[QUOTE="lawdogct, post: 44013, member: 1476"]No problem. Good luck on the jackpot ;) I'd still check with a local detector shop, even though it may be a bit more to rent. Trust me it will be worth it. A high end detector can pin-point a mercury dime 10 inches in the ground while ignoring all the nails and tin foil. I can't say for sure, but I'd imagine the home depot model is more for finding where you dropped your keys (surface) or where your septic tank is burried in your back yard. Great finds can be had with a low end detector, but then your relying more on luck than science. One other hint and this ones my personal view. DIG EVERYTHING. Some say only go for the "good hits", and digging everything is tiring. But the more you dig, the more you will know what to listen for, and sometimes, your treasure will be inside the trash, like your coffe can of gold ;)[/QUOTE]
