Is anyone interested in metal detecting?

[Michelle420]

I am just learning about it. My boyfriend bought me a metal detector. When I was in Vegas in May my brother in law was showing me all the cool stuff he has found with his metal detector and also how to pan for gold.

I don't really know where to start but he gave me some gold prospector magazines that were nice.

My son got one for christmas. We messed with it but it was for kids. It wasnt much to brag about..
I would like one.
I would love to go do it at all the civil war battlefields around here!

Metal detecting is a fun hobby. I’ve been at it for about 18 years.

My grandfather had one when I was a kid. I took it to the park across the street and found a bottle cap and a screw.

What kind of cool things have you found? My boyfriend bought me a minelab metal detector and also a little one that goes in the dirt.

I am now old enough to become a member of AARP. Maybe it's time to get into the hobby.

I am thinking of joining a club that goes out on hunts so I can learn things from other people.

Looks like metal detectors start out around $250 and can cost thousands.

I think minelab is pretty good.

Can people go into mountains, forrests, parks and metal detect or do you have to get permission from city and forrest ranger?

A good entry level detector would be a whites m6, fisher f4, Those are around $400.00 $600.00 Most people start off with a ace 150 cost around $150.00 then move on up to something better.

What about ghost towns, do you have to get a permit?

Watch "The Dectorists" on Nextflix.

Truly a lot of fun and you learn some cool things about the craft.

The way our crazy laws are. I would definitely get permission. I hunt parks, schools, and private property. Those areas are pretty much a go.

I haven't seen any "no metal detectors allowed signs" at any of the parks I've been to; however, some park officials may get upset if you start digging holes looking for stuff.

They usually chase metal detectors off of civil war battlefields

You will have to find private land
