Well, the first real day of using a metal detector (Pioneer 505) yielded an unexpected bounty.

I took it easy and started in a volley ball court by the beach, hit a signal and dug up this truck...LOL :headbang:

So, if anyone in the Melbourne FL area would like to teach and old dog some new tricks, I would greatly appreciate it.

Welcome aboard. I lived in Melbourne for 10 years. Sadly I moved away in '89. I really miss that place. Good luck down there and I look forward to seeing all your future finds.
