Thread: Metal Detecting

  1. #1

    Metal Detecting

    Its been a busy year so I haven't had the time to detect as much as I'd like to but I did find a silver ring my very first day out this spring and just last week found a men's silver figaro link 22" chain.

    There is a new waterproof pin pointer that came out earlier this year that I'll probably wait until next spring to buy, but it looks awesome:



    So, anyone else enjoy digging for buried treasure?

    So far, I've only gone out a couple of times (late last year, dried up lake bed). Mostly found fishing sinkers and beer cans. But it was a lot of fun, and at this point fishing sinkers were what I was looking for anyway. Partially to get some of my own sinkers back, but also because I melt them down to cast bullets.

    I'll definitely go again more often, and hopefully upgrade my equipment a little.

    My son bought a really cheap one several years ago, that found a few rusty nails out in my Mom's yard, but that was it.

    OMG, Krys - This post just reminded me of a Netflix series I binge-watched recently...

    It's called The Detectorists - It's a cute and funny program about 2 friends who are "professional" metal detectors - They like to refer to themselves as "Detectorists," and they quickly correct people who call them metal detectors by saying that the "detectors" are the instruments they use - They actually belong to a club that consists of a motley bunch of peeps who are quirky and downright hilarious.

    The droll, British humor is quite charming, and (if I recall correctly) there's no profanity, sex or nudity.

    Check it out - I think you'll enjoy it.
