First of all, let me thank my husband (seger98) for getting me into this fun hobby! If not for him, I wouldn't have found any of these things. We do research and scouting together and it's a great way to spend time with each other. I don't put in NEAR the amount of time he does so my finds aren't as many........

For the year, I found:

$18.32 in clad
1891 V Nickel
4 silver Roosie's
2 Mercury Dimes
my first piece of Archaic Copper
numerous interesting doo dads

Here's some pics, thanks for looking at my post. Kathy

A great start!
2009 will be even better!
I would definitely get back to where ever you found the harmonica reed and pocketwatch.
 

Thanks for posting Kathy,just showed your finds to my wife to prove to her theres more for her to find out there than nails ;D Do you think the Ace 250 is good for a beginner?

Yeah Jerry, it is a really nice machine for beginners like myself. Very easy to learn what it's telling you. I have learned and also seen from other members who have an Ace250 to keep the sensitivity turned down a few notches. This will keep you from getting false signals especially in trashy areas. It's pretty accurate with the readings and the pinpoint feature comes in handy sometimes too. I would definitely recomend it to anyone starting out. Lightweight too, which is good for longer days...........
 

Congrats on your finds for the first year. That V- Nickel sure is a beaut. I wish you great finds in 2009. :thumbsup:
 

Looks to me like you had a very good year Kathy! I know Brian laughed about how you kicked his butt a time or two with that Ace....sounds like you do really well with it! :thumbsup:
 

Awesome! I'm glad you guys are enjoying your detector. :icon_sunny:

I'll be looking for more posts from you! :thumbsup:
 

Great finds, Kathy :thumbsup: Wishing you and Seger all the best in '09 finds. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!

:wink: RR
 

Great O8 and wishing you a even greater 09. HH
 

LBAL ~ Yea! Another girl in the hobby! Great job this year. I've been hunting for 3 years and have yet to find a V nickel. It is on my to do list though. Happy New Year & Happy Hunting in 09'
