[QUOTE="BCoinshooter, post: 872, member: 97"][b]Detecting Is A Fun Hobby[/b] For myself, I own 2 metal detectors. One is a Fisher 1266-X (VERY Sensitive) and my other is a Garrett GTAx550. I have been an active detectorist since the age of 14 (I'm now 32), and I have been pleasantly surprised with my finds. Some of my best include: 1897o Barber Half 1895s Barber Half 1869 Two Cent Piece 1898 Indian Head Cent (in EF grade) Alas, I have not been lucky enough to strike gold, but I am very happy with the silver coins I've found. It's true though, that many coins dug from the ground have problems, that some older collectors may say "These are not really collectible", but I have found that most of my finds are quite acceptable for my own collection. Give metal detecting a try, if you really want a numismatic challenge. Best To All, Barry[/QUOTE]
