I wanted to get started again after years of not having a detector. I used to live in Mississippi right next an old dead end timber railroad, and suspected that there might be something there, so I went the now defunct Otasco store, and purchased a 30 something dollar detector. I went to the site and bam, all kind of old railroad iron on my property.
I used it only a few other times, and after many years it quit working, so I trashed it.
A couple of weeks ago I spent less that a hundred dollars on a new one, just to see if I would rekindle an interest, I went a couple of school lots and this is what I've found so far, not much, but exciting to me.
I plan on upgrading to a garret 250, or some kind of Tesoro in the future, but for now this one will have to do.
This is my first post, I really enjoy this forum, some really exciting finds here. thanks for reading.

I started with a $40 dollar ebay cheapie detector, bought a used Discovery 1100 for $25 and finally got an ACE250 for $200. I have had just as much fun digging coins or relics or just junk with any of the three of them. Congrats on your finds and keep posting them for us. Are there any markings on the ring you found?
