Great Finds!

I started decades ago, with a talking Garrett.
I did buy a pinpointer once. It just seemed to be more trouble carrying it, along with everything else, and juggling stuff around to use it.
Your detectors field goes both up and down. You can lay it down near the coin you just pinpointed with the coil within reach, and as you pull out the dirt and plugs, run it over the coil. It will beep when you find it.
You should get the same beep and verification as your detector originally gave. If not, it may be multiple targets.
Most detectors have pinpoint feature that works well. I also find that open coil helps too. You can eyeball the spot to mark it in your mind before moving the coil to dig. You can also stick your digger in the ground thru that center hole before moving the coil.
Due to health probs, I still have my detectors. I should sell, but it feels like giving up, sigh!

 

Great finds. I have found that the pinpointer is very useful. I am the champion of finding pull tabs, errant tin foil and beer cans with my detector. I am glad to see someone having some really good finds.

 

Imagine the look on the cashier's face at Burger King if you go and try to redeem that token for a free coffee.

 

It has crossed my mind.. no exp date,she better take it

 

Haha,trust me,there was alot of that too...for me it's jar lids.....jar lids everywhere

 

The Asian coin with a 10 on the back is a Japanese 10 Yen coin. The side with the date isn't showing in the picture, but these have been minted since 1951.

日本国 - means "Japan"
十円 - means "10 Yen"

 

I use a Garret as well,t has been a great machine thus far.I wish you the best with your health issues,its not giving up...but...passing along an opportunity. I'm sure theres a kid out there who would love to be using them. Cheers

 

Thanks for the info,here is the other side

 

That's actually the same side showing in the first photo. The date is right below the "10" on the reverse.

 

Lol,my bad.

 

There it is! 昭和六十三年 or the 43rd year of the reign of Emperor Showa (Hirohito) or 1968.

 

Awesome,thank you for the great info and translation

 

I think those characters read "6" "10" "3" or 63, which means it would be 1988. Regardless, if it could speak, I wonder how it made it to Tennessee.

 

Yes, you're right - that's a "6" not a "4" - that's what I get for hurrying.

So it should be the 63rd year of Meiji, which is 1988, one year before Hirohito's death. Sorry!

 

With the new emperor, I wonder if they're gonna start from Year 1, or if they have to wait for the old emperor to pass on.

 

I have heard that 令和元年, or "First year of Reiwa" coins will come out later this year. Similarly dated coins were issued when Hirohito died (as you probably already know, but others may not). In 1989, Japan issued coins for both 昭和六十四年 and 平成元年 that same year. But, even though Akihito is still alive, it looks like Japan considers the Heisei era finished and the Reiwa era already begun. When I was in Japantown in San Fransisco a month ago, shops were already displaying calendars with Reiwa dates. The era began when Akihito abdicated and Naruhito ascended to the throne, which happened on May 1st of this year.

This wiki page says that the Reiwa 100 and 500 Yen coins should be circulating by the end of July.

 

Cool finds. I like the belt buckle actually
