Default Front yard finds

Hello,

I went detecting in my yard again today using my coin program with the Lab.

It sure is a good program..found around 24 clad coins and two pieces of junk. Thats not bad because I dug every signal.

I remember that ford key, it was for my 76 pickup.

I'm going to tumble these coins with my new tumbler

Hey Greg good going on finding them coins!

Hey how about showing a picture of the coins after you tumble them.

I may have to get me one and learn how to use it!

Default Tumbler..........

What Brand of tumbler do you have and how much do they cost?.....
I know you can get single or double barrel type tumblers. If double, you can tumble copper in one and silver (new dimes,quarters, etc.) in the other....I'm seriously thinking about buying one for all the clads I have found since beginning this grand hobby of ours!!....
......also What do you use for a medium?.........thanks Greg..... and keep on finding those clads!!....There's a lot out there for sure!!........

Okay folks, (check my fist post at the top) I tumbled them coins for about an hour so you can see before and after. They could've used another hour in the tumbler.
Check out the ate up pennies, I call it junk money...they don't make em like they used too. You'll find pennies minted after 1882 ate like this
