The Official Asylum Metal Detecting & Finds Thread

I had the itch something terrible about ten years or more ago, my gosh, it's been awhile when I look at it like that.
I think My dad wanted to get into it, but way back then, in the 70's and 80s, even a crap rig was very expensive.
And they were all crap, lol. He died a good 25 years ago, so we never got to do it together. It's the kind of
thing he got a kick out of. He was a chemistry and physics teacher. I got my second unit last week, lol. I won't
take it into some of these nighborhoods yet. Of course, having a SHARP army shovel in your other hand tends to keep
the wolves at bay a bit, lol. For $150-200, you can find one that'll find the fun stuff. Problem is that GOLD tends to
detect around the spectrum with iron and pull tabs...bummer.
