<p>[QUOTE="352sdeer, post: 2922664, member: 91351"]Oh yea, I looked at coins with a 5X magnifying lense for 30 years before I got a scope and still managed to find lots of fun stuff no problems. I know I missed 10’s of thousands of things but it didn’t stop me from having fun. I still use a bare lense to this very day here is one of my little friends with me this morning in the trenches looking at some more rolls of copper. Why do I use a bare lense you ask? Because Rusty Wilson the neighborhood Bully would beat you up for anything of value you might have so we would take the lense out of the frame and carry our glass in our back pocket that way the handle wouldn’t stick out and draw attention. Also had to put any coins in our underwear on he way back so he wouldn’t find our treasures when we came back on our bikes. Tough days back then I don’t know what today’s kids would do if they got beat up two or three times a month![ATTACH=full]707946[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
