Oldest coin find for me so far

[COIL2SOIL]

Took advantage of the beautiful day yesterday with stratos and decided to go dirt fishing. Found three wheaties, 1918, 1919 and 1951. My oldest finds since I started doing this earlier this year. Silver still eludes me but oh so close. I thought the dime was the way it shined. My greatest find though was the 5 cent trade goods token. It was about 8 inches deep and had a little choppy sound to it. Almost didn't dig it up. After more research, I was able to get a little more info on it. It comes from a men's only saloon from around the 1912 time frame. Still am very excited to have found this.

Looks like you in a good spot. Don't always go by the VDI. If it sounds good dig it. Sometimes iron will mask your reading.

Just a matter of time. Good luck!

Don't over-think it, just swing the coil & silver will come. Congrats on getting out with a friend and enjoying the hobby. I maintain low expectations. I consider it a skunk if I don't at least dig a wheat. No skunk for you, and the token is neat.

I have 8 lbs of clad coins too. I started this January and found everything from the gold ring in my pic, necklace as well as silver rings. No silver coins. A large selection of 1965 dimes, qurters, halves... I too am waiting.

It will come to ya. Almost like a second language once your "tuned" in! Then later on down the road you'll punish yourself more cause you will have your machine figured out; buy a new one and start all over! But, its worth it!

I love those tokens, super find! You're getting close to the 1800's. My first 1800 coin was found in North Hollywood park, Ca. Was trying out a New CZ 3-D in enhanced mode. Got a solid hit which read zinc penny at about 2 inches but in enhanced mode it was a high tone and I made up my mind I was digging any high tone hits. Back then I passed up all shallow zinc penny hits. Was shocked when I pulled out an 1899 one cent Canadian coin and it was shallow. Guess others were passing up shallow zinc penny hits too I hope you break the 1800's soon! Nice digs
