And i'm sure in my wifes head she's still hearing me talk about it because i think i have told her the story 100 times. Tom came over and looked and said right on thats a good way to start detecting. Tom looked over at me and asked what did you find? I said it is a indian head penny from 1898. I then dug up a coin and wiped off the dirt and seen an indian head and yelled 'OH YA'. When we walked back over there we were only detecting a few minutes when i got a signal. Tomharris76 said lets go back to where those jar lids were and look some more. We searched for a while and found junk then went into some nearby woods and found nothing. When we got there we found broken glass jar lids. He thought for a second and said well when i was growing up in the 1960's i could remember an old house being tore down. We got back in my truck and seen a farmer in a field and stopped and asked him if he knew of any old homesteads we could check out. We left there and went to an old abandoned house i knew of and found junk. We went to a near by park and my first coin was a 1971 half dollar and we found other newer coins. Before we got started Tom said to me I would kill for an indian head penny today. I just bought a bounty hunter time ranger from him so I thought i would try it out.

Tomharris76 came up on saturday and went metal detecting with me. Well thanks to tomharris76 and vanoldschool for getting me into this hobby.
