My Very First Find

[Gerry M]

It was back in the 80's sometime that I bought my Fisher 1220-X detector.

The first place everone tries is their back yard and I got a strong signal underneath my apple tree.

I didn't have any proper diggers back then so I don't remember what I used, but it was fairly deep.

Out popped this vintage Victorian embossed cuff bracelet marked " STERLING +W+ ".

I can still remember what an exciting find this was and what an exciting way to start out in this hobby...

My first day of metal detecting I went to a site right along a road where an old house had at one time stood. I had never used my metal detector before. But I had researched what to possibly expect with certain VDI numbers. Right away, right along the road I got a STRONG silver dollar VDI and dug up a crushed beer can. I followed that up by digging 12 more cans right in a row thinking/hoping one was a silver dollar. I passed on the next one though assuming it was just another can. But as I kept detecting I couldn't help but think that perhaps that one skipped was a dollar and not a can. So I went back and dug up can #14 for the day. It was January, I was cold, and I wasn't loving the hobby all that much at that moment. But I did find a mercury dime a week later and that made up for it.
