Digging In Your Back Yard For Metal?

If you're on the east coast of North America, there's not much down there you're likely to find. If you make it down 5,000 km before your shovel melts, you'll hit the nickel-iron core of the planet.

But if you're interested in the mineralogical potential of your local woodland, you're probably better off asking the US Geological Survey.

I don't care how you re-word any of your topics or posts...you are not going to find a way of making money on this forum unless you want to buy/sell precious metals. And even then, I cannot guarantee you will make a profit.

Stop asking us how to make money and figure it out yourself.

That is all.

I'm sure he appreciates the glint of hope, but you are just getting his hopes up and now the CCF will face another 100 of his useless posts about getting rich quick or coin hunting scams.

It is probably a 1 in a billion chance he could find anything of any real value in his back yard, he has a better chance of hitting a sewage pipe or water line. You didn't even advise him to call the city before he starts digging ( you could get in aaaallooooott of trouble ).

Also, it would cost him more money to maintain a safe work environment within said hole than he would be extracting in finds.


Honostly greenprint, if you want to find anything of any value by digging...get yourself a metal detector and start going to every park/school yard that you know of.

Greenprint....wat swrxxx forgot to mention was the possiblity of finding Unobtainium, Impossibilium and if you are really lucky maybe some Flubber.

Get a metal detector. Best time to go is at night. One of my best hauls ever was at some abandoned buildings in the middle of town. One used to be a gold and silver store. Busted out the windows and just started going around the edges of the rooms, around doors and stuff. I couldn't believe it but my metal detector just started going off. Not the bad sounds like iron nails give you, but good chimes like silver.

Here is the kicker, they left all their stuff behind when they abandoned the building. It was amazing! I just started putting anything in my bags that went off when I ran the metal detector over it.

Only bad thing is that the police gave me some trouble because they get all uppity about everything and try to keep the little man down. They hate people that use metal detectors, they hate them more than poor people.

Stick it to the man! They are always going on and on about property rights and tresspassing laws. That is way I go out at night and wear all black. Sometimes I paint my face so they don't see me. Gloves are a must.

I have a little Indian blood in me so I always talk about "The White Man" when people who think they are in a position of authority try to confront me. My people don't like it when... (fill in what ever).

Let the dumb people do the digging, refining and minting. You just get the metal detector and get it after they are done with it.

Some of my buddies and I have a metal detecting club. We get around and hash ideas out on where to go. Last time we came up with a pretty good list: Banks, museums, historical societies, mines, refineries, coin stores, pawn shops, gun stores, Cabella's, police stations (they have lots of guns and "evidence" for you metal detector to find), etc.

I don't want to give away to many good areas. These places will make you rich though. Way easier than going to the park.

METAL DETECTING is where the money is at BRO! If I got the change to tell my old self anything, anything at all, I would tell my younger self to get a metal detector. I wouldn't even bother going to college. Waste of money, just stay in school until you're 18, then drop out and hit the ground with detector as soon as possible. The years I lost sitting in the class rooms listening to wind bags do the whippy cushon.

Now I only work two or three times a month for a few hours. Beats the daily grind and the rush hour traffic. I don't even have to do the work, just get out for the exercise and the thrill of the hunt. I am living the life now and the doctor says I am less stressed than ever.

One time I was detecting in this church, my detector went off over a plate like nothing else. These people have just left MONEY, cold hard cash MONEY in there. I got it before some other metal detectorist could get it. You have to act quick, but don't be obvious about it. Other metal detectorists will try to move in on your territory. Plus they wear disguises. Think about it. If they dress up as a pastor, or a plumber, or a police man no body watches those people. They they swoop in and try to get your prize. Watch out for other detectorists, they are sneaky and EVERYWHERE. There are not millions of them but some of them are good and they know another detectorist when they see them so they follow them and try to get in on your turff. You have to know these things.

Allranger,

Can I join this metal detector club you speak about, I can supply the group with bullet proof vests for those hunts where "the man" may be trying to take you down

Don't listen to these people greenprint. Everyone knows that the riches of the deep are protected by and if you dig too deep you'll unleash that will wreak havoc on Earth. If this happens, you'll need to make a and give it to the so they . Once they are dead, you can and collect your precious metals.

Let us all know where you'll be digging this hole so we can
