First post...newbie showing off some cool finds with MXT

[firewxman]

First let me say hello...I am a newbie to this site but have been swinging my MXT for about a year now...

Here's my first official post of finds from yesterday


Nebtrac (forum member) and I met up for detecting yesterday somewhere in central Nebraska. Before I tell you of my finds, I must say to make sure to watch for Nebtrac's post of finds. It will draw a lot of hits.

The day started off with me finding a 1916 wheat penny. So I was pretty excited, but the day got much better. I quickly followed the wheat up with a beautiful 1918 Mercury dime. Then not to be outdone, a 1903 Barber half-dollar was unearthed, breaking my previous oldest find record by 8 years. I continued to hunt and, lo and behold, I pulled out a 1920D that is in really good condition. Soon after I found a 1909 wheatie. Unfortunately no VDB or S mint mark. In the same hole I was able to break my oldest coin record by 4 more years when I pulled out a 1899 Indian Head penny; my first Indian head and first find in the 1800s. The day ended with me finding another 1920D. All of this in a farmer's old field. I'll leave the history of the field to Nebtrac and leave you in suspense of his finds. Trust me, you will want to see one of them.

Nice finds. Wish I could keep my mxt. After about 6 months of research it was my choice as the best in the price range.

Nice finds & you just forced me into moving, I have only found one silver this year. Now all I have to do is decide Nebraska or Illinois?

Although we've never been introduced Nancy. I have been following some of your posts here, basically eversince Firewxman and I have been hunting...as he runs an MXT. The day he made all these awesome finds I invited him over to Findmall and specifically mentioned you. I think you have a neat service with your Law enforcement instruction. Keep up the good work.

Ahhh, Thanks NebTrac. BIG congrats on your silver dollar find. What a great find for sure! And thank you for giving your friend Firewxman the heads up on Findmall. He's doing a wonderful job with his MXT and I can't wait to hear more from him. I wish you and all HH, Nancy

Hello Larry and Nancy...and everyone else! Thanks for all the kind words! I hope to post some more finds soon, provided that the snow does not come too soon!
