Advice For New Detectorist With $500 Budget
rvpopeye replied to RubenAlonzo's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Most are covering which detector. So I'll go with accessories. An old shovel will work to start , yard sales best source unless you already have one. A plastic trowel ~ $5 , an old screwdriver ,,,or both at a yard sale again. You probably already have ear buds or headphones ? A cheap Chinese knock off pin pointer can get you something basic for ~ $25. Upgrade to a Garrett Carrot later... I found a little camera bag for finds at Goodwill /etc. for $2 ! Lots of other bags like that there usually under $5 . Small backpacks $5 for the really good ones ! A plastic bag tied to your belt would work if you're running out of budget$ OH yeah , if you're like a lot of us you can get some "Glasses of Shame" 3.25 readers at a Dollar store for those hard to see dates on coins LOLπ You already found your best accessory for free, this forum !!!!!!! Ask those questions as the pop up. -

Welcome aboard Ruben ! You chose wisely. Which first detector ? No easy answer. Check out Steve's Guides and other places here like the forum classified / for sale section. A few questions to help us help you. 1 What is the maximum $ amount you can spend ? 2 Is weight of the detector an issue ? 3 In your investigations , did you see any type(s) of detecting that you thought you wanted to do? (coins , relics , jewelry.....prospecting) and places (city parks and curb strips , beaches , old houses/buildings , civil war sites , etc) 4 Are there any detecting clubs in your area ? That would be a great place to actually try before you buy . (a good dealer could offer that too.) As a vet , definitely ask about discounts . You earned it and more for offering it all..... Oh , one more thing....There's a slight chance you will become addicted to this , but don't worry you're among a lot of folks that won't point and laugh,,,cuz we is too ! OOOOOH AYUH ! .

Draped Bust That Rang With A Silver Lining
rvpopeye replied to dogodog's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
A fancy spoon ring and a whole bell is a great hunt , then add the coin.....π Not a bad place to live at all !π€ Single freq huh ? It sure worked for you ! -
Excellent wrap up post ! Silver AND gold is a good hunt any day .π³ I'm in a campsite , in the fairground . My junk finds and a memorial dug so far are being cleaned on my back bumper. By all the rain and 40kt wind that I am also in. But power is still on here and I'm using it for the heater even though it's 63* and now I'm looking at the Nox and wondering if I should put on the Grunden's and just do it ! Me crew is already outside sayin' "get out here you Caw Caw Caw Caw" ! Me thinks they might just be complainin' cuz their breakfast was raw raw raw raw ??? Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference...

Different shape due to possible copyright issues ?π€ -
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww (Not only outta likes , outta sads too) Oh well , karma points ! One for trying to find the owner before trying to sell it.. And another for returning to the (late to the party) original owner later. (that makes the points worth $100 each ?) π
