Oldest Coin For Me

whitewill_1 · Apr 21, 2013

I got a Tesoro Lobo ST yesterday. I took it out in my yard which is super trashy and I have hunted alot. Played with it in disc mode with disc set at 9. Found my oldest coin yet. An 1889 indian head penny.

You know i'd be happy with that , In about 9 years of detecting I've never found one !

Congrats on your oldest coin yet. In your part of the country there are a lot of old coins and relics to be found. Just don't let the discriminate function dictate which signals you dig. Once I started digging the iffy signals, the really cool finds increased in a big way. Keep us posted!

Right in your front yard?

Nice, I'd wouldn't be leaving my house anytime soon after a find like that!

Not my oldest coin anymore. On my last hunt before winter set in way back in November I bested this one by thirty years. I got an 1859 Indian(see avatar) and a 1902 Barber dime that day. My first Barber dime too. These weren't in my yard.

I used to have a Lobo, its pretty good on silver, but I would never run the Disc that high, 3 is the highest I like, & the Ses at 9.

Same here, just a tad under the 3, I'm thinking about getting another Lobo.

I think I need to revise my update a little. I got a good deal on a T2 back in July and the Lobo sadly took a rest in the closet. The Lobo ST is a great detector but for me the T2 is awesome. I actually just took the Lobo out of the closet because I traded it for a Whites M6. I don't know how the M6 will compete with my T2, but we will see come spring. The T2 I have is the green 6.5 model with the 11" and 5" DD coils. The M6 came with the 9.5" and 6×10" DD and I have a 5" excelerator coming. I love the 5" so much on the T2 that I had to get one for the M6 too.
