Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and new to Metal Detecting. My Uncle got into it about a year ago and now he's got me hooked. I've got an AT Pro he sold me.

Anyways, had my most successful day so far. Finally got some older coins.

1936, 1945, and 1951 wheat pennies.

It's what else I found I'm a little confused about, I believe it's a token from a game the Shell Oil Company put out in the 60's. But the pictures I've seen of this game and the coin for Warren G Harding doesn't match the one I found. Any ideas?

Mostly around Austin. I've got so many other hobbies already lol that I don't detect much. I usually just go when my uncle/cousin go. But, I'm definitely getting more and more hooked. It's prime time of the year for fishing and hunting is right around the corner, tough to find time for all of it! Lol
