and the way my luck‘s been going this was the best trip I’ve had in a long time. I found something worth finding!!!

I got a buffalo nickel and I got a three ring or that I think they might’ve made it into a game piece but those are true treasures right there and I’ve learned that metal detecting will humble you it will reward you but it will humble you too!! IMG_0113.jpg IMG_0112.jpg IMG_0111.jpg IMG_0114.jpg

My whole problem is if somebody knocked on my door unexpected and asked me if he could get off my yard and look at thim like he was nuts. I don’t like anybody knocking on my door unexpected so therefore I can’t do it because I hate me lmfao

Then imagine they are finding all these old silver coins and maybe a ring or two now the Dude is robbing you...and for people who have no idea what metal detecting is so you say well I want to dig some holes in your yard and take the silver coins or whatever else I find and by the way can I riffle through your garage before I leave lol I know its a good way to find stuff its hard to wrap my square head around it.

Ive read many stories where someone finds a hoard or some gold coins and the court will let them keep it. Imagine someone knocks on your door you let them detect he digs a bunch of holes and now hes walking off with a cache drops a duece and drives away. I dont think I would give a permission and I dont ask Just me not saying anything against it just not for me
