Anyone have any information on the old Perryville Fairground in what now is Port Royal, PA? The fairgrounds were there in the early to mid 1800's I believe. I remember seeing a rough drawing of a map of it in a book but cannot find it anywhere. Any information is much appreciated. Thank you!

I metal detected for half a hour and found 1959 D penny at a 1950s school. I am metal detecting again today maybe at a school that was made in about 1810 that is still around. Yes, 1810 not 1910. or maybe a school made in 1900. I was wondering how long does it take to find a wheat. I have metal...

Visiting some family in McPherson soon. I believe I read online that MDing is not permitted in McPherson parks. Where can I hunt nearby? Lindsborg or Salina parks okay to hunt? I can't seem to fnd anything online regarding these two cities. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Found this relic hunting today on land that has been in my family since early 1800s. I can't find anything on-line like it and was just wondering what war it was from? Year? Value? It's in GREAT condition. It's brass, slightly larger than a quarter, has "Made in England" on the back and has...

I've been interested in metal detecting for a very long time but I finally got around to getting into it. Thanks to my brother, who bought a detector and prompted me to get one.

Can a MD be used to find diamonds? David

So I went out for a second hunt this afternoon and had some more very minor success. I found another Quarter (clad 2000), and six pennies (various dates, including my FIRST WHEATIE 1944). It's crazy how deep those coins are (maybe 4–5 inches and only 12 years old) I also found a locket that...

What is the craziest or funniest thing anyone has ever told you while detecting? Once in chicago a kid (like 7 years old, i'm 13) said hey you aint gonna find nothin here. I just smiled and said sure. 15 min later I found a 14k gold earring!

Hi, I normally use a sturdy Bowie knife to dig my targets. I was wondering what everyone else used and if anyone had any suggestions.

I detected a 150 year old church the other day. I am a little new with the mxt. The old church only had the foundation left and all around the church were hot rocks everywhere. The mxt was just going crazy . I ground balanced on normal soil like i always do. Should i ground balance it on those...
