How long have you been detecting?

Heres all the stuff I found thats not junk. I did find a 1973 Mexico 5 centavos. Been out 4 times so far. Discovery 2200.

 

Here some finds from a luch hour hunt a few weeks ago.
nothing real good yet, all clad so far.

 

Oh a long time, actually I started yesterday haha. But I think I'm in a great area for it, so hopefully I'll find more.

BTW, nice finds noost and viper

 

Very cool thread. I have been wanting to get into metal detecting for many years.

 

I really have to take some pictures.

 

Get to it, I want to see!

I know nothing about metal detectors, but you guys are piquing my interest. I live in an old farmhouse built in the 1870s; I'm thinking it might be fun to look around!

Which models do you use or recommend? Which features are most useful?

And do, please, post more pics!

Here is the $3 I found today. More than I have found in all my other hunts combined. Took about 4 hrs.

 

Wow not bad at all Noost. All I found was a penny today

I went to a farmhouse built in the 1870s and guess what? They decided to bulldoze the property today. The whole place is a complete waste. I really wanted to detect around the outhouse

Doverboy, I bought mine at walmart a few years ago for around 70$, and it works just fine for me!

Thats actually good becasue it will turn up the ground and the older stuff that was deeper will now be up on top

http://forums.kinzlicoils.com/index/ a good place to learn about metal detecting

 

After five minutes of the whole area beeping "coins" and finding them to be piping, I got really discouraged and left. Plus cars were driving by slowly to see what I was doing, so I got uncomfortable. I need a secluded place :goof:

 

Metal detecting is not illegal, just make sure you get permission first. Also, you can discriminate out certain things on most detectors. On mine, i automaticly cancel out iron. If I get more false signals, I cancel those out as well or just ingnore signals that don't repeat the same. You may find less, but it should be less irritating. It does take time to get used to your detector.

 

here are my finds




this is over a span of about a year and this isnt all of my stuff ive found

 

Some finds over the years.

Meteorite Men: http://www.meteoritemen.com/

They built truck sized detectors and scan fields for space rocks.

BTW, this has nothing to do with The Meteor Man: www.imdb.com/title/tt0107563/
