Sorry ya'll, I'm being lazy. I already made the video so it's easier to just post the link for me than retake photos... I just attached now. I'll add photis from now on.
One day I plan to metal detect, but I live in an area that's just swamp and beaches... I don't imagine there are very many old coins, so I don't bother... I plan to get one next time I'm in the boston area though.
Start early with a machine that fits your needs and learn from what it's telling you. Play with it in local areas. Lots to learn. It takes practice to get good at it.
