The Legend is on fire!

[TerryEastTexas]

Since I bought the Legend on Nov. 17th. It has been on fire and I'm happy. An eagle cuff button, 1935 gold class ring, Cracker Jack token and a carbine sling buckle.

I feel like putting my legend on fire. Failed to get a single ring of any metal with it since i bought it this summer. No jewelry at all. Ready to sell it next year for manticore.

I have had great success with mine and gotten good depth. Unfortunately an old park here was built in the late 50s early 60's and anything silver was perhaps an inch or two deep when detecting began in earnest. With today's detectors zincs are easy to leave behind and all the parks are littered with them which tells you how many detectors have been over them. The hobby in this neck of the woods is experiencing it's dying quivers.

The Legend will, like most detectors find rings. I know personally. They coil has to pass over it to find it.

i have no doubt at all erjte that it will hit rings , the problem is my sites are totally crap. i get thrown off even public fields for detecting , it's illegal in a sense to really detect any public place here.
The police have come out to me once or twice for detecting PUBLIC LAND because someone phoned them, . That leaves farmland which is out of bounds too. They won't permit in many cases. Which leaves me with no where to detect that is
any good locally. I have been attacked accosted and altercated for detecting even footpaths. I basically go into the sticks and sweep where no one can see me now. The amount of people that have abused
me while out detecting is over a dozen over the last few years. I am filmed and then they upload me all over the net. Not that i care because i am MASKED now most of the time.

I share his pain , schools have been made inaccessible here with the recent shootings around the country. A few high schools have relatively open campus' but middle and elementary all appear like medium security prisons now. I don't see much in elementary schools but middle schools have produced well for me. Those kids are old enough to be vain and wear jewelry but too young/immature to really be responsible for it which I like! Public parks are still available but even the clad doesn't get recharged with new drops since no one carries coins anymore.

Detecting has changed over the years for a lot of reasons, one that I believe was a negative impact was the televised reality shows that show hunters with questionable skills promoting our hobby. They made it look like all a person had to do was buy a detector and immediately find a $20.00 gold piece or confederate belt buckle or treasure hoard with little effort or skill. I have detected for at least 4o years and I have never found either. I do find a lot of rings, but I am hunting beaches with high tourist travel hence more lost jewelry. And my hunting skills are trained for that type target. Not sure of your location but, if possible, hunt local swimming areas. More jewelry lost there than on land. I hunted years before I found rings except for locating for someone. I live in Arkansas, and our antiquity laws were horrible. If by their law you dropped a coin on state property, you were actually breaking the law to pick it back up! In the last few years, they have actually opened 9 state park swimming beaches between the days after Labor Day to the day before Memorial Day with a permit. At least a start. Sorry to hear of your problems hunting, I think the public thinks we are somehow raping the land when we hunt or gaining vast wealth at what we do and they're jealous. If you ever get around my neck of the woods let me know and I'll find you somewhere to wear out a coil!

I live in a slum dog area , highly industrialised years ago with nothing but coal mines. Thugs roam the streets all around me. CCTV Cameras on the parks. No where to detect worth while within 50- 60 miles I live in damp freezing conditions too. Things are bad for me.
All i have is metal detecting now. Trapped. A life full of mistakes. Paying for sins almost!

I don't mean to be disrespectful but what has ya'lls argument to do with my finds.......

 

[Ronstar]

Cuz you’re finding stuff and they are not….

 

[casull454]

Outstanding Terry. I am now a Legend fanboy.

 

[MuddyMo]

Sorry Terry, nice finds. I thought I said that but maybe on another thread. I'm liking my Legend even though it's still in 1.04..

Some things are worth more than some extra finds lol
Depends what you do the hobby for
