<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ron Ferguson, post: 69734, member: 3946&quot;]My best detecting trip was -</p><p>We Went to San Diego, across from The Del Coranado Hotel. Years ago they dredged the channel for larger ships and everything was pumped on shore. We found lots of boat parts and many naval ordanace. some were still live. we removed the powder and made bells from them. </p><p>I&#039;ve detcted Antitum Battle field - Private farms - found large 1 cent pieces, mini balls. and a merrit badge for attendance, harness and rifel parts.</p><p>Got bored detecting at the beaches, yes I found lots of coins some very old, watches, rings and some jewlry. I&#039;ve detected old gold minning camps. Found old hand drills Levy buttons, coins, an a nasty wasp nest that sent me running and screaming with 86 stingers all over my body.</p><p>I&#039;ve shot for gold nuggets in CA gold country, and found a few.</p><p>I loaned my friend my underwater hand held when he went to Isreal. at Masada he found many coins and spear heads and old Roman stuff at the Roman encampment by hiding it in a back pack and sitting on the ground. He just turned it on inside the pack and used it that way. Then he mailed his finds home as souviners. </p><p>I use an old 1970 Whites hip mounted detector. I love it and will not up grade. I don&#039;t want to know what is there, a surprize is more than half the fun.</p><p>There is more than coins and jewlery out there.</p><p>Next winter I&#039;m going to a old camp in the desert where the Indians had the pioneers fooled and had winch set up to winch their wagons up a clift. Of course the Indians owned the winch and charged them. A large wagon train took days to move so they camped below and above waiting for the others. sound like a good place to me for some interesting finds.</p><p>Good Lord - I&#039;m babbling like a red headed grand daughter (mine), but you asked a question dear to my heart. I&#039;ve had many many hours of fun metal dectecting and hope to continue as long as I can walk.</p><p>Ron F.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
