After doing some online research, I decided on what type of detector to purchase, what additional items I would need (knee pads, digger, sand scoop, pin-pointer, batteries and charger) and I was off to find buried treasure.

My initial plan was to metal detect in parks and at schools, but I found myself detecting 99 percent of the time at the beach. So, I purchased a second metal detector that is specifically designed for use in fresh water and salt water.

I found myself going to the beach (for the first time in about 15 years) and loving it. Initially, I was going on the weekends only but soon found myself going every day after work for about one hour and then again for three to four hours on the weekends and holidays.

To my surprise, I found that in about 5 months, I had lost about 20 pounds. All the walking, digging and scooping really got my weight down.If your going to be diving, or even metal detecting beaches you will probably want to buy an underwater metal detector that is specifically engineered to deal with hunting wet and submerged settings.

I have not found a lot of treasure but I have found gold and silver rings and necklaces, a lot of coins, and oodles of trash. I have also found my share of Hot Wheels cars, lead fishing weights, video game tokens, rusty nails, hairpins, costume jewelry, and pocket knives.

More importantly I have found a very friendly forum where detectorists from around the world share information and display the booty they have found.

And, most important, I have made good friends with detecting enthusiasts that lived nearby and really enjoy hunting with friends. Being able to try other detectors and learn from more experienced hunters has been a real help for me. I only wish I had discovered metal detecting years ago.
