We have been metal detecting for about a year. Started out with two radeo shack detectors. I finally went out and bought a Whites classic IDX, and i love it. Jim found the silver doller with the radeo shack detector, the day i bought the whites. Here are a few of the things we have found.
We have found lots of things that are interesting to us. We have found a civil war button in our yard. And the button from England came from our yard..

This is the necklace,that had a class ring, and a pair of earings hanging on it. That Jim found in the school yard. We found the young girl that lost it, and retured it.

The class ring vicky found in a local school yard, there is no name, date or school on it. The other ring Jim found at a beach, at a campground we camp at.

This is a watch fob that vicky found. It was found in a ball-park.

Jim found this, we are not sure what it is. It looks old, and is fairly heavy. But it has a surfing guy on it. But why the old dates. It has 1813 on the front, and 1914 on the back. With a W and a crown.
