do you like finding wheaties, merc's, buffalo nickels, silver quarters? Of course!
You may find toy lead soldiers and long lost things from the past.
Maybe even lost jewelry - ya never now. But I'd certainly detect it!
Your yard is the first place to detect.If your a novice,there's no better place to practice and familiarize yourself with your machine.Your house was built in the '40's,what was there before that?HHMMM??
Look at your pocket change right now and see how old the coins are. Now imagine it's 1940 and this is your new house, what kind of coins are in your pocket? Definately search your yard.
