My first metal detecting hunt

[GirlWithWolf]

Went on my first hunt today and it was cut short because we had to make an emergency trip to Texas, but I managed to find several coins, a rusty old knife, and a wallet with a metal tag (land owner knows the family of who the wallet belongs to, his decades old drivers license was in it, so he is returning it to them).

I got them cleaned up the best I can while on this unexpected road trip. It was so much fun and thank you to all that gave me advice and encouragement! I can’t wait to do it again.

Just out of curiosity…..and if you mentioned before I apologize…..but how much junk (cans, tabs, nails, etc) did you dig along with your other finds?

Good question, I didn’t mention it before and looking more at the metal detector finds I should have taken pictures of that stuff too. I dug up about 4 nails (what looked like nails but were really rusty), 3 links to a large chain, and a couple of nuts and one bolt (all small).
