My first full year of detecting came to a close this afternoon, and I am thrilled with not only the hobby in general, but the things I have found as well.
I got my ATMax in Nov. of 2018 and only went out a few times before it got too cold.
I started up again this spring as soon as the weather allowed, and MAN! what a blast!!!
Within the first six weeks I was definitely spoiled. 1908d dime,1775 copper KGIII penny,1925 Standing Liberty Quarter!!The rest of the year had ups and owns. Mostly clad and odd stuff (fidget spinner, cell phone,iPod, radar detector), some silver coins and rings[but no GOLD! dang-it]. 1944 Walking Liberty half.
Last shot today, temp in low 40's, 40 acres of corn stubble and only about an hour to hunt.
Had not found anything but junk and was working back to my vehicle when I got a decent signal and thought, what the heck, ONE more hole.
My first V nickel, 1892 in very good condition (you can see everything except "liberty" on the front and all but "e pluribus unum" on the reverse)
Sorry, no pic [my phone stinks on close ups], but believe me she's a beauty.
