Likely all had first finds from area of packing materials. I here found at first the whole heap of jams from under vodka. Well it is normal - I in Russia.
The first good find was a silver coin of 50 kopeks of 1896.
I so was delighted. I thought that now all treasures will be mine.
Still I store this coin, as a talisman

P.S. Excuse, if my English bad. I write with the dictionary.

My first find is somewhere in this pile of Lincolns.

I brought my ACE 250 down to an old beach on the Mississippi (yuck). I turned it on and when the coil touched the ground it beeped. It was a clad dime and took about 15-20 seconds to find.

My first (just a couple of weeks ago) was in my back yard. Appears to be a small suncatcher with most of the colored plastic knocked out. I'm keepin' it!

 

[HutSiteDigger]

Think mine was a shotgun shell.... First civil war relic was a 3 ringer and first button was a Eagle I button! With a Fisher 1266x

Mine was an eye ball find as a kid. An arrowhead. I still have it. My metal detector find was a 3 ringer in the front yard. Boy have I gone down hill Today was nothing but shotgun hulls.

My first find was my edding band that i lost in our yard doing landscaping work. My second find was also my wedding band. I have since only worn my wdding band when we go out

My first find was a musket ball the rain had washed up at age 11 in New York and I started to think about those detector ads in "Popular Mechanics" Mag, but it was about dowsing long range stuff then in the "60s.

 

[Terry Soloman]

My first find was classic..

 

[Eastexasoutdoors]

Back in 1959 I was at the library and read a back issue of Popular Mechanics and read an article on metal detectors. The had a design and instructions, so I made one. It had one ear plug, emitted a constant tone that changed when you went over metal, and used a very heavy battery. It was good to maybe five inches on coins in loose playground sand. I took it to the school I went to and cleaned up all the coins in the playground. I also found some bottle caps. There were no pull tabs back then. I found an old Roy Rogers pocket knife that has the Morse Code on the back. I think I still have that knife. I paid for my investment in less than a week. The detector was made from wood that I cut, a broom handle, a simple electric circuit of parts I bought from a place that fixed radios and TV's, and a large, heavy battery used on a special kind of flashlight. My coil was wound from the wire in a car radio transformer. All my coins were silver or Wheaties. That's all we had back then. Love to find some of them again. Imagine you are out on a search and you find two standing liberty quarters and you are thirsty, so you go over to a Coke machine and spend them! Ha! The good old days.

Maybe it is a lockout-tagout tag for equipment repair. Very possibly railroad equipment. This would be given to someone that would lock a switch and put this tag on the lock to identify who locked it. Only that person can unlock it. It's for safety. It's a longstanding procedure common at power plants. Many trains deliver coal to plants.
