I got this coinmaster for my son for his birthday and he finally got his first coin in the back yard. Its a 2000 Washington quarter.

Congrats! Cheers to many years of detecting for him. My first detector was a whites coin master 1 in 1993 or so. Pretty good machine

6/17 Crap... Maybe it was a Classic 1? That was a long time ago. Will check this weekend

ya he was out that night past dark swinging. Semper Fi! No east coast for this Jarhead. 1994-2000. He found a couple lincolns after the quarter.

Great picture!

I didn't realize they were still making the Coinmaster. (I've been mostly a Garrett man for the past 20 years.) Obviously your son has a 21st century version. Cool. I had buddies who used the old Whites models very successfully.

Matter o' fact, my very first "real" detector (which I bought in December 1981) was a White's TR Discriminator. Got it at Sears, so it had the Sears nameplate on it, but it was a White's. And not a bad detector for the time.
