Tana, that is INCREDIBLE!!! It's in beautiful shape. They come out of the ground beautiful here, just as in the midwest where I'm from!! In the northeast the ground eats them alive and you can barely recognize them.
Congrats!!!! thumbsup01

Thanks everyone! What was SO WILD about my find--- is I had just swung near a little pile of cans I'd gathered from the bushes. It read 85/86 VDI which I COULD have mistook for the cans! I kicked them over a bit and sure enough....
I'm in love! Now I have to buy some of those coin sleeve thing-a-doo-hickeys lol
I moved a lot of junk from front yard to porch today- we'll have to hunt some more there. I found it along the tree line/shrub line next to the driveway! The sideyard is soooo junky- lots of work there. I wonder who lived there before Mr. ...- if those walls could talk...
Just let me know when you want to go out there with me/us Angie! Kevin and I have plans for this weekend. It's 110 acres of beautiful farmland. The old farmhouse was built in 1865 and old Mr...(89 yrs old- he's quite a character) lived there from 1944- 2006.

Short answer - not really lol Long answer, there are some temporary things you can do to it but they all dry out or end up looking fake. My God, you only had it for a couple of hours and already you are trying to ruin it I just let most of mine be and keep them in a 2x2 folder.

Very nice Tana! I am sure you will do just as good at the up and coming hunt. My girlfriend will be with me so you will have someone else to hunt with also.
Way to go!! thumbsup01 Nice large copper you found there. Keep going over that yard, you'll be surprised how many things pop out each time you go. Especially after you've had some time on your new machine and learn all its nuances.

Very nice!!!
Didn't take you long to get the hang of that new machine. Huh?
Congratulations!!!!
I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.
[You were so right- wouldn't trade her for the world! I like the complexity too, the challenge of the programs and such. I still can't quite discern trash from the goods, realizing it will take some time to get to know my machine...
I bet you've found some interesting jewelry and paraphernalia?
lol
Yeah I knew it was something special! But knew not to rub the dirt around and scratch her. It seemed to take forever to get to my car to get the water to rinse her off. lol When the date was revealed I was flying high.
Of course I had to call my detecting buddy immediately (Handyman). Wow what a rush! And of course check my pricing guide to see if worth thousands (just a little disappointed in that arena... but $20 + isn't too bad)
Thanks- looking forward to meeting you both in person! I need to mail in my form- it's laying here on the counter Can't wait for that trip!!! We love camping... I'm bringing hubby, kids and my mom--- the whole fam damily!
Thanks! Yeah, I think I might go back there today after I take my kid to the bus stop- even though it's in the 30's lol rofl lol rofl I'm hooked!
