I've found a new personal HATE

[The Aluminum Monster]

Afternoon all!

I don't get to post much because I don't get to get out much lately. We had a fairly nice day today. The sun was shining and it was in the 50s and more importantly, I HAD A DAY OFF. Perhaps influenced by all the talk on these boards, I purchased a new Tesoro Mojave and received it on Wednesday. Since I don't have any familiarity with this brand or machine, I figured I would take it to a section of a park that I know I have cleaned out. Seems like it would be a good test of what it could do.

I don't have any real feedback to give on the machine yet. I do like a machine that you can turn on and go. The desc. and sep. seem on the better side of decent. I only managed one pull tab today, so that's a win!

About the title of the post and my finds. I do a lot of beach hunting because I live on the coast. The absolute bane of my existence and greatest cause of "thrill ride to heart break" emotions for me are the lids to these guys:



OHMYGOODNESSASILVERDOLLAROHSONOFA!

Well, today, I found something to replace those pains in the rear. I honestly thought I found my first cut silver in a "hunted out" part of the park. As it turns out, I was getting a tone from a dime right next to it. My heart was RACING!



I was a bit crushed but in the long run, I got my first hunt of the year in. I got outside and played. I'm fifty or sixty cents richer. All in all, it was a good day.

I hope you all got to get outside and enjoy the day!

Thanks for looking

Happens to me all the time like with the gold colored dollar coins that I think is a gold coin, The electrical box knockouts that look like some super old coin Leaf Erickson dropped. or the famous Chucky Cheese token list goes on but they are fun to have that feeling if only briefly!!!!@!@@!

About 3 years ago I hit a 6 token Chuck-E-Cheese spill. They were brown as could be. I just about died when I flipped that plug.

I would have clicked "love" if that were an option. I still have a few of those from when I was a kid, great times. But if I dug one I would be like WTHeck

I would say its a lose. If you miss these, you miss gold.

Typically I would agree, but the only reason it was the one pull tab was because I had already pulled them all. I dig all those numbers with my AT PRO. This was more a test run with the new detector than anything else. I was a little surprised I missed those coins the first time around.
