  1. Thanks! I found a dateless silver liberty quarter last year in the yard. My grandfather did a lot of moving dirt so somethings may be lost in most of the yard. I found the two coins in a untouched part of the yard. I will keep trying in all parts of the yard. I will try to get permissions because my neighborhood ranges from 1938 to 1958. Good luck to you as well!
  2. It could have been! We can only guess at this point! That’s crazy that you could get 70 pennies out of one hole!!
  3. The instructions are right below the knobs, so I can’t lose them. I will look into the adapter because I have iPhone earbuds. Thanks for letting me know!
  4. I did find a silver liberty quarter not to far away from the area this came from. I will keep looking!!!! I did clean it with a paper towel and dawn but that’s it. It does look nice! I inherited my great grandfather’s finds and his wheats where very hard to read, so I’m lucky. I hope this is one of many!! Thanks!!
  5. A mile stone in my metal detecting hobby, my first wheat penny. I found it today in my yard near my driveway, at the edge of my property. I though it would be a memorable penny(just like the rest of the pennies I found in my yard) but it turned out to be wheat. A 1942 D to be exact. The house was built in 1940, so it was there most likely ever since. I am glad to have it. I cleaned the dirt off with dawn and a paper towel. Do you think it needs to be cleaned more or is it nice the way it looks?
  6. No the directions stay to turn it on, set sensitivity to high, if it makes chatter slightly back off. It has discrimination of iron and pull tabs. I might try to see if it has different beeps for different items, but reallly don’t care. As a beginner I like to dig everything! Thanks!!!!!!
  7. I am happy with this one but I would like to find a better one as a back up or to try out something a bit newer. A budget isn’t the biggest question because I own a small 4 unit apartment building and collect rent every month. The big question is what would be a good detector to chose? Thank you!!!!!
  8. I got my belt off eBay for my birthday last year. I believe it to be Vietnam era. I came with all sorts of pouches. A pouch for the shovel, a small ammunition pouch( used as a pouch for finds), a canteen and a compass pouch. My dad got the shovel about 15 years ago. It was dated 1945. I didn’t have a pouch, so when I got the belt it came with one. I might look in to that little shovel you have. I looks like a good back up, and more discrete I public areas. So true what you said at the end.
  9. Hi, it does have a headphone jack. It is not like on on an iPhone, it is a bit bigger.(I don’t have one). I can hear the beep without headphones. I don’t go by the sound of the beep to know what to dig. If it sound like a steady beep I dig. This detector doesn’t have volume control, the sensitivity turns it on.
  10. Hi, I was using my only usable detector. It is a older bounty hunter tracker I-d 505. It only has a little needle, and I don’t even know how that works, I put a picture below. I do t really go by a signal because I just dig everything(it works for me as a beginner) if I had a better detector I but it would have been crazy!!! Thanks
  11. Hi, I always find a lot with this stuff. I am very good with refilling my holes. I like the quality of the USA made army grade tools. The detector is USA made to. The detector I used before was from the 70s and it didn’t find much(just a collectible now). I like to check those places a lot too! I am in south western Pennsylvania. Thank you!!!
  12. Hi, the penny is 1975 D, the quarter and half dollar are 1976 D and the dime and nickel are 1975 P. I can’t believe I is so nice!!! Love it!
  13. Wow! Look at what just came out of my aunts backyard! It looks like a 1976/bicentennial coin collection. It clean up really nice after a lot of work. It was not very deep. I am really glad I didn’t damage the acrylic(I think it is acrylic). I wonder how it got into the ground. Did someone bury it on purpose? Who knows. It is a great display. I can’t believe how nice it is. What do you think?
  14. I got the 1945 us army shovel from my great grandmother’s third husband. It was given to my dad, and then he gave it to me. the older bounty hunter tracker I-d 505 detected is from my neighbor, who gave it to me for free. It works great, but I know it isn’t modern or efficient. I don’t have a pinpointer, but I make it work I have a us army web belt to hold my shovel and my finds. this is not exactly My stuff just pictures off google. let me know what I should improve. Should it upgrade? what do you use?
  15. Thank you! I never Knew that after 1925 the date would be gone. Thank you for the information! Always great to get more info on stuff!
  16. Hi, thank you! I have not looked under high magnification, but I’m sure the date is gone. I would say it is from 1918 to 1925, because it is not a rare 1916 or 17, and they fixed the date problem in 1925. I am really happy to find one of these! Good luck to you on finding one some day!
  17. Thanks for the info. I knew a little about the quarter. My grandfather did a lot of ground work in the front yard. The dirt was moved around, but no new dirt added. I found this on the untouched side of the yard. I found this last June, and have done a lot of detecting since. I did find other coins, the oldest 1969. I am very lucky to find it in my first year! Thank you.
  18. I’m sorry, Steve. I didn’t know about that. I’m new here. I will turn it down a little
  19. Found in my yard, house built in 1940. It was the only old coin found in the yard. Hit it a little on the back, but I’m happy. Let me know what you think.
