Fellow Disabled Treasure Hunters, I’ve been Swingin’ and Pingin’ with my Ace 250 from the comfort of my manual wheelchair since June. It’s been a lot of fun!
I roll backwards to get better coil-on-the-grass time. Extend the poll to it’s max, so it is as far away from the metal footrests as possible. I don’t cover as much acreage as I did in my previous life, but that makes each find that much sweeter.
I haven't scored any silver or rare coins, but I found 2 Wheaties from the 40s.
Total count is...
42 Cents
11 Nickels
16 Dimes
24 Quarters!
A small 1.9 gram gold woman’s ring (no “K” or number inside)
A dog’s tag. I called the owner to see if they needed it and they could just come & get it. But she said that it's replaced already and was Amazed that anyone would bother to go through any trouble for something that was not theirs! She thanked me and that gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling.
Anyway, as a few of our other members will also tell you, it it can be done from a wheelchair.
