    That's great. Hopefully there will be more history on your family land, than ours. I spent a couple hours walking in one direction, (slowly) and never got a single hit! We're right on the Natchez Trace, and you would think there would be something...
    But, we have found some arrow heads here and there on the place.

    I forgot about this thread mainly because looks like I might have been drinking when it got started judging by the title.
    My detector was purchased by my Mom from a neighbor heavy in the hobby and she wanted me to learn it. Its a 80s Torso Silver sabre quite the machine for its day. The old man taught me a lot of techniques and ways to search for artifacts. Many of his years of experience tips and tricks sunk in and I remember them all. None of his children or grandchildren showed any interest so he gave the knowledge to me. I have used that same detector all these years and it still produces treasure but outdated for sure sure and very hard to get parts for.
    The wife surprised me with a early Father's Day gift of a new Minelab 800 equinox this thing is a top tier machine and I am looking forward to playing in the dirt.
    I will even go back to some old spots to see what new treasures it reveals.Click image for larger version.

    I think its a cool hobby and want to get into it. Its not about what you find, its about what you feel as you find whatever, working a strategy and seeing it work the way you expected (like the entrance advice...)....or at least thats my reason for wanting to do it.

    Very first find in a area I previously searched that was full of garbage was silver plated spoon. Few pennies 1 dime a ild brass button a carmex container with a glass bottom was pretty deep so definitely been there a while and just some other crap stuff. This thing has so many settings and tones I need to learn but it is sweet and a tone of depth power my deepest target I dug was about 14 inches and it sounded like it was near the surface.

    Set it to- "silver and gold silver and gold"

    That thing is pretty bad ass! It found quite a bit more than your old one.

    I always look at this one old adobe house site and imagine a farmer putting some coins in a mason jar and burying it.
    I will look into prices, and ratings.
    And no shit legit, my son found a piece of gold, slightly bigger than two grains of pepper, in a creek in Durango Colorado, BUT I dropped it..
