Found my first coin!

[alabamadan]

Well, I found my first coin!

I was planning to work a little late before I had to be somewhere at 7:30, but as I read Free2Detect's posts on all his great finds, I thought, "I should go hunting!"

My first stop was a grassy place under a bridge. It's sorta of a little city park and lots of people are there on and off. So, I thought why not. I found these two little rocks that kept registering as metal, but they don't feel or look like metal and their not subject to the magnet, I dunno what they are. I found a couple of pieces of garbage. Finally kids were following me around so I left.

I went to the local school playground, where oddly there were no kids. That's where I found it my first penny! A 1980 no less!

Congrats on the first penny find. Don't let the kids bother you unless it is in a bad area. I find most of the kids are just curious about what your doin and will ask a million questions. Keep up the MDin and if possible lets see some photos of your finds.

I use the same machine as you do...........have had it since the middle of march.
I usually hunt in jewelery mode, and the sensitivity around 4-5 bars, at first dig everything, thats how you learn what your machine is telling you, Hope that helps you out some.Good luck!
This is some of what I found from the middle of March to the end of April

Way to start it!! My first was a 1975 maple leaf penny. 2 minutes later I was digging up another penny and a clad dime. Not too shabby for five minutes of swinging. Now I'm hooked!!

My first coin was a penny in my own front yard. As many times as I have gone over my yard I can still find a penny or two! Keep at it and don't give up. I have a little park down the street from my house and go there often. The kids are use to seeing me and mostly ignore me now. I heard one of them asking Mom if he could have a detector for Christmas. I casually told Mom were to get one for less than a couple hundred bucks and next year me and the kid may be in competition!
