Not an easy hobby to do with kids in tow, it's pretty boring for them It's also harder these days to find places to hunt and get permission from land owners. I think fishing and metal detecting are pretty similar though, I get the same excitement at seeing whats going to appear on the end of my hook as I do when I dig up my "treasure". You never know what you're gonna get!

Have any trophy metal catches?

Nothing that would let me retire for life LOL

I have found 2 gold necklace pendants...one was a religious disk about the size of a quarter, the other was an eagle clutching a small diamond.

The oldest coin I have found was from 1857.

The weirdest thing I have found was a gun wrapped in a plastic bag buried in my own backyard.
