Just ordered a Minelab Gold Monster 1000 and plan to get out this fall to scout for some gold.

Curious if there's anyone else here that likes to dig for treasure and what you found.
 
Been metal detecting since the early seventies. Achilles tendon problems now have greatly curtailed my fun time. Currently own seven detectors, including Garrett, White's, Bounty Hunter and two Minelabs [original Sovereign XS from 1995 and Safari]. I have found the usual coins and rings and even old rusted handgun parts, but nothing to make me a millionaire. I really enjoy hearing the discriminator alert go off indicatng a good find. However, sometimes digging in hard Georgia red clay in 95 degree temp with gnats attacking my face is not so fun. LOL. Enjoy a great hobby. Thanks.

Love to detect but sold my machine when I needed some money. Bought my son a youth bounty hunter from sportsman warehouse. We went on a friends rural 40acre tract and found a old car door and the occasional brass casing. But we did surface find a porcelain button and some Native American pottery in the creek!! Had a ball and WILL be getting a new machine someday when money gets better.

Yes I metal detect some, I’ve got a Garett ace 350. I like detecting places with civil war history. The best thing I’ve found is a union staff sergeants cuff button
 
Glad to see a few others that are into it. A little while back I had taken my gold pan out to try my luck down by the creek, but ended up walking away disappointed thinking a metal detector would cut out the wasted time searching areas that had nothing.

First thing I plan to do with it is locate my property line stake's to get aquanted with the machine.
