My first time out

Midnightrider08 · Apr 3, 2008

Today was my first time out. Ground is still way to hard in many places. Detected an old farmstead that is still in use , but much of the land has been turned to houses in past 100 or so yrs.

Found 2 Nails , 1 Piece of steel with hole in it , 1 what I think is an alum. spoon from a childs tea set that beeped as coin , that I broke while trying to extract it. Also found what I guess is called clad . 6 pennies , 1 dime - 1967 , 1 nickel - 1962 , 1 quarter- 1967 , and a tiny silver earring that has .925 and another small marking.

Not what I call spectacular .... but was a good learning experience non the less.

Will be back out at it tomorrow as weather permits.

Snow and Rain today right after getting all out fitted up.

I dug a decent coin target and got another piece of jewelry. Pretty sure it be costume jewelry. Nice jewel shaped heart with heart shaped silver or metal outside with bunch of fake diamonds I suspect. Looks like a charm or something that hung on necklace. I was quite excited at first before cleaning it off that I didn't stay to even dig anymore and by then it was getting wet. I'm so ready for this winter to be over. $:-\$

Can only get pictures online thru getting them on disc first as my Pc is quite outdated so will only be posting pics weekly or bi weekly till my computer capabilities improve.

Best to Everyone

Sounds to me like you had a pretty good first time out! I think the most exciting thing I found my first time out was a penny! lol At least you found some silver and got a chance to learn your machine a bit. I know how the weather is being stubborn....today we were having a garage sale and suddenly had a windstorm going blowing everything everywhere, stuff getting blown off tables and broken THEN HAIL too! lol Spring is refusing to be sprung and I am soooooooo ready for warm weather!! Hope yours clears up soon too and can get out and find some more goodies!
