I've spent about 40 hours (really addicted already) hunting over the last 3 weeks since I got my first ride, a BH QD2, and this is what I have so far, besides the usual bottle caps and other "junk". All of these finds are from my yard or mostly a local park.

20 plus Wheaties. 6 found in a stack at the park.

40457

A drummer boy with a defect from my yard.
40456

Also from my yard a war alloy nickel.
40455

Misc. pieces of jewelry all found near the walking path at a local park. The little gold lump on the surface.
40454


And my first 3 silver. All found at the park the murc and quarter on one day last week.
40458

Back to reality and a heavy workload from the remainder of this month but hopefully I can get out some.

HH,
Paul

Only 3 weeks and you are already making finds like a pro! Good job and it only gets better as you learn the "language" of your machine. I predict you'll upgrade to an e-trac in 1 year! HH, Dave.

Holy cow, man! I'll be asking you for advice before long! I've skirted around war nickel years but still looking for my first. Great start! :clapping:

You have done really well for just beginning. :clapping: You already have silver, jewelry and wheats. A lot of people go a long time before getting their first silver. Nice job Paul.

You definitely are off to a good start. I live in Glen Ellyn, Illinois maybe we can meet some time for a hunt or two.

Well, well, well.... I'd say your doin' pretty darn good!!

I, like many others, hunted for quite awhile before I dug my first silver coins.
Congrats!! :grin:

You even got a few nice pieces of jewlery too!
I think I see some stamps on the hoop earring. :huh: Is it a kart mark by any chance? :huh: Or is a Avon? :disgusted: :lol:
