Whatever it takes to find the shiney!
Very cool. Time to put some new batteries in the detector. This will be fun, Thanks
You make me want to go treasure hunting! Wish I had a metal detector!
Get one and give it a shot. It's a great hobby for people who otherwise enjoy going for walks or hiking.
I would love it, but my physical limitations would make it difficult to dig for the treasure. I'll look forward to seeing what others find, though!
Here is a before pic.
I'll be going out later this week when the weather gets nice, and hopefully return with cool pictures of some buried treasure!
(I will later update this comment with my post link)
You don't keep it in the car at all times you mean?
no, not yet, lol! This is a new hobby for me. It's only been around my yard a few times with no luck yet, besides some roofing tacks and some nails...
I plan to go to the parks very soon.
It's the same as mine. What I find worked for me with it is turning it off and back on between soil types, going from dry to wet for example. It's shit for determining depth but it does find coinage and other pieces pretty well. The signal becomes weak if its a piece that's vertical but those are relatively rare. I took mine out today to the riverside and got a quarter and a bunch of garbage.
cool, thank you for the useful tips!
Damn i don't think if I order one it will be here in time... I'll have to see if above has one I can borrow.
They're rentable too, although not everywhere.
Please extend the deadline for another fortnight, signed @owenwat :-)
