<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3917003, member: 106826&quot;]For what it&#039;s worth, I bought a metal detector from Radio Shack when I was a kid with tip money from my paper routes.&nbsp; Around $50.&nbsp; I used that detector for a couple of years and it surely paid for itself with the finds I made (silver coins, silver spoons, gold rings and jewelry).&nbsp;&nbsp; A few years back, I was hanging out with my kids and their cousins when they became bored.&nbsp; I knew there was a Radio Shack just 5 minutes away, so I drove there and picked up another detector for around $60.&nbsp; They hunted the yard for a bit but they didn&#039;t want to dig the spots where the discriminator said &#039;foil&#039; or &#039;iron&#039;.&nbsp; I told them to dig anyway as I recalled back in the day, any sound was worthy of a dig (even if it was just to remove garbage).&nbsp; I took the detector to demonstrate and within a couple minutes, I got the &#039;foil&#039; message.&nbsp; So I dug.&nbsp; Net for my effort: 1876 IHC in fine condition (second inexpensive metal detector paid for).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
