joeturbo26 Pillar of the Community United States 1193 Posts	Posted 05/29/2012 6:37 pm So I've been thinking about getting into the metal detecting thing! I know NOTHING about it, other than my great uncle when I was younger occasionally bringing an old radioshack metal detector with us to the beach occasionally, but it would never squeal LOL. I searched "Metal detecting" on youtube, and watched this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRnTXM7LYNo I may be sold! I honestly know NOTHING about it, but thought it could be a fun summer outdoor activity. Any well seasoned detector want to give me the brief rundown? What do you think are the chances of me finding things in Urban NYC where I live? I do have a summer house on Long Island right on the beach, ideally I want to find what the guys in this video are finding HAHAHA! Ok lets hear it! Report this Post to the Staff

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 05/31/2012 07:37 am The internet is great for doing research. I became hooked on "dirtfishing" over 3 years ago, and have dug hundreds of old coins. I've discovered that 80% of users will hang up the detector after one or two outings...You truly have to put in the swingtime and stick to it, the finds will come! When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
joeturbo26 Pillar of the Community United States 1193 Posts	Posted 05/31/2012 07:56 am Any suggestions on a starter detector? One that won't make me angry I purchased if in a year I too hang it up? Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 06/01/2012 06:24 am I can't suggest spending less than $400-$500 on a good used model that keeps it's resale value, like Minelab, or Whites. If you find later that you don't care for the hobby, you won't be out $. Check places like Craigslist, do your research. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
