Amazon Forum Fav 👍

Put a handle on it and it would be a good rake. Must have made a big signal!

You can now offically check off " rake" on your bucket list... Keep at it and the real treasure will present itself.

Welcome to the forum !

A good way to get started in this hobby is to make a list of everyone you know - relatives, friends, co-workers, etc.
Ask them how olds your house - if they tell you their house is 75 yrs. old or older - hunt it !
Hunting these older houses will increase your odds of making some great finds - like Silver Coins.
Fill your holes - take all your trash - leave the yard cleaner than when you got there and you'll be welcomed back.

Good Hunting !

Yea- it's too funny. Just down the trail from my house. I thought it may have been something nicer. It pinged up pretty high, no iron sounds. Again, it's my first "sport". all good!

I don't get it. What do you mean 'sport'?

Nice rake! My elderly neighbor would definitely put a handle on it. He redid a shovel we found that we were going to trash.

It's a term I noticed in the Garrett's catalog. I guess it means "amature, not spending $5000 on a detector and not getting paid to detect"? Unlike say an EOD technician clearing a minefield.

Always nice to find a useful item, congrats and welcome to Tnet!

Perfect, I would have been over the moon digging that, I need one to use to rake out weeds from fishing swims & I'm not paying £30 to chop it up & throw it in the river back-to-back with another one costing £30!

Welcome to the forum
Well done-A heck of a lot better than a old soda can.
First dig-Repurposed into a useful tool for toolbox of equipment that one might use.

Best of luck on your next dig "Old Sport", and turning this new hobby into a life long passion.
