Thanks Jeff. My family is from the Cape located in the Falmouth area. It would be great to detect up in that area.

A big congrats on your first coin - it's an important milestone !
Hold on to your hat - now the fun really begins ... your oldest coin yet - your first 1800's dated coin - your first Silver coin, etc.

Good Hunting !

Those pure coppers always sound so sweet, remember that silvers sound similar... only sweeter! :laughing7:

Best of luck to you,

Welcome aboard, and nicely done!

Put it somewhere that you can easily look at it...THAT will give you a reminder of first joys for years to come.

I have a 191? Mercury Dime that my then 6 year old daughter insisted I dig when we were at an old abandoned church. I can't tell you how much joy that brings me when I see it, and then see my now 14 year old.

You are at a wonderful beginning, and I wish you well.

Congrats! The simplex is a great machine, had a guy swinging behind me at a park pick up a Virginia militia button my ATpro missed. Can't wait to see your future finds!
