Detector(s) used
Minelab explorer xs
So ill start off by saying i havent posted in awhile due to finishing up the academy to be a certified corrections officer(i passed it :D) anyways i bought a new used machine, a minelab explorer xs it was a big jump from a garret ace 250 but i am finally getting the hang of it and i really like it. On to the story so i went to a yard in the town of culpeper which i had already acquired permission for and man it paid off over 30 bullets alot of drip lead, a 1944 walking libert half, a 1944 silver quarter and an ilegible whaet penny. Also there were some iron buckles a peice of shell fragment, and the the thre buttons, i have to resort to using a camera phones so the pics suck but one is an eagle I cuff smashed but alot of gilt and then my first ever coat size eagle R button perfect but no gilt and civillian button or something, also something that i thought was funny but i probably shouldnt keep is a one-hitter for smoking some type pf green plant.....sorry about the pic quality but you had better believe i am going back to find more. P.s. the enfield with the wooden plug is a 57 base also/

Congrats on your new move to a Minelab......I see its paying off! WTG
 
Sweet hunt. I have heard of some people using that green stuff to become one with the earth to enhance their detecting abilities :icon_jokercolor: Will you be working at a prison? Be careful whatever you do. There are some real bad people out there. Good luck.
 
Yeah i really like the minelab i didnt pay but 225 for it so i guess i cant complain

Definitely! Remember, familiarity breeds contempt, and most of the folks you'll be dealing with are very contemptuous of Law Enforcement! Regards, Richard
