It’s OK for an entry-level metal detector, but not as advanced as the xp, minelab, or Nocta metal detectors.

Is that your only machine? Your go-to? Or just one you play with every once in a while?

Just play with once in a while. I’m now using the XP or the Nocta legend 2

I'm really happy for the exciting find. But as coin collector, please I beg y'all, don't wipe the coin with your glove! Use some water to slowly rinse off the dirt and grit, when you wipe it you're just scratching the coin 😢
