A Metal Detector For Father's Day
June 15, 2008, 12:07:46 PM
Got a metal detector for Father's Day from my kids, today I found one 1977 cent, one 1965 quarter, and a 1977 Quarter.  But the best find came next to a tree in my backyard, a 1917 Lincoln. ;D

The 1977 was one I had to dig a while for, it was a pain to find, the 1917 wasn't much better but the quarters were easy.



I could get hooked on this thing, with first finds like that.  My son has his own machine and found a silver ladle near the tree where I found the Wheat cent.
