Hello hello, people!
Today i was out with my go-find on an island close to where i live which has been inhabited for the past 5000 years, hoping to find some treasure!
Took it for a spin on a salt water beach and it did not go *pooff* when i had the coil under water, which was good.
Searched in areas in the sand that looked like they would be gathering places for objects. I didn't find anything other than a bottle cap, tube and different garbage.
Two of the signals i had seemed to be strong but i did not find anything. I dont have a search probe, so it might be why, or it might have been false signals.
I lost faith in the beach, and headed twoards a place close by where i know there was a farmhouse around the 1700's. I belive that during the 1800's the farm was moved to a different location where it still is today, but anyhow.
The location is covered with white rocks and i was not sure if i was going to find anything because of it. It's still a beautiful closed in location nonetheless. Great for a rookie hunter that wants some privacy.
Here are some photo's of the place for those of you who are intrested:
There's also a cave right next to the spot which is pretty neat:
The island was occupied by the germans during ww2 and they had as much as 5000 troops stationed on it (it's a fairly small island with aprox 120 inhabitants present day)
The site was covered with bullet casings and junk metal and the white rocks made it hard to get any signals. Every time i got good strong signals it was nothing other than concrete that was 2 inches under the dirt.
I was close to giving up when i got a steady signal which was fearly weak and similar to the signal i got on the bullet casings, but i decided to dig after all.
I spent about 10 digging after something that seemed to be invisible when i finally found a german 1 Reichspfennig coin from 1940! Might not be the greatest find? but it sure was a great feeling finding it!
After digging the coin up i did not want to stop detecting, but i got hit with bad weather and had to head back.
Bought the detector just last week as it is something i have always wanted to try and i needed something to cheer me up after a rough period. It did just that.
Can't wait to get back to the same spot tomorrow, even though it gave me a hard time.
Sorry for the long post, but consider this my introduction to Treasurenet!
Have a nice day and greetings from Norway!
