- Metal Detecting
Hey yall, im new to this hobby, but have been hooked from the first find i ever dug (1948 wheat penny) with a fellow firefighter. I went out and bought 2 detectors from pawns shops. I use the Bounty Hunter Discovery 2200, and my back up is a Bounty Hunter Lonestar. I do a lot of night detecting due to the fact that i have 7 kids and after they go to bed i get out for a couple hrs and have fun. I try and go during daylight also when i can. Im hoping this site will help me identify any items that i might have no clue what they are, lol. I recently found my first silver coin, a 1910 Barber dime, and my first "real" jewelry find, a sterling silver ear ring with an amethist stone set in it (it looks really old by the way the ear loop was soldered on to the charm). Ive been detecting since March 3, 2013. Ive only had the opportunity to detect local parks so far, and my back yard (which actually turned out to be a lot of finds). Ive purchased a Garrett pro pointer and just got to use it today for the first time. AWESOME tool! And ordered a 4" coil also. So please have patience with me on any termanology or unknown finds, thanks in advance.
