Greetings,
I'm an Italian detectorist. A couple of months ago I bought a White's Matrix
M6 from an Italian dialer. I started to use it applying what I had seen in your
videos available on your site. I started to find some coins and some trash too
(pull tabs and so on). I love this machine: always precise regarding pinpoint
and lcd screen. Just a week ago I decided to scan a little park close to my
home. After a few sweeps I saw a clear signal of a quarter on the lcd. Usually
when I find coins the value and the symbols bounce a little due to the
difference between american and european coins. But this time the signal and
the symbol were fixed and steady. Pinpoint, about 4 inches, dug out...and WOW:
a real nice 1932 quarter. I kept on sweeping in the area and after a while BAM!
another fix & steady signal: 5C! Dug out and I found 1943 five cent. At the end
of the morning the result was:
1932 quarter
another quarter (can't read the year)
1943 five cents
1930 and 1923 dime
a Winchester 45 bullet
I don't know if they have a value or not, but they were IN ITALY!!! I live in
Grosseto (about 80 miles south of Florence) and after a search I found that
during WWII, the park I visited was an american camp (mess hall, rest room and
so on). It's so curious that a machine made in USA, arrived in Italy, could have
found another piece of the SA.
I just wanted to share this feeling with you.
Happy hunting
Alessandro
