Golden pennies Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Hello, I think I am supposed to share a bit about myself so you all know who you're talking to. I live in Southwest Washington and became a treasure hunter at a very young age, digging old outhouses and wells for bottles when I was a preteen, more than four decades ago. I recently took up treasure hunting on a trip to Alaska when I decided to buy a gold pan and see what I could find. That was about 5 years ago, and I have since gold prospected many states and purchased a gold monster 1000 a couple years ago which I've used successfully most recently in Puerto Rico. Several months ago My wife surprised me with my first general use metal detector, a Garrett 300, and last month I purchased an Equinox 800. I'm quite new to metal detecting and have a lot to learn. I've attached a few pictures of recent finds. I started a little YouTube channel to document my activity, and it's listed under golden pennies prospecting. Looking forward to connecting with all of you. Thanks for having me in the forum! Troy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned using the ML Gold Monster 1000 in Puerto Rico. Was that for natural gold, beach jewelry, or ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogodog Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Welcome Troy, So glad you decided on DP. Looks like you have found some great stuff over the years. Just my two cents on the 800, keep it simple and you will do really well in the coin department. Looking forward to your future posts, Coins, bottles or gold it's all good to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
