After a year of trying, I finally scored permission to hunt a yard that once had a 1910 home on it in a city that has had activity all the way back to the Seminole Indian tribes. One permission led to another and on an adjoining lot, I got a deep but clear signal that sounded pretty sweet. Upon scanning my dirt pile, something popped out and at first thought it was a silver half dollar.
Well the first thought was correct, it was silver and the size of a half, however it was a medal given starting in the early 1800's once a year to a selected person. Their name is inscribed professionally on the medal and also the date of which it was presented to the individual. Mine is stamped 1859.
I was told before I started hunting that all the properties were bulldozed a few years back and about a foot layer of dirt was removed so I was welcome to detect the properties but that it was highly unlikely that I would find anything but trash.
That is where the Minelab products come in. The E-TRAC and other detectors from Minelab prove time and again that we don't believe in 'Hunted out" or there is nothing there. Go Minelab or go Home!
