But at least the yard is clean now....

[Shorty Buckshot]

Couple of weeks ago I bought an early 80's Garrett American S1 at a sale for $10.00. Works great and been having fun with it....I have found myself daydreamimg about finding things and I scan my yard almost every day now. I have been reading here alot and am looking for a Garrett Ace 250 before I venture out into the real world to detect ( in case anyone knows of one) and am pretty excited about my new hobby.

In my yard ( about 2 acres) I have found countless pull tabs, bottle caps, pieces of aluminum, an old toy car, a button, a flag mount and other assorted junk....I have also found a grand total of $2.84 in change....Never gonna get rich this way, but at least the yard is clean now. Can't wait to get an Ace 250 and see what I have missed...Happy hunting all...Shorty

Welcome to the treasure hunting world. Sounds like your off to a good start with the items that you've already found. I suggest that you venture out and find some school yards, churches, playgrounds, beaches, or even an old house. Good luck and post the goodies.

Hi Shorty and welcome! Be careful what ya wish for...

I decided to make a test garden, figured maybe 10 hours or so to make. (15' x 40'), Cleared the undergrowth and raked up 4" of pine needles (7 hours).I start detecting before planting targets...6 hours later, I'm only 25% done. I've got a 5 gal bucket half full of junk/trash.

Good luck hunting!
