Can you find old coins with a detector?

[daleo]

could someone let meknow if most old coins can be found with a detector?

Sure can. What are you using? I've found heaps this year & all with a detector (AT Pro Int)

 

[Nugget]

Yes definitely, I recently found an old worn threepence, these guys are very small and my AT-GOLD sang like a fat lady when it picked it up.

the penny should be easy for any detector to find, those penny coins are huge

Embarrassingly it's a elcheapo I bought mainly for the kids so they could feel they are taking part and to have some fun on our road trips. But I defiantly will be looking for something decent in the next few weeks for myself now we are settled in

My suggestion is start in playground and dig everything make sure you fill holes so littles don't get hurt & you can learn heaps even from rubbish that's dug you get to know where in playgrounds to look. I like the bark playgrounds with treated pine equipment.

Mate you have to start somewhere, that elcheapo (as you put it) has obviously got you interested in the hobby so that's a good thing. Let us know if we can help you decide on what detector to get.
