I have not found anything of interest. Lots of scraps of metal from various things but nothing of value yet. Still looking though and it is alot of fun

It way more complicated than just that. It has to do with ground elements and depth of metal and ferrous verses non-ferrous metals and sensetivity as well as false readings. It does have a guage but if it's not properly set for the field of use the guage is useless. It will take...

LOL, I knew you knew who I was! I do that sort of thing all the time Don't worry about it
I will let you know. My DH use to use one all the time. I thought it would be kinda cool to poke around here and see what I could find.
I just bought a low end one. If I like it I will invest...
Metal Detector arrived today so tomorrow with any luck the weather will be fit to try it out! We will see what happens I read the instructions, BOY there is alot to learn about how to use this thing!
The metal detector shipps tomorrow via UPS so with luck, I'll have it on Wednesady Can't wait to get it and play on the property a bit. I truly don't expect to find anything as amazing as what my girls found for me, lol, but you never know! I'll have fun looking anyhow

The house I live in was built in the 70's but there was an old homeplace here before that. I am VERY tempted to go get a metal detector and fiddle around with it. I know that the pastures around my place were old farm fields years ago and that shar croppers farmed them. I also know that a...

There is no halmark in it. Only the 14K mark inside the band. I intend on having a formal written apraisal for insurance as soon as I can justify spending the extra cabbage to have it on paper. In the meanwhile I will just wear it and enjoy it
