What's your opinion when you are by the pool or a park and you see some of those people with their metal detectors, passing it backwards and forwards along the ground? Is it something along the line of, "Oh my God, look at this metal detecting loser"?.
Do you chuckle as you picture her in your mind's eye, digging out soda cans and pennies for hours at a time? Maybe you were with friends and everyone got a good laugh from it.
If this describes you, chances are good that you'll own a metal detector one day. The majority of metal detecting hobbyists started out exactly like you. They would see people using their detectors, and scoff and make fun of them, but in the back of their minds, they had some questions.
Do those things really work well? How sensitive are they? How deep can they detect metal? Do they ever find anything? Even if its just change, how much cash have they collected? Has it paid itself off yet? Did they find any jewelry? Was it expensive jewelry? (find more on this forum). On the beach, where are the best results; in or out from the water?
If you know anyone who has a metal detector you really should ask her to show you how it works. Go out exploring for some hours, one day. In all probability you'll be hooked from that time, forward. Do not ask your friend to loan her unit to you. Wars have been fought over much less than that.
The best places to go are anywhere groups of people walk, gather, or even, used to gather. Sites where county fairs are held are great (check out this Canadian directory for more resources). Parks and athletic fields, and also beaches are prime spots. Camp sites can be fruitful, especially when they are boy scout or girl scout camps, since those get used a lot.
