Got A Metal Detector - Finally

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...

Very nice! Now go find some coins!

LOL there was still snow on the ground when I dug my first coin. :)

$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.
