Hello All! I recently purchased a very old Whites Coinmaster 2 TRDX on fleabay. Wanted one since I was about 10. I know there are more advanced models but I just had to start with one like the ones in the magazines from when I was a kid, and the price was right.
I live in a house that is approximately 100 years old so I figured I had a good place to practice. Oddly, most of the coins I have found so far are 1950's through 2007... go figure! I was beginning to think I might be wasting my time until I came across an 1895 Indian head penny! Cool. Havent had one of those in my hind since I was a kid. That kept me going. I took a break for dinner, went back to the yard, and as soon as I lowered the coil to the ground a moved it about 3" to the left, I got a hit. I dug a nice round plug, peeled it back, and found a 14K gold ring. It is small enough to fit a child's finger but is fairly wide. I thought it felt rather heavy for its size. Anyway, that's enough to keep me going! One thing that I've noticed is that the vast majority of items I have found have been 1 to 3 inches under ground. I cant help but think I'm missing alot, especially since my house is 100+ years old and most of the items have been fairly modern. Any thoughts on this from anyone? Is my machine a bit lacking? I look forward to the hobby and reading this forum! Thanks All, Ike

Welcome from Freeport, IL and HH. You'll find out in a couple months that you want a better detector, but sounds like your doing fine with that one. I wonder what's deeper.

Welcome to "Friendly"
Once the addiction takes hold you will be wanting to upgrade. The newer detectors are meaner, leaner, deeper, and a lot lighter. Welcome aboard Gil
