I have been wanting a metal detector for some time now and finally decided to buy myself one as a Christmas gift to myself. I bought a Bounty Hunter Discovery 2200 this morning on my way home from Dicks sporting goods. I rushed home and put it together making sure not to break anything (damn thing was expensive) I get it all together press the power button and.........nothing happened! The hell! I followed the instructions.......crap forgot the batteries! I head out to the nearest gas station and pick up a couple of 9v batts and head home making a mental note to steal some 9v's from work. I get home and put the batteries in and press the power button (the anticipation is killing me) Beep, beep! it fired up. I walk outside to the front yard and begin sweeping as I read the instructions and learn the different tones. Finally when I get to the big tree on the edge of the property.....BEEP,BEEP......Found something! Quickly I begin to dig, thinking of the treasure I have found....I hope its gold I say to myself as I franticly dig down, 1 inch...2 inches...ok getting tired.......3 inches..."whew, those guys on Treasurenet.com must have massive bicep muscles! 4 inches down...I found it, wait...what is it! I took my new found treasure inside to the sink and begin to wash off the years of dirt and mud only to find a gun......lighter!
In the back of my mind I was hoping to find a old coin or some kind of buried treasure I still had a great morning, and I walked away with 2 new things, a rusted lighter gun, and a new hobby that I will enjoy for years to come!
