I was curious if anyone was into metal detecting at all? I've recently started to do it, I bought a detector on clearance at TSC and while it was okay I decided to upgrade to a little more high end dector. So far I've dug up most of my backyard but haven't ventured out to fields or public parks. I've found quite a few old coins, pull tabs, rusted tools and Matchbox cars from the late 60''s/early 70's ( my house was built in the 50's so I figured there'd be more).

So does anyone else do this and have better luck? I've thought about joining a local club here in Central Ohio but I'm not sure if I'm ready to commit to it. Although I can see the benefits of doing so. I'm sure there has to be a few others on here that share this nerdy hobby.

Just coins so far, actually I've been digging anything I've got a hit on. How do you nugget hunt? I wouldn't even know where to start looking to do that. I'd really like to try relic hunting.

Thanks for the information, I'm definitely going to look into the thread and read up on gold in my area. I live I Ohio so I'd imagine since we had glacial movement there is gold. I think most of it around here is done by panning. Let me find some decent stuff and I'll post, not far from my house there was an old Civil War training camp/POW camp and I have received permission to detect on a spot that was the old train depot that supplied the camp.

Hopefully I'll find some decent stuff. Again thanks for the info bend.
