Haha. I have just gotten into metal detecting. Messed around with them in the past, we use them at work from time to time... but never gotten into the hobby at all. Did some research, watched videos, etc... decided on the Fisher F44 for a starting unit that fit my budget. Received it this afternoon and wanted to test it out in my own yard. So, I set out and picked up hits all over (10's to 30's some higher, some lower). I feel like my house was probably built on a trash dump.
Anyway, I finally get a signal I want to really investigate. Dig, then use my portable Pro-Pointer. Dig some more, and repeat. Ended up about 6 inches down and found this little guy:
It must have been placed there right before I moved into the house because it was manufactured in 2007 (in Malaysia). It's from the "Ultra Rage" series (http://hotwheels.wikia.com/wiki/Ultra_Rage).
So... my first find is roughly 10 years old. Haha. I found some more metal later on before it got cold out (an extremely old nail, a screw, some tin foil, a can, etc). Going to need to find an area that isn't apparently a trash heap.
