Update on my treasure hunting...

Got my metal detector, on Friday.

This afternoon I trained myself in it's use, and did a few "scans" around the doors of my landlord's shop he has in the backyard.

Found 50 cents.

Too cold today to go to the beach, (52, windy and rainy,) but after July 4th, and the couple city festivals I'll be going down to the beaches and parks available.

3. I don't do this for everyone.

But, here are two secret spots.
Larger, grassy roadway triangles. And grass boulevards.
Good luck.

4. Please post a photo when you find a Saxon coin.

The Detectorists are still looking.

5. school bus stops

and the right of ways around schools (the grassy strips between the road and the sidewalk). They're public property and are detectable.

Age of money you found??

7. Recent.

I don't think I'll find many old coins, if any.

6. Neat! Enjoy! I've always enjoyed...I had an old homestead where my great grandparents had an ...

country store (1920s) so it was nice to detect there knowing the history of the place (no one else would ever know either, the buildings etc. are long gone)...I would find the old style quarters and dimes (with the higher silver content, making the dimes/quarters worth roughly 10 times the face value)...

Good luck and have fun!! Let us all know how you do!

8. Places where motorists throw change into toll road baskets (unmanned ones) if you have access

any coast of Florida after a large storm...especially Keys and Treasure Coast.

9. lol..been there...

It is fun as hell though...

Bought a nice metal detector about 5 years ago... I live on a an acre and half out in the boonies.

First hole we dug - Twoonie.
2nd hole we dug - Twoonie
3rd hole we dug -Loonie.

I thought, well this is easy. Keep this up and and I can retire in a few years, lol.

Let's just say the holes dried up quickly after that (Curse the person who created the Aluminum pop-can tab - they ping just like gold...)

Best thing we found on our property was an old iron...one of those steel jobbies you heat up in the fire before using...

Lots of fun though. Each "ping" gets your heart racing...
