Hello Everyone!

I just picked up a new hobby and I LOVE IT! I bought the bounty hunter tracker IV from hobby lobby for ~$65. I went with that because it seemed to give the most bang for your buck.

I've taken my friend with me all 3 times I've gone and shared the detector. Yesterday he showed up and pulled his own tracker IV from his trunk. I guess he wants to keep the stuff he digs up now :?: :laughing:
It's a great hobby and my girlfriend loves it too. I've taken her out with me twice now.

Attached is from my 3 finds. I found a 1965 quarter AND dime in the same hole. :mad::mad:
I found a 1955 wheat, 2 costume rings, a padlock, magnet, smashed penny from Boone Railroad, half of some sunglasses, a carnival token, some type of rock/meteorite, and a bunch of clad.
No silver or gold yet.
I found something neat though. It looks like some sort of utility cap/cover from early 1900s. Anyone have info on what it might be?

EDIT: Forgot about the EARRING I FOUND! Is it worth anything? The coating is starting to coming off. Not sure what kind of metal it is.
