Anyone try metal detecting?

[donf]

I did a while back and was finding 1900 coins, mercury dimes, standing liberty coins. Haven't done it for a while, but thinking of killing some time.

Maybe you should point your detector at a radio to see if you can find any good music.

Very good. Very good. Indeed. :ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF:

I only use mine when my dad loses his keys "somewhere" in our 18 acre yard :ROTF:

You stereotyping me?

I'll be the one with the six-pack hanging off my belt buckle, throwing beer tabs on the beach in front of me, just so I can rediscover them with a metal detector.:ROTF::ROTF:

I used it to find my water cutout valve in my yard. I had to after one of my pipes burst and was washing down the side of my neighbor house for 4 hours. :ROTF:

Was the fuse intact?


We used to move those things around with 'hernia bars', though the ones I worked with came on a pallet and wasn't stored under the ground.:ROTF: :ROTF:

yeah, it was dropped by an A-10, but mised the target by a bit (impact area), so we had to go make it safe because the fuze was intact. But to tell you the truth, the worst part was digging down to the fucker...12 feet down nosed in....talk about back breaking work LOL.

Treasure hunting is cool really. I've got a few detectors, though I haven't used them for several years. I've found some cool stuff. nothing really valuble though. I've known a few people who found some nice rings(read $$$) on the beach, lots of old coins, and years back, what was left of a stash of Spanish gold coins. It can be a pretty cool hobby if you have decent places to hunt and can dodge the "I'm too cool for that" crew.
