My son Jason was at it again today with his Whites Treasure Pro detector in Northern California. He started off the day at an old burned down house that burnt in 1936 & soon found a nice Mercury dime (1926-P) in good shape. Next came a fantastic Buffalo nickel (1936-S) that looks like it was lost brand new! Next he dug a 1916-D Lincoln cent and a 1936. He usually hunts old bottles, but graduated today into the world of coin collecting!

He must have a very good mentor. Most take baby steps in this hobby before they learn to run. He took his first step at a full run. Trapper

Good times and good memories. Nice job! That 1916 wheat penny is in pretty good shape. Keep up the good work there is more to come.

Nice hunting and congrats to your son on the great finds! The TreasurePro is a great entry level detector with a lot of higher end features. My girlfriend uses one and has found silver in spots I previously hit with my Vaquero and Etrac!

That's a great hunting report
I'm sure he has the perfect class already cleaned and ready for various finds storage .
I would love to find some cool old glass to use as a home for treasures.
Congradulations on the new hunting buddy.
