New Hobby: Metal Detecting
So for about the past 10 years, I always thought it would be fun to have a metal detector. Finding things buried in the earth, not knowing what it is until you finally find the little bugger is something cool to me. I just cached in some Foxwoods Dream Points for a new Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II metal detector and it just arrived through FedEx. I have been reading and watching videos on metal detecting to get a head start and have learned many things so far. My first trip was today, July 10th, on old farm land. It just started to rain shortly before I got there but once it slowed down, I tried it out. What I learned very quickly was, this is not going to be easy. Out of everything I have read, one thing I over looked was how ore it would make you. But this is good, it keeps you active.
I turned it on and started down by a little creek. Right away I got a ding. I looked at the LCD and say it was 2 inches below the surface, on the low end of the spectrum. I finally found the object and noticed it was a bolt. Neat. I have much to learn about how to discriminate certain objects and how to make the metal detector do most of the work, and not me.
This first trip was just a test. I wasnt expecting to get much, but I was able to experience and learn many things. Some things I took away: Being water. Wear old clothes. Keep your loot bag closed – If you kneel down and get up and kneel and get up you can spill your loot. I ended up there for about 1 hour because it started to rain again, but ended up getting some interesting thins.
My final findings for my first day was: A bolt. A large screw. A quarter sized piece of Iron. A fairly new quarter and two new pennies. Nothing of value but worth learning the tool I was working with.
I will post some pictures soon..
