Have you ever used a metal detector? Did you find anything valuable?

Similar questions: metal detector find valuable.

Think... You have to think of where there could be useful things dropped. Just cruising around your backyard you're unlikely to find anything. Good places are: dirt parking lots of bars and restaurants that serve liquor.

Under bleachers. Under beach stairs. At the state fairgrounds..

1 I'll bet you can net more coins pulling your hand through the cracks in the sofa/chair you use when you watch TV on a weekly basis. Depending upon whether your kids eat on the sofa, you may want to wear rubber gloves... :)I have watched a handful of people over the years use one of these detectors on beaches. They occasionally would get alerts.

But, I never saw them retrieve anything of greater value than a washed up soda can or something like that. I wonder whether you can use these devices as a fancy stud finder when doing home improvements? Your fellow workers may look at you a little funny though... :) .

You mean you can take it to bars? .

Curious7777777 replied to post #2: 3 Maybe in Texas...here we don't usually pack iron when we go out for a beer. I just thought of a really good use for a metal detector, though. It won't make money.

But, it could help clean up a property after major construction. A couple years ago, a next door neighbor did major renovations on his house. There were nails--new and old--all over our property.

This device could quickly find nails in grass and on gravel. It could have saved me a new tire. My luck, the nail somehow made it into the edge of the radial.

I imagine this could be useful after a roofing job too.

AgentOrange replied to post #3: 4 Good idea.

Should I buy a gps for my car or a metal detector.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
