First finds EVER!!!

WIDirtFishing · May 13, 2010

First time metal detecting EVER! So went to a Boy Scout camp metal detecting today. Only hit one tiny spot cause I had bout an hour or so to burn (this place is huge). Anywho, first signal I got was strong. Figured it was nothing, but my heart was pounding! Turned out to be a square head nail. Not gold or silver, but I was excited :laughing7:

All in all, I pulled 2 whole nails, 3 pieces of nails, but a SWEET weighted Throwing Knife. I was excited about that lol Thanks for Lookin guys

Nice Knife,

That is a just the start. Boy scout camps are great places to search.

Wow, boy scouts in your area are hard core. The kids around here still wear yellow neck kercheifs.

Great find.

It was on dry land. Water is still a bit chilly. First time out and forgot the manual so I know the ground balance and tuning was messed up, but it did its job. I'm going again on Saturday

I was off in a wooded section when I found the knife. I didn't realize it when I found it, but i was about 50 behind where they practice throwing knives, tomahawks, one year I remember a staffer bring some throwing stars too for fun. I use to go to the camp.

Next time I'll remember the manual and maybe give the river down there a shot. Thanks for lookin guys

Square nails means there was something there before 1900.

After I found the Nail I checked out the area a little more and didn't find anything. i'm going to head back there on Saturday and recheck it. It was on a deer path in the woods. Could tell it was cause of the droppings and the skinny little trail, but it looked like it could've been an old path to somewhere also. I'll check it out for sure. Thanks for the info
