Just started detecting last month with my Legend.
I secured a permission to a colonial era farm. Was a beautiful place, only detected by the home owner.
So I am out there maybe 30 mins....no foil...good sign...
Get a nice solid 40, start diggin...and what to my wondering eyes should appear? An OX KNOB! I GOT AN OX KNOB! WOOT! You old timers may not be impressed but I was over the moon. My first real relic.
Another 30 mins, nice 33, cant find it in hole or plug...look over and next to the shovel I see green! Bam! An old crusty Indian head penny! Another first!
The penny was in bad shape, barely identifiable.
It started raining so I quit and showed the home owner and she insisted on keeping both. I smiled and said sure. Just glad to have found something old.
Then she says, I hope you don't feel bad that I am taking both. So I say, nah, no problem.
Then she says "I am going to keep everything you find."
I said no problem, and left. I Don't really get why she said that, but she owns the place, and I was just happy to find my first cool finds.
I may go back, but knowing she wont let me keep anything is disappointing.
But I will always remember that moment holding my beautiful ox knob.
Oh yeah, so I am showing her the indian head and we couldn't identify it for certain at first. So she grabs it and says, sometimes running water over it works. At this point she had already said she was keeping it so I didn't object to her destroying the coin by washing it....which in fact did erase nearly all detail. She ruined my first coin. Took, my knob and broke my heart.
Lol
Totally worth it.
