Bought Three Garrett Metal Detectors

No rain today, off to try my luck on the Wells Fargo cash box....

Sounds like fun! I need to pick a metal detector up one of these days!!

@bmar When you get tired of searching around Libby, come down here and throw your detector on my property. I would love to know what is buried here and will grant you permission. I live on the old Native American "Trail to the Buffalo" as they call it. So who knows what could be under there.

Here are the big finds for the first day of metal detecting..There is also the 1964 Lincoln for the day.

Went out on the Kootenai River where and old road was cut thought around the beginning of the last century. The new road is down along the railroad tracks. The old road was used mostly by model T era cars and some wagons. We didn't find much but a few small car parts and nails. We did see some ospreys and great views of the Kootenai river.

Yesterday was the Fawn Creek campground area where they hold the muzzle loader/mountain man rendezvous. There were whitetail deer all over enjoying the first grass of spring. Saw about eight heron, all grouped together for some reason, where the Fisher river runs into the Kootenai river just a few miles below the Libby dam. Not having much luck with the metal detecting, but it is sure nice to be outside after one long and hard winter.

I would have been happy with a few Lincolns and a Jefferson or two, but still had a good time. Tomorrow might be an old homestead on the banks of the Kootenai a few miles upriver of the falls and swinging bridge.

I've heard that detectorists always practice with their own coins first. Clearly it's a good idea.

It's odd that you should be able to easily find a ring pull but not a quarter.

The rechargeable batteries came today and I tried them in the detector and had no problem with detecting a quarter under a book, but the other detector had no problem either. I spent the day moving beehives and setting up nucs and such, so no time to go looking for coins. Maybe tomorrow.
