My first season in MN detecting

Started with a cheap unit and moved up to a better one (Bounty Hunter 505) and hunted from July to late November this last year. Did all right. I really enjoyed finding so many interesting items!

Wow, you have done very well DCLI (651). It looks like you've found several undetected area to detect which is great. I'm from the St Cloud area and have been detecting here (+ other states & countries) for 20 yrs now. I'll get out this coming Sunday for my 1st time in 2011 - Florida. I've been detecting in the St Cloud area and have only seen 6 other detectorists in the 20 yrs....sort of like having the whole place to myself. If you're ever up this way, I have many places planned for 2011....a few old homes to be torn down, 2 old neighborhoods to be torn up, etc. Later...Goose-0

Thanks for the comments!

Yes - I cannot wait for the snow to go away! I was having a bit of luck earlier this week and then the snow came back and ruined my fun. Darn. Picked up an old metal toy soldier from 1937, 1884 Morgan silver dollar and a small gold pin - along with some other misc. relics. (Go away snow!! I have to get back out there!)

Nice.... Looks like your in the St.Paul area. I have a simple unit. the F2 Fisher. I know it well and got it for 150.00 so it's paid for it's self.
If you have any free time let me know. Maybe we can hook up for a day?

Nice finds love the house tags. I found one in Irvin Park on a Residence site dated 1852. The home owner was out raking and I just happen to be in the right place at the right time. Also found 2 silver quarters and an old Axe Head.

Happy Hunting.
