OK inaugural hunt, found a little park in durhamville NY (old canal town) and normally I don't sweat whether its been hunted before. This place was clean!!!! No signalsfor first hour! I had detected in all metal mode and nothing, I got to the middle of park and got a faint 66 repeatable ground was soaked air was 41degrees I dug out sweet skeleton key rescanned and off corner of hole was barber I was stoked. The it went totally silent for next hr mabee 1 pull tab picked up lead shot again 10 inc under huge rock now knee pads flooded and freezing headed back toward entrance at the gate got a nice faint repeatable 92 at 8 inch two Washington's nice ..hit local pub and grub and called it. When I tell you I litterally dug 12 holes in 4hrs I'm not kidding and I dig everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to take your time and find what others missed! And did they miss some good stuff!

Very nice finds. A skeleton key is still on my bucket list. Good show.

Nice saves. That key was saving that Barber just for you!

I've thought of hitting a canal town before but never had. Glad to see they're producing. Congrats on the quarters - usually they're the first items to go.

Ah, that skeleton key.....nice! I've been detecting for 24 yrs.....no skeleton key. As for other keys? Found many, around 200 of them.....car, house, and padlock keys. About 90% of them are brass.....the rest aluminum. I should take them to the scrap yard and get a few bucks for them.

Minimal targets can make for a boring hunt sometimes but with finds like those, I'd say it was worth it!
