I finally had a chance to search for treasures with the detector I bought over the winter. Well, my first find was sure a special one!  |

A quick thirty second acetone soak, a little Verdigris, and man, that would still look like crap... :) Great first find!

Do you guys think NGC might give it a clipped planchet grade?

How do you like the 350? Is it pretty easy to pick up? My 350 is on the way and I've never been detecting before. I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas.

I like it okay.. I have only had one other detector when I was a kid and if I had to guess, i'd say it was from the early 1600s. It took 14 AA batteries in 2 seperate blocks and weighed like 30 pounds. This is WORLDS better. I havent had much time to take it out and really search though.

Yeah, it was pretty spectacular. I was all of 12 at the time.
I wish I still had that thing. I'm not sure what happened to it. Maybe I will find it in the weeds some day with my new detector. lol
