I haven't been detecting for long (less than a year) and I'm still looking for my first silver. Been hunting around a house built in 1902 and I've found a few wheats so I know it's possible just haven't found them.

It is the year my mother was born. Dad in 1920. Now I'm hitting retirement age. I've been detecting since I bought the Equinox 800 and the oldest coins I've found are 2 1944 Mercury dimes and a 1944 quarter. They're coming. I can't get out as much as I used to. Take care, y'all.

Living in the state of Washington State, it's hard to find silver let alone a mercury dime. I've been hunting now for 3 years and only have a few Rosie dimes. Both my parents were born in 1919 and it would be a great memento. Love watching you guys.

My 5 year old granddaughter got her first detector for Christmas. If I had it, I'd draw up a treasure map and we'd follow it to the spot marked X. She'd have her first TREASURE 😊

Based on my own experience with the Manticore, you now have to re-visit any site you've ever hunted. I continue to be impressed with the finds I'm making that I somehow missed with my army of previous Minelabs. Continued succcess men!

I remember my first metal detector that I got and still have. It is a White Beach Comer, the first coin that I found was a 1944 Merc. I have it in a small shallow box hanging on the wall with a small sign with the date that I found along with a picture of me pointing where the coin was in the hole. I was so proud. Congrats to you and Gary on your finds. Keep on digging those beeps.

Older Jefferson nickle usually come up 23-25, but those new ugly buggers come up higher 28-29. Good luck hunting with the new machines, I would love to have one of those as well, Someday hopefully I will. I noticed someone saying they would do a treasure hunt with your “signed” coin for their granddaughter, I think I would do the same with my grandson. He loves to watch videos with me, and go metal detecting.😁

Welcome to the beast club boys! Gonna need about 50 hours to train your ear and then you can confidently call your type of coin. Don't worry too much about the numbers or the ID. Depending on the dirt you're in, the numbers will fluctuate wildly. The best part of the Manticore is its separation and ability to find upright coins. It will make all of your old sites new again! Enjoy :) SB

Glad to see you are using the best machine out there. I’m just kidding I’m sure the D2 is a good machine I’m just not a fan of screen and menu on that one. On manticore if you get in heavy iron turn down sensitivity to 20-21 and you’ll know it a square nail. I’m sure you knew that already but when I first started using it I would be running at 25 and above and it falses bad from halo effect on iron. The vdi numbers can be all over the place. I dug a barber dime that rang up at 63 but had two square nails in the hole. Dug a cart wheel penny at same number and it had five nails in with it. Those things are huge. Should have rang up more like a large cent at 90. I love manticore!
