2nd time out with the Patriot

[dwalker212]

Went to a local park for 2 1/2 hours today, I only have a total of 5 hours on the machine. I am liking it so far.
I'm running 50 sen, iron and foil notched out, DE speed, thresh -2, 3 tones.
I dug a lot of tabs because I was told gold could register in the tab range, so far everything that read "tab" has been a tab.
Found some clad, a 1930 wheat, and some junk jewelry. Don't laugh, but I was excited about the wheat cent because it is the first one I have found lol.

No One is laughing..Your first dated coin is always a thrill ..Wait till you find that first Silver..

Hey 88 year old coin is a very good find. Good job and keep us posted with updates on your finds.

Hey Dave-----Congrats on your first wheat back!-----I LOVE finding them--little pieces of American history they are--every one of 'em.-----I've found thousands of them over the years and still get a charge out of finding every one of them.-----Besides that, where you find Wheaties--there VERY WELL could be silver in the area.-----Keep up the good work.---------Del

This is on grand and exciting hobby and I suspect you are already hooked. I like finding wheaties as they are a good indicator that silver coins can be around. Good hunting! HH jim tn

dwalker, that is great you found a wheat cent! Congrats! It looks like the Patriot is really clicking with you! I look fiveward (that's forward with inflation) to seeing more finds from you.
