The New Guy Checking In

[Beartoe]

Hello Everyone.

I am from Central New York. Been looking for treasure all my life but never found any until a few years back when I retired and got me a metal detector. I still have not found any treasure to speak of but have found a lot of good stuff. I guess if you put everything I have found in one big box it would qualify as treasure.

I have found many coins worth saving. My oldest is a large cent dateing back to 1822. I have a nice collection of rings. Some silver , some gold, some straight out of a Cracker Jacks box. I even found a few things I still have no clue as to what they are or what they were used for. Sometimes it is more fun discovering what an item is than the hunt for the thing.

I am looking forward to sharing this forum with you all.

Hey Beartoe, welcome aboard from western MA. Now that you have found detecting you will be amazed at how hooked you can get on it Detecting is relaxing, educational, exciting and fulfilling! Hope you do well

Another welcome from western MA. I know what you mean about finding the item that you have no idea of what it is. Looking forward to your future posts.

Welcome from Illinois!

Lots of history there in your area, I'm jealous of the old coins and relics that can be found in New England. Congrats on your 1822 Large Cent, that's a great find!

Best of luck and happy hunting!
