    the nerve...

    I was detecting at the park today and some 10 year old tried to tell me that it was illegal to detect at the park and that there was some guy who didn't like people messing up his park, I told her that it is a public park and that I had been going there for 30 years (this is the first year...

    I found a video

    on how to build a metal detector using a calculator, a cd, a dvd, a 9 volt battery, ear phones, glue and tape, I might try making one some day, I don't know how to post a link but I just typed in "how to turn a calculator into a metal detector" it is kind of interesting.

    it is cold and wet ouside...

    but I have still been going and detecting across the street, so far I have found over a dollar in dimes and pennies in one spot, I was kind of surprised, I found them in the backyard away from the house, I would expect coins to be along the sidewalk where people walk.

    how do you know....

    when digging at a park or an old home or something where the burried wires are? Do you have to have the people come out and mark where the lines are each time or can you tell by the beep?

    kind of ironic

    I used my shovel and dug down to find.....a shovel, or at least part of one, I think it the kind that people used to shovel the ashes out of wood stoves, this is the only photo I have right now.

    My little metal detector

    I have been working the yard across the street for a few weeks now and when I was over there my daughters friends mom said that if they get sticks they would have a campfire, I told them that there were a lot of sticks in the yard I was working in, they came over and started picking up the...

    yet another question

    when I was looking around in the woods I noticed what looks like a dried up river bed that went from the river to a hill with a grate on the side that I am guessing the water went through, in front of the grate was a pile of big rocks, would that be a place worth checking out? I will try to...

    kind of a confusing question

    By the river there is an area where people can pay to park their campers, I know the area is public property but since the people pay to use it is it like their little area? can they tell me not to detect there?

    another question

    sometimes I get a beep that is faint but makes the needle jump to 9 or 10, should I bother with those? Are they just faint cause they are farther down than my detector reaches?

    ring changed color

    a while back the sterling silver ring I found turned to a gold color for a few hours, I took a photo of it when it was silver and after it had turned to the gold color, look at the photos, am I wrong or did it change colors? This is not a trick, it is the same ring and I did'nt do anything to it.
