DO YOU GO METAL DETECTING, with a metal detector?
Have you found anything?
I have had a hobby of looking for treasures at bus stops, at the park, and at the beach.
I have found a few dollars on a good day, but it's fun and you get a lot of exercise; walking, bending over, digging, standing up and walking some more....lol. Finding a dime, or a quarter...a way to make my day...
A few years ago while on vacation in the Cayman Islands I brought my Cobra Beach Magnet and while my wife went scuba diving I went metal detecting on the beaches. I know I looked like a dork, with my headphones and short walking between the unclad swimmers, waving my detector over the sand.
I discovered I got more attention when I pulled out my headphones and it made a loud beep, beep, beep.... I would stop and get to digging in the sand and most of the time I got a bottle cap.or the same quarter I kept finding, it must have dropped out of my pocket accidentally several times right near the bathing beauties...
I was walking along and some guy taps me on the shoulder and said he had lost his care keys, so I followed him down the beach to where he and his family was hanging out. I searched where he said they were....nothing....I asked where he was sitting and he pointed to some beach chairs and I went over there and sure enough, there they were under 2 inches of sand....He tried to give me $10.00 but I said no problem and happily got back to watching (ogling) and detecting.
I was watching the History channel the other night and it showed a fellow in England who in 20 min of searching a field found $156,000.00 in Roman coins....I am getting the itch to go over to the local park and find a few beer can tabs.....or maybe a gold ring ?
