I found my first coin today! I'm new to MD, and I wanted to get in some practice time with the Bounty Hunty Lone Star my wife got me for Christmas. I visited a lake that I used to live near & I thought since it was a cold and windy day, nobody would bother to tell me to leave. I had spent the first 45 minutes digging old pull tabs and beer bottle caps. I do have to give the Lone Star credit, it was finding them anywhere from 8 to 10 inches deep.
Like I said, it was cold & windy and after about 45 minutes I was ready to call it a day. I had gotten some experience with the machine, learning the different tones etc. and I was happy with that. But I thought, 5 more minutes...then a got a very nice tone, dug the plug and there among the grass roots was a 1993 quarter. It was black with oxidation and covered with mud...but it was my first coin, and I couldn't be happier!!
