Hello everyone! My name is Casey. I just joined this forum a few minutes ago. I have never been metal detecting before but have recently become very interested in it. I've always loved finding things while walking around. My mom calls me the eagle eye because I'm always finding change and stuff people have dropped on the ground! I need a new hobby, so I have decided to pick myself up a metal detector! Within a couple of weeks I will have ordered my first metal detector! I'm SOOO excited! I cant wait. I still have to save up a little bit more money until I can buy one. After reading a bunch of threads on this forum about which metal detector I should get being a beginner, I've decided I'm going to buy a Fisher F2.
Anyways one thing I see a lot of people taking about that is confusing me is the names of these coins you guys are finding. I keep hearing words like clad, and zinc penny, and wheatie penny, and all sorts off different dimes, like merc? and memorial? and silver coins, indian heads etc. Its very confusing
So if someone could explain all of these coin you guys are talking about that would be great!
Thanks!
p.s. sorry for the noob question.. oh, and dont worry there will be many more to come!!
I CANT WAIT TO GET MY METAL DETECTOR!!!!
