ok second time posting but thought this is where i should start so
hi, long time reader, first time poster here
i had a 3300 i bought new the day radio shack put em on the shelf
had it for about 6 months, and really didn't find too much interesting,and thought it was too
complicated to figure out
it sat in the corner collecting dust and a friend wanted it and offered me
300 bucks for it.. (i paid like 377.00 with the best batteries)
last week i got an old mercury outboard 4 hp for free
(unknown if ran good or not but did start)
so i posted it on craigsist for sale or trade for a decent metal detector
a day later i got a call, from a guy who said he had an older
bounty hunter (teasure tracker IV)
if i was interested he would give it up and 50.00 for the motor
so long story short he liked the motor, i liked the metal detector and off and
running we both were with our goodies
i have found more stuff in the first week with it than the entire time
of having my previous one
-------------------------------------------------
-i went out friday afternoon to a local recreation area, was sweeping along ,and found
a few newer coins, and a large piece of steel that was welding to something else long ago-
on my last find ,when i stood up, about 100 yards behind me on another hill was someone else metal detecting, of all the places i have been i have never seen another person detecting aside from the beaches
so the next day,saturday morning i went back to the spot i saw them at
only a little closer to the old stone walls that surround the location.. and i found a very very old tootsietoy co logging truck.cab, been there since new probly
the location dates back to the early 1800's and also was the location of a moved school house now at a new school location front yard
- i guess the metal detector i have now works, and it owes me nothing so far lol
the small lo$$ in the old one, the 50 bucks from the trade, and a metal detector i seem to be able to understand AND already found stuff..
priceless lol
hope to post a good discovery soon!
