Guys in the know. Heck, I'm still tryin' to pull stuff out of the 'change' but these guys have 'gone to ground'.........

 

Right! Cause you don't just always find coins! Lol that's a nice one. How much did you spend? If you don't mind me asking. Cause I know they can get expensive.

 

I have been metal detecting for 8 years.. I started with a mid-level detector that cost me about $500.00
I did so well I finally got a top of the line detector that cost me $2500.00

A good starter detector I recommend is the Garrett Ace 400
Go to Kellyco.com and see the Detector there!

 

Oh dear........Paddy's already here.........

 

It depends where you live.. State, City
They have different rules and regulations.
I live in NYC so I detect at City Beaches and local parks where permitted -

 

I usr two metal coat hangers its a lot cheaper....... don't believe me google it metal detector using coat hangers

 

Im in Michigan! Very old towns. A lot if beaches and parks. And water... I hope I get one for the right price. So I can go searching.

 

Hahaha sounds great.

 

Google it.... you can use 2 metal coat hangers

 

You save it all!

 

@Shrews1994 Not really
Look at the great prices for these really good machines!

 

I will try it.

 

Well I was looking for a a 50 to 75 dollar one. Lol. .....

 

I've never seen so many rare mint errors lined up like that EVEEeeeRrrrr !!

 

Two coat hangers are free with two shirt laundryed .... plus your looking pretty dapper out there in the field......
Paddy what propper attire for metal detecting?
Is it a come as you are? Or semi formal?
I'm sure that most nudest don't do it.... no pockets to put stuff in ya find.
Plus any body piercing would definitely set the machine beeping...

 

True.. And do not use steel toe boots!
Here is my attire.. Vests, gloves and lots of pouches and pockets!

I've got a bounty hunter titanium model, was about 300. Does a decent job. Make sure u get a pinpointer, to narrow ur search once u dig the hole.
