Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 07/02/2013 10:47 pm Fisher F2 in my own backyard, first "relic" came as soon as I turned the detector on (part of an old brass hose nozzle) then a couple of nails, a stainless screw, and my first ever coin (1981 penny), second "relic" just before dinner, 25 feet away from the first, another part of a hose nozzle and guess what ? it's a perfect match to the first piece! 25 feet apart - I'm hooked!

AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 07/02/2013 11:32 pm I used to love metal detecting when I was a kid.... I don't know where you're located.... but I always found my best items near water.. Another good tip is around old farmsteads or locations that were popular areas 50 - 100 years ago... I always thought it was cool to find old nails, once found a pully and I would occasionally find the odd coin or two... good luck with the new hobbie and have fun!! Report this Post to the Staff
