On your Mark...

[DiggerODirt]

Get Set...Go Detecting! I got a strange 12-31 signal that stayed put and was a solid repeatable signal...thought I might have an Injun, but out pops a copro-bronze 5 Deutche Mark coin from 1983 Minted in Frankfurt, Germany. Back when I was in the service in 1986-1990, that would have been worth about $12.00...I also found 1938, 36, 51, and 56D Wheat Cents...and 1964, 65 Nickels. Not a bad hunt for 2 hours...My elbow has been bugging me when detecting for the past month or so...Might be getting arthritis...Hope it gets better, because I can not do ANYTHING with my left arm...I need this right arm to swing and dig. If it keeps getting sore, I may have to give up the detecting, or start using my shovel and a swingy thingy.





HH,

Congrats on all your finds!! By all means, try the swingy thingy. I use one and it makes a huge difference
in the amount of energy you use during the day. It's really nice too in that you can let go of your detector
while standing if you need to adjust your headphones, clear some branches ect. HH

Congratulations on your finds. While I don't use a swinging aid, I sure would try it rather than give up detecting. Probably will come to that some day. Thanks for the pictures.

Looks like a pretty good hunt to me. I of course love digging old U.S. coins the most, but I like finding foreign coins and tokens as a change of pace. From what I hear, the Swingy Thingy will probably do you a world of good, but don't give up on your left arm. While you're sitting at home watching t.v. at night, do a few curls with a 10 lb. dumbbell. Before long you'll be ambidextrous.
