Well, today seems to be going in the same fashion as most of my treasure hunting days since I got my metal detector. I found a battery terminal off a car battery, two rusty nails, a foil lined ketchup packet, a blob of melted lead, and a piece of copper pipe about 3 feet long. I'm still unbelievably impressed with my detector's ability to tell the truth. That in itself is worth digging up all the useless stuff. It has built supreme confidence in the Garrett Ace 250. I've got many better places to search, but I'm still waiting on my buddy Kisatchie to get his metal detector delivered... shouldn't be long now. Good luck to everyone else.

Sounds like a good day to me...I made $72 last year off of scrap lead, copper and brass I dug out of the ground. You'll note it's even listed in my "2007 stuff I found in the woods list." All treasure is not gold and I'd rather dig "nothing" than not dig at all.

Need to get out to some spots that you know will produce coins. Im sure you are still a bit shy about detecting in front of people,believe me this will pass. If you dont want to hunt around playgrounds,whice are always full of good stuff,get out to a soccer field. Soccer fields always produce plenty of coins and a lot of other interesting items,including jewlery. I think the soccer moms like to impress one another by wearing jewlery then in the excitement of the game they fling off rings and bracelets as well as losing earrings ect...try right around the sidelines at midfield where they put their lawnchairs as well as around the parking areas and the snackstand,just dont dig foil signals around the snackstand,it is everywhere. Once you start finding easy coins regularly then you will have more confidence and be able to face the tougher sites with greater success,HH...Shoot
