<p>[QUOTE="Eskychess, post: 147636, member: 4692"]Metal Detecting is a lot of fun. I inherited my grandfather's metal detector which wasn't much of a unit - but I did find coins. A lot of pennies... few nickels and dimes and every now and then a quarter. I must say though - there is a stigma to it. People see you digging up lawn and they freak out! In order to be successful at metal detecting you have to go where LOTS of people have been. A lot of times that's schools and sporting fields. Beaches are great because what you dig up isn't as personal as that chunk of lawn turf. The one thing that keeps me though from metal detecting and this is the honest truth - is that I really can't stand corroded coins. I would just hate to find a 1797 half cent and then see all the thrill be taken away by the ugly bubbles of corrosion! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> hehehe</p><p><br /></p><p>Esky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
