my first hunting experience...

aballein

Well i borrowed my bosses metal detector for the weekend, this evening was my first time ever using one so i was super excited. I didnt have a chance to get out anywhere significant so i just hunted my front yard. I didnt find anything to write home about, i found 7 memorial cents, a roosevelt dime, and a 1942 canadian penny so i consider today a success. I think i can safely say that there are no more pennys in my driveway!!

Wheaties and George VI Canadian coins are a good first step. Where those are hiding, silver is not far off.

Edit: oh, you didn't say anything about Wheaties. Well, a 1942 Canadian cent is just as good. In terms of a detecting find, it is a modest score, but I would call it better than a 1942 Wheatie, anyway.

MY first detector coin find in my front yard, back in '92, was also a foreign coin from the 1940s: a 1944 Mexican 5-centavo piece. I dug that even before I got my first Memorial cent. I also found a couple of wheats. That house we lived in at the time (in NC) was built in 1930 and Mexican laborers had lived there during the war, I later found out.

Heh. I've said the same thing probably four times. But, everytime I hunt my front yard, I pull a coin or two out.

So, will you be buying a machine to call your own?
