Newbie Finds

[Al Bundy]

So I've been scouting different areas around where I live in order to have a better idea of where to detect when I can afford a more capable machine. Luckily I've found a few promising sites, and managed to walk away with a few goodies in the process (not counting digging my weight in trash). I'll post a few of the finds here. I apologize for being pic heavy, and the low quality lighting in the pics.

Either you detected a pawn shop or you have the best spot known to man. I guess it’s the 2nd of the two. Very hard to believe. [emoji1360]

Great coins! Your Newbie finds are of a Pro level.

Great finds! Are those Spanish silver Real coins? Hard to see in the pic.

Thanks! Yes there are some Spanish coins. Unfortunately all seem to have been damaged in a fire or something. Here's a better photo of one of the half reales.

Nice finds Al! How long did it take you to find this amazing haul? I recommend sticking with your current detector and spending further time at your scouted spots. You are in the pay dirt for sure. Congrats!!

Thanks. I started about a year ago. I've thought about postponing an upgrade and staying with the tracker IV, but I want a machine that's capable of seeing a little deeper into the ground, manual GB, better coil options, etc..

Thanks, and I've disclosed one of those spots in your large cent thread in the LA section.

Thanks. I need to track down the owners of those class rings soon, and hopefully turn them into some permissions.

"Newbie" finds? I only found my first silver from the ground a month ago...but it was an eyeball find, which makes it even better!
