<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 526868, member: 13650&quot;]I got my first detector for Christmas this year.&nbsp; It&#039;s a Bounty Hunter 505.&nbsp; I know it&#039;s not the best but after reading a lot about them, I felt it was more than adequate for me.&nbsp; It has pretty decent discrimination features.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; We finally had a warm up and all the snow melted in my area.&nbsp; So I took it out around my house for the first time last weekend. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; My house was built in 1899 and the yard hasn&#039;t been disturbed since.&nbsp; It was cloudy, 35 degrees out and windy.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I got a chance to do some digging.&nbsp; It found an old pop tab and I dug it for the fun of it just to see how hard it would be to find.&nbsp; It was the old pull off type.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Then I found a 2004 Iowa quarter, a few inches down right next to the sidewalk.&nbsp; Really black and in bad shape.&nbsp;&nbsp; About 20 ft north of that spot, I found a 1967 quarter buried a few inches down, next to the sidewalk also.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I skipped over a lot of pull tabs.&nbsp;&nbsp; Pulled some pieces of metal out just to get them out of the ground for next time.&nbsp; &nbsp; I didn&#039;t get a chance to check the very front portion of the yard.&nbsp; There&#039;s an old sunken sidewalk next to the road that nobody uses anymore because you can&#039;t park there.&nbsp; So I&#039;m sure it was probably a carriage drop off point for many years.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I&#039;ve got a lot of good places lined up to go this year.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just wish it would warm up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
