Speaking from experience, don't do it on the garbage disposal side! lol. I dropped a penny in there and it jammed the disposal. Took me 2 hours to dismantle it and remove the penny. Or you could replace it and lose your entire bounty : D

Use your wife's pasta strainer when she's not home ; )

Nice work on the clad!

Awesome start to the 2016 season, I agree that it is a hobby that pays for itself, as long as you don't mind clad hunts or you know where to sell your relics and other finds. My problem is I find it hard to sell what I dig. Maybe after my house and yard looks like a recycling center I may have to make a decision.

Oh by the way I rather spend a Dollar at a yard sale or dollar store that hear the old lady see me use her strainer or colander. Lord knows it would be mine from then on and then she'd have an excuse to go buy another one. I try to stay under the radar when I detect and when I am at home around her.

Great amount of clad I go to the arboretum here in Ann Arbor MI I could go to the main area and have and find 3 to 4 coins per foot or so I get tired of digging I usually want silver to much digging its a non stop I do like clad but not as bad as silver

I paid for and Ace 250, an AT Pro and a Whites Spectra V3i in 2 years. I spent a total of $2099 including my pro pointer and 5x8 coil for my ATP

Yes detecting can pay for the equipment but I have also spent a lot on gas...lol For me it's the thrill of the hunt that counts.

I'm with you Loco I want to keep all my precious treasures and I think they feel the same way. LOL either way I can still see grass in my yard so I'm still in control. Right?
