Newbie with my first find - MXT Pro

[LET-CA]

I purchased a White's MXT Pro from Larry at Big Valley Detectors in Citrus Heights, CA this week and took it out for my first use today at a local park (posted okay for metal detecting). I stayed close to the baseball backstop, knowing that it has been there for at least 50 years (since I played Little League there 50 years ago. . . ) In no time I was getting all kinds of hits for pennies at various depths up to 8 inches. I passed on all those but decided to flip over a piece of sod for the dime at 3-inches. You can only imagine my delight with it turned out to be what I believe to be a $20 gold piece. To the untrained eye, it looks a lot like a 1983 Liberty Dime, but who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?! Photo below for proof of find. Lots of fun!

Swinging the detector back and forth is surprisingly addictive.
