Pulled out the detector from the box, set it up and not even 15 seconds later it was going off, start digging it was a crushed soda can... Went over the dig spot again and it was still going off so I kept digging and 2 inches deeper was a 1772 mills halfpenny.

An aluminum Burger King token for a free breakfast beverage.

Although there wasn't an expiration date on it, and I never figured out how old it was.. I figured it had expired, and just kept it.

When I got my first detector many many years ago ("Radio Shack Special") I took it to a local baseball diamond. Under third base I got a very strong signal. A Hibachi! About a foot and a half down. Just as I was about to leave that day I was standing on the pitcher's mound. I looked down and there was a dime on the mound. Turned out to be a 1943 Mercury. Sitting right on the ground; go figure.

A detector customer bought a $40 junker for his 5yo son. He showed the kid how it worked and dug up a nail and a pulltab.

The boy took over, and in less than a minute found his first coin--a warnickel!

An XF 1851 Large cent found in my Grandmother's bathroom while we were living in Delaware. This was when I was 4 or 5, so 30 years ago!
