I live outside of Austin TX and use an old Compass X-100 metal detector that I bought new 24 years ago. I have been hunting a few of the neighborhood parks in the area. Here are my finds, not counting pull tabs and the like, there is a little over $60.00 in change.[attachment 53254 MVC-001S.JPG] All of this came out of 3 parks and a high school. Time spent was a couple of hours a day over the last 2 weeks. I just bought a Whites Spectrum XLT and can't wait to start trying it out.
