Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 8:55 pm A probe? Something new to learn about...yea! More stuff to buy...double yea! (I am such a geek.) I don't know how much good it would do because in northern IL NOTHNG can be REMOVED. Apparently every time I picked up a penny I found on the sidewalk, I was breaking the law. However, I mostly want to dig up my backyard. I went out today to get more nails and found a bunch. I was shocked to find brand new roofing nails already covered by a half of an inch of dirt. It's been less than a week since we got the new roof. I was amazed. I figured I would find nails hiding between the blades of frozen grass -- not already under dirt. It sort of freaked me out. We haven't had rain or snow... Report this Post to the Staff
Jaymon74 Pillar of the Community United States 844 Posts	Posted 01/19/2013 9:29 pm This has been a good read. I just got a detector for Christmas and have had it out a few times. There's two 1800's houses on my road that I'm working up the courage to ask permission to hunt. Buddy, I found a 2007 Quarter today that was already under the grass roots by about 1/2 an inch. I was surprised by that. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 7:59 pm Believe me, I want to go find some coins...but I'm still picking up nails. When they tore off the old roof I think a bunch of nails ended up hiding in the branches of the evergreens. Every time we get a gust of wind there are nails again. I am worried about the ones on my neighbor's driveway. Just two more months until spring....no more frozen ground! Report this Post to the Staff
Jaymon74 Pillar of the Community United States 844 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 5:26 pm LOL there was still snow on the ground when I dug my first coin. :) Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 5:39 pm The technology out there today is great, I need a new one and I'm looking at the amphibious ML ctx3030. Can "see" more than on target at a time, which is good if you hunt trashy irony sites. $2,500. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 6:34 pm $2,500? You made me laugh with 'trashy irony sites' because that is where I live now. LOL I am still cleaning up after the roofers. My husband taped a big magnet onto the end of a garden tool so I don't have to bend over to pick the nails. So...MD in one hand, magnet on the end of a pole in the other.... and it turns out I have a bunch of magnetic stones in my yard. Alas, no meteorites. Report this Post to the Staff
