I received a metal detector for my birthday ( be careful making comments like, "That would be fun" ), folks will buy stuff like metal detectors for you. .

I've tried it several times and have found one , (1) , thin dime.

LOL

However, it's exciting all the same.

I can only imagine the thrill of finding a single piece of gold, let alone a treasure trove.

Not a lot of gold ? Uh, sure.

I have found most of my really neat artifacts visually but have started to use electronics. Yup, I got a metal detector for my birthday and never even hinted that I wanted one. My wife has told me to be careful, she can read my mind:)
