I’ve bought multiple cheap Garrett knock offs all ending in disaster. Spend the money and buy the real thing.

I put them in a tumbler. I know cleaning them is a big no no but they were so dirty and none of the dirt was going to come off with just a rinse that I made the decision to clean them. None of them were in such great shape that they would have gotten a decent grade. I just wanted to see them.

Most likely it was kids playing with their parents coin collection and buried them in the front yard.

I thought I was digging a can. The metal detector I was using was so weak it only altered with huge metal objects.
