Hello everyone. Today I bought my first metal detector, a Bounty Hunter Quick Silver from Academy. I have always been interested in finding old junk and trying to figure out the history of it. I go with my wife to antique shows and I have bought something exactly twice. Both times what I bought turned out to be counterfeit coins! I figure that at least by digging up a counterfeit coin it has to be better than paying for it. Anyway, I took it for a spin in the front yard and found some scrap iron, a brass spigot, and a 1984 penny. Nothing impressive but it sure was a nice day to be outside! Hopefully I will have better finds to share in the future. Does anyone know about rules and regulations about digging in public parks and schools around Dallas? I teach, so I'm pretty sure I would be fine at my own school, but as for others, I don't want the cops called on me for looking like some creep. Once again, glad to be here and I have bookmarked this site. Can't wait to read about all the cool finds and stories here.
you could tell the cops that some of your students have lost their motivation and you're looking for it.
