<p>[QUOTE="TheBigH, post: 287414, member: 9866"]Well, I got mine for $200 five years ago, and I've never really detected anywhere other than my back yard. I have detected at about 3 other sites and not found much (however I do have a promising lead). In the two back yards I've lived in, however, I found the following coins:</p><p> </p><p>1 Walking Liberty half</p><p>2 Silver Washingtons</p><p>2 Silver Roosies</p><p>3 Silver war-time nickels</p><p>3 Buffalo nickels (two worn out, one 1916, and in extremely nice shape, other than the dark brown color it's gotten since it's been in the ground)</p><p>about 18 wheat cents</p><p>1 1908 IHC</p><p>1 1935 dog license</p><p>1 1950's toy car (with the blue color still intact on the entire car)</p><p>1 1920's Fiancee brand powder compact</p><p>Numerous modern coins</p><p> </p><p>So, the short version is, I recommend the detector. And don't make the same mistake I did. As soon as you get that great machine, do as some research as humanly possible. I did very little, which is why I haven't actively used my machine in several years.
