I saw a guy detecting when I was a child and went to see what he was doing. I watched him for about 5 minutes, and he pulled a Mercury dime out of the ground. It was the first time I had ever seen a metal detector or a mercury dime and even though I couldn’t get a metal detector until I was older, I haven’t put it down since!
I am selling my Minelab Explorer 2 if anybody is interested. This is an awesome machine, and it is only 2 years old. We have a baby on the way, and I am selling some of my toys for now. I will also include two extra coils. There is probably only about 100 hours on the machine, and it has found some really nice stuff, including barber dimes, a wedding band, and a class ring to name a few. If interested, please feel free to contact me by using the CONTACT FORM. Thanks.
My Minelab Advantage metal detector helped me find one of the most rare Texas Civil War buttons ever made.
I got into metal detecting because my wife bought me one for my birthday. 11 years later and I’m still addicted to this great hobby. My favorite places to hunt are private property and plowed fields. The day that I found this button I was searching a plowed field in the state of Louisiana. I had my Minelab Advantage, which I had been using for over two years by this point, and a shovel to help dig.
