Well I was going to go to one of the parks today, but I have a crap load of house work that needs to be done.... So I figured I would "clean" the backyard with my metal detector..... ;D Didn't do too bad, nothing special tho. Heres what I found:
A water spicket, a piece of pipe, quite a few nails, a dog leash clip, a large wing nut, some bolt thing, 2 dimes 89 and 86, 4 or so pennies and an 81 nickle. and a door hanging rack, oh yes, this rock type thing that sets off the detector, Ill have to clean it and post a pic in the Rock section. and a couple pull tabs. Not too shabby for the back yard... Now I have heat stroke and a sore neck.. I don't know how all of you do this, metal detecting is killing my body. I suppose it gets easier over time.

Turns out that one of the pennies that I found is my FIRST WHEATIE! :headbang: it was so corroded I couldnt tell what it was, I cleaned it up some, cant really tell the date 1942 I think definetely a 19_2 haha think its a 4! Cant believe I found that in my backyard.

How do we do it? Well, one find at a time of course! You'll need to go out in the early morning or late evening in order to survive. I can't take the heat anymore so I start at 6 in the morning when it's cool during the summer. Good luck and enjoy!
 

At least you got to escape the work and get some exercise. And yes it gets easier the more you do it :thumbsup:
 

Its fun no matter where you detect! Have a great day!
 

If anyone asks at least you can say i cleaned up the back yard!!!! HH Chug!!!
