Topics I've Started

I'm finally finding better stuff.

03 May 2013 - 05:40 AM

I wont even show you fellers all the clad I've gotten since my last post, it's just clad, it wont clean up, and the local stores wont even take it cause it's so boogered up. The crappy gold plated ring w/the fake stones, (it's my first ring) along with one of the kennedy halfs, a "74" was took out of one the empty lots for sale about a 10 min. walk from here earlier in the week on Mon. But the other half dollar (a "73"), the matchbox car, and the silver ring, (that weighs 5.1gm. and is stamped "925") was took 2 days ago at a Flat Rock city park, about a 5 min. drive from here. Then yesterday morning went to a different park nearby and in less than 30 min. found the "53" Rosey about 5 in. deep. I'd like to think I'm getting better at this but the truth is that I've just been havin a little spit of better luck than usual, probably? I do know that the park I got the silver ring from, is pounded regularly by other fellers with detectors, and it was in a high foot traffic area, realistically, someone else should have found it long before I came along, but they didn't, anyways, here's a picture.

How to metal-detect garbage or "Woo Hoo" I found some clad!

31 March 2013 - 04:11 AM

So I've sat most the winter watchin my F-75 collect dust, and it was drivin me crazy, so I got on GE and found a small field about 600yds. from my house.

It's part of the property owned by the trailer park where I live, it's walking distance.

It might look plain enough, but the amount of metallic garbage buried under that grass is UNBELIEVIBLE, after setting my machine to discriminate out as well as notching out everything but dimes and quarters, this is what I found!

 This stuff, I guess could be called the better quality junk.

These were the only coins I found around those old house foundations.

  Then I went over to my gf's neighborhood on the 29 th. and found this in a park that has a giant hill for sledding, but very little trash.

  And finally, all stuff I found in the desert when I was in AZ to visit some of you fellers back in 2011.

 Yesterday I went back to that park and dug up 15 more quarters, 12 or so more dimes, 2 more nickels, and about 30 or so more pennies, but I haven't got them cleaned up yet so I can take a picture, but i'll git to it soon, but that's it, enjoi!

New tent?

Now you can go camping, and then decide at the last minute to live there permanently, (we don't need no stinking building codes!)
