I have a minelab sovereign gt, it's old but very good. I live in Australia so there isn't really any old relics. Best find would either be a 1914 silver coin or a gold ring. Haven't done it in a while because I'm sick of bottlecaps and junk metal :/

what are you talking about?

like most middle class in the US I own a house that's worth a couple hundred ounces of gold. And I have enough credit to buy about 30 lbs of pure gold if I for some insane reason wanted to.

We hand out credit in the US like it's candy. Even to poor people.

Thinking of getting a cheap $60 metal detector to use on the exposed sand banks at low tide when I'm out fishing

Don't really want to spend heaps on something, just want to have a go finding jewelry/rings on beaches and exposed sandbanks while cruising up and down the river with my lures in the water

Will a cheap $60 one do? Any tips for using it when there will be half an inch of water above it? Thanks guys

Has any of you ever found an unexploded bomb or mine? What do you do with them, and how likely is it to blow up when you dig into one of those while detecting?

I found a police revolver from the '30s in a mummified boot buried under a mound of rocks on our property. The wooden handle was completely gone and it had rusted into a solid chunk but my buddy and I managed to get the hammer moving with some wd40. Unfortunately my dad caught wind and gave it to the police who confiscated it, we were 12/13~ at the time.

gear fags be warned. That computer that filters out trash and tells you how deep your "coin" is supposed to be is also rejecting 90%+ of the coins and jewelry you're after.

sure, I dig far more trash than the guys with expensive detectors. I also dig far more treasure.

I used to avoid places I'd see other people detecting all the time. I was sure they were played out- nothing to find. Now I go where everyone else goes and just dig up all the stuff they missed. They love that.

Also got a silver plated pen from the 1800's and a bullet keychain with an old Henry rifle shell on it. The bullet had been replaced with plastic. I didn't know people in the 1800's even had plastic until I started digging through their trash.

I've considered the possibility.

but I see people detecting my spots every time I go there. People I don't know. Hundreds of them over the years. The exact same places I find stuff.

I'd have to pretend they're ALL retarded. Or that those spots have an amazing wealth of coins that are renewed each year.

I suspect it mostly comes down to equipment. That and the amount of time I spend detecting.

Never been interested in metal detecting until now, figured if I wanted anything good I'd have to shell out a few hundred bucks, if I can spend 20-50$ and get a decent detector I'll do it.

Looked on Ebay and found a bunch of similar looking ones but don't know which is which. What's the exact model?

they're also sometimes listed as 53-3003 because that's what's stamped on the back of the thing.

Not sure why Micronta used one number on the box and a different number on the detector body.

Anons, if I buy this you promise I won't be disappointed? I'm a n00b but have wanted one for years. My nephew just got one and it would be breddy neat to go detecting with him. I just don't want to buy an old POS that doesn't work. He's got a new one that my sister bought him but I want one that looks like an old obsolete POS but really works. I can't afford anything new/good right now anyway.

no, I absolutely don't promise it.

this is a 1986 detector that was a kids toy when it was made. People see you using it will laugh at you and point. It takes practice to figure out how to use it. A lot of practice.

You may very well be disappointed.

But after 30 years of detecting it's my favorite detector by far. I've personally found more stuff with it than all my other detectors combined.

no, but I've found a gold coin and a handful of antique gold rings.

gold is pretty rare where I detect, but those old saloon tokens I find are worth as much as gold. A few hundred bucks each for most of them.

That's why I'd never do it for work.
I'd hate to ruin my favorite hobby.

I'm pretty good at finding buried manhole covers and tracing utility lines though. Oh, and finding car keys dropped in the mud or jewelry lost in the snow. It'd suck to HAVE to use one every day.

seen it, and though this one might not have gone off i do wonder how dangerous the excavation of unexploded ordonance is... farmarmers get blown up by old ww2 stuff occasionally after all.
