I FINALLY GOT ONE!!!

[Marty-Graw]

those of you that i have been talking to over the past couple weeks know i have been wanting to get a metal detector..... well i finally got one Thursday night after work.... a Bounty Hunter Pioneer 505.... still learning how to use it properly..... well had to check out an old home site i have permission to hunt with the old porch and rock foundation still standing hunted for about 30 minutes kept getting all kinds of trash so i decided to go to the house i just bought.... best i can find out it was built in the early 1940's ... decided to go down the edge of the sidewalk first.... about a swing and a half later i got a pretty good signal and dug down about 3" and found a 1944 wheat first coin find and it was a WHEAT well of course there is no turning back now, IM HOOKED, well i didnt have a lot of time before work to hunt so i got in about an hour at my new old house and dug 6 holes 3 of them i didnt find anything (must be deeper or bad signals) but in the other 3 holes i found the 44 wheat, a 1952 wheat and what looks to be an old cigarette case that flips open like a compact or something , gonna get it cleaned up and get pics posted. gonna check some more of the sidewalk and yard tomorrow.

Great start!! Housing sites can be a tough place to start. Many times their just bulldozed over and debri like plumbing and such are strewn all over the place. Congrats on your new detector. Enjoy HH
