I started with an old Compass with only one or knobs.
I dug holes until 1989 when a new career took over my life. I am back, retired, and lots of spare time. I started back with my trusty old White 6000, then an XLT, and now with a new MXT PRO. I found a digging buddy and a tutor to boot. In one month I went from a few coins and junk to 8 rings, two are silver, a nice gold braclet, An 1883 silver dollar, 2 silver halfs.
and of coarse, lots of junk, but lots less digging.
Welcome to a great forum.
Glad to see you started hunting again. Congrats on the items you listed, they are some awesome finds.
If you get a chance... post a picture of that dollar and the halves, we would love to see them. The silver dollar must have been a great rush. <:
