<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 5396568, member: 106826&quot;]When I was a kid, I pulled together my tip money from both of my paper routes to buy an inexpensive Radio Shack detector.&nbsp; Long story short, it paid for itself in short order (1970s and a silver boom helped).&nbsp; I always wanted to buy an expensive rig, but the more I found with my cheap detector, that feeling passed.&nbsp; Flash forward 30 years or so, I bought another Radio Shack special one day when the kids (we were at a party) were growing restless so I thought this might help pass the time.&nbsp; My advice to them was to ignore the discriminator feature...hear something...dig.&nbsp; But they wouldn&#039;t listen.&nbsp; After a couple hours, they were bored again and left the detector with me.&nbsp; I spent about 2 hours working an area where an old deck once stood.&nbsp; I found an 1867 Indian Head cent if Fine or better condition.&nbsp; Nicely toned.&nbsp; That cent went to the birthday boy (my nephew) and the kids re-engaged in the detecting.&nbsp; That day, that cent paid for my second inexpensive Radio Shack special.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
