I've been lurking here since I got my DFX a month ago admiring everyone's finds. Unfortunately the Las Vegas area is only about 100 years old, so there's not a lot of old coinage to be found. Also, the Las Vegas city parks (the older ones in the area) are off limits to metal detecting except for surface finds. Luckily the Clark county and North Las Vegas parks don't have that same restriction.
So, after 20 trips out in 100+ degree afternoons I finally have something worth posting. It may not be much compared to some of the nice stuff I've seen on the board, but for a newbie, I'm pretty happy so far.
Besides the items in the picture I've also dug up plenty of clad (62 quarters, 52 dimes, 19 nickels, and 140 pennies), a fake diamond earring, 6 keys, a pet name tag (luckily the pet wasn't buried there as well), and of course the requisite 3142 bottle caps and pop tops.
Thanks for looking and if you're in the Las Vegas valley and want to hunt, drop me a line.
