin and beat to heck, was a visual find during work. I wonder where I put it....

The swing of the coil will determine the value of the find. My last mason jar was full of Gold coins. That is because I swing from the left to the right with a little push forward to accentuate the value of the target.
Congrats on your C.C . Tokens
Now where did I put my meds??

Welcome to the addiction! You are ruined forever!
It will NEVER stop now!

You're gonna want to repeat that scenario now....with the real thing! LOL

Welcome to T-net!

Two weeks ago I dug a very deep sword blade that turned into a lawn mower blade

I fondly refer to the C.E.C. tokens as "Rat Regurgitation Palace" tokens. Every school and park has them! Happy Hunting, Sub

I know that gets your pulse up, but I'm always excited with junk jewelry when I first see it and that's better than finding just junk or clad. Good luck & happy hunting.

I love finding those tokens!

 

[devldog]

Best of Luck to you and keep at it. One day you will find a mason jar full of Gold coins. And not Chucky Cheese tokens either. Great story.

 

[Brendan75]

Hi, nice story and hunt, in my book any token is a nice find. In my part of the world i probably will never find one of those tokens

 

[sutphin]

AH THE OLE CHUCKSTER COIN . WELCOME NEW MEMBER.

 

[CoilyGirl]

Welcome to the club! I’d say a Chucky Cheese token is a pretty good start.

 

[Cantstopdigging]

I love those tokens too. If I were you, I would go back and dig them up clean them and save them. You may not know this, but some of those tokens can fetch $1000.00 ea.

Welcome to Tnet & the hobby.

 

[The Aluminum Monster]

I am almost 40 years old and have never actually seen a Chuck E. Cheese in person, either in a mall or just driving by one. Somehow I have a couple dozen of these coins. Keep at it! Your addiction will only get worse!

 

[suntannedgem]

Except for the anger part...pretty much every time my MD goes off makes my nipples hard! Welcome to your new addiction!

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Nice! Congrats! You have found your first cache!
May the next one be the one you seek.

Welcome to the addiction...i mean hobby.

I once found a jar at the beach with a metal lid.....the contense was not as pleasant as yours. I reburied it too....RIP mr. hampster.
