Give me the 411 on metal detecting!?

Question

What metal detector works great and thats cheap? Where are the best places for hunting? I live near D.C. Any near there? Tell me about your great finds!!!(:

Answer 1

Cheap doesn't mean decent quality...With Metal Detectors, you get what you pay for...I have 2 Detectors from White's Electronic's and I like them both.I've found gold jewelry(Sold for scrap gold and got about $175), about $100 in coins, a diamond ring (Got $500 for this) A real Civil War era Confederate Belt Buckle, a hinge that was made from 2 horseshoe's (Very Old), and some antique hand forged nails,some Civil War 58 caliber mini-balls..Tons of old bottle caps.....lol

I like detecting on beaches, like Sandy Point State Park near the Bay bridge in Annapolis,Maryland, Ocean City Beaches,Properties ajacent to Civil War battlefields in Maryland,Virginia, West Virginia,Pennsylvania etc. I'm not getting rich, but I've had fun and the things I've found have paid for the cost of the Detector's themselves.......

Answer 2

You have to research the history of the place you want to metal detect to so that you can figure out if they are really rich in metals or treasures. Any abandoned and swimming areas are good example to this. Below are the list of cheap yet great metal detector:

-GARETT ACE 150
-Bounty Hunter TK4 Tracker IV
-Fisher F2
-Tesoro Compadre

Answer 3

In general most Europeans are considered Caucasian. However the term Hispanic (which refers to people that speak some form of Spanish) refers also to people of Native South American and Middle American descent (Inca, Aztec etc.) that are not Caucasian.

Answer 4

Top of the line for me is "whites" brand.
You can buy cheaper ones from Radio shack and many sporting goods stores from around $100 up to $600

Answer 5

411 KDF is a fine if obscure rifle cartridge.
If, on the other hand, you're asking for information in the hunting section, you should choose your slang more carefully.
