re: Any treasure hunters or metal detectors here?

I have a metal detector but have only searched on family land. The most interesting thing I've found are two .58 caliber minie balls in my front field. I know there were troop movements around here during the Civil War. I've found some old wheat pennies, a tax token from the 19 teens, an old ID bracelet with my grandfather's initials on it, and a couple of other knick-knacks. I got tired of it after a couple of years, but the old detector is in the garage if I ever decide to get back into it.

There is a good message board for the hobby called Treasure Net.
