I felt really strange standing there beside her. One loud signal produced a very large silver foreign coin. I agreed and started hunting under the eves of her house. I can remember days when I would have nearly 100 coins in my pocket within 4 or 5 hours of searching.Ī lady in our church heard of my finds and asked me to search her yard for a ring she had lost years before.

I found loads of Barber Dimes, rings, and Indian Head pennies.

I returned to hunted out parks and it was like they had never been hunted before. When my machine finally arrived, I spent about 1 hour with it in my testing area, came back into the house, and put my other machines in the closet. The year was 1982 and Fisher announced their new metal detector the 1260-X.
