Had decided this past winter that I was going to get a metal detector in the spring.
Well spring is here so about a week ago I finally got one, decided on an ACE 250.
Tried it out briefly in my yard, but since my house is only a few years old, all I kept pulling up were rusty nails.
The first couple of days I only got a chance to try for an hour or so at a time at a couple of local parks, and then Sunday I finally got a chance to get out for a little longer (3 hours or so) so I tried the wood chips at one of the local schools. Not really expecting too much but figured it would be good practice while I am still learning the machine.
Between the couple of different parks and the school, I have now found 36 coins (5 quarters, 7 dimes, 4 nickels, and 21 pennies), but nothing old.
Now that I am getting used the machine, time to start exploring a bit more.
