I purchased a metal detector for my son's birthday, (my wife asked me if it was really for HIM)We have only been out a few times to a local beach, no treasures yet, just a bunch of recent coins, a few hot wheels and shell casings. I never thought I would be so interested in such a thing, it's neat getting a signal and anticipating what you will find. Our history here in Alberta only goes back about a hundred years, so no relics or ancients. Some of you in the States have much more history, civil war sites and old pioneer sites would be interesting to search.
Just wondering if anyone here has a metal detector?
