And I have already found the oldest coin I have ever found "With It". So the detector has a real good start for me right out of the box.
The coin is a "1868" nickle and its in pretty good condition to be 144 years old.
And what's even better, is to find the coin I didn't even have to turn the detector ON! or even put it together
See pictures below.
Okay, the above is true, but its twisted just a little LOL!
When I was unpacking the detector and getting all the past two month of the Sunday Tribune out of the box I seen a little dark disk laying flat in the bottom of the box, at first I just ignored it thinking it was a piece of cardboard. Well, before I started sticking the classifieds back in the box for trash, I again saw the disk, I thought that's round enough to be a coin, probably a penny (it was kind of dark looking).
I reached in and picked it up and it wasn't no PENNY! I started looking at it VERY close to find out that it was the 1868 nickle below WoW I thought, a little extra that was put in the box just to sweeten the deal.
Then I thought about that, why wasn't it in some kind of wrapper or other little package?
This thing almost got tossed in the trash the way it was just lose in the bottom of the box?
Jason in our contacts didn't mention anything about treasure hunting the box for any extra surprises?
So, contacted him about the mystery nickle and he told me that he didn't put it in the box? nor did he really know how it got in there?
It had to be his, there is No Other Way for it to have gotten inside the box!
He did suggest that maybe his kid may have dropped it in the box?
It just goes to show how easy stuff like coins can get lost!
I do pan on putting it in a wrapper and sending it back to him.
And for the detector I was really surprised just how much smaller it was than the Coinstrike. (A good surprise). it seems to work good but I've only did some indoor air test.
