Yup! Historicaerials.com has been a game changer as far as finding old sites. I looked into the Legend but the wife surprised me with this vanquish and I still haven’t quite figured it out completely yet but It’s successfully got me hooked on the hobby. I put out a post here a while back asking...
very nice infantry button! I have been detecting for a few years but nothing serious until this past fall. I’ve been asking permissions and doing research around my area. I use a few websites that show old Ariel photos vs modern photos and look for old home sites. I’m hopelessly addicted to the...

Thats Awesome!!! I agree completely with it being a great hobby. I also struggled with finding places so i posted a simple request here on ODT and had many great people offer their property and time so my son and i could come beep around. Unfortunately Ive been experiencing personal struggles...
I myself am a amateur so take my recommendation with a grain of salt. I actually enjoy the Ace 250 by Garrett its great on batteries and is pretty accurate as far as pinpointing your target. My sons 250 has a issue with giving false signals when it is bumped against a sapling or root etc. and...
My son got a Garrett ace 250 two Christmas’s ago and Santa got me a Minelab vanquish 440 this past Christmas and it’s been tough finding time to go but when we do It’s always good fun. I need to invest in a good pinpointer. My son (9yo) bought a profind 35 with his own money and I’ve got a...
My son and I went metal detecting at @Treehawk property and had an absolute blast! He is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. He let us beep around his beautiful property and here are some of the things we found. Several old shot shells spent bullets and square nails. I’m sure we didn’t scratch...
Ive heard similar stories from other guys and i dont want to look back and ask if i could have tried harder to be a better dad. He is my one and only child and he gets bored being a single child so i try to do as much as possible with him while he still wants to hang out with his lame old man...
Hello ODT'ers,
My son and I have taken on the hobby of metal detecting and we really enjoy it, but he is getting bored with it because we only have two permissions to detect. He is 9 years old and always talking about finding a three ring Mini (Minie?) ball from the civil war. I would like to...
I agree 110% he is amazing. I also mentioned him back in 2014 when this thread started. I had forgot this convo ever started but I’m glad someone brought it back to life. I still stick by my original player Derek Trucks, ppl can say what they want about him being “hardly unknown” you never hear...
Hall Bathroom faucet in my mother’s current house turns on by its self from time to time, it was my great grandmothers house and she passed peacefully in her bedroom at the end of the hall. So the running joke is she is visiting from time to time and using the sink. I think is water pressure...
