Message:: [QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 539566, member: 17665"]Hi!. I would like to hear from anyone who was bitten by THing (treasure hunting). Although I'm sure it's probably been run thru before, I'm new and would like to hear about your experiances.  I got my first White's detector in 1978 and the first coin I found was right in a field in my dad's back yard. It was a 1736 Dutch East Indies piece. It probably fell out of a hole in someones pocket i would guess. But there was, right next to the field, an old clay factory in the early years of The Township of New Marlborough in the Village of Clayton, where we lived. So there was quite a bit of activity in this area and was quite busy with all of the logging and grist mills on the river. Deforestation was rampant here in that time period right through the middle 1800's, up until the railroads came. I got my second detector, a Tesoro Golden Eagle about 12 years ago I think and it's a great machine. Nothing major in coins found yet but plenty of old farm equipment. This is fun to sand blast and hang in my gardens. What have been some of your experiances?[/QUOTE]
