Just joined this forum.
I started metal detecting about ten years ago with the old Cold War box style machine, I think it was a Whites Coinmaster. My arms got bigger but my pockets didn't.
About five years after that I was given a Bounty Hunter Land Star.
I didn't have the time or patience to learn the machine and quickly gave it up and sold the machine.
About three weeks ago while out garage saling, I happened upon a Teknetics Delta 4000 and purchased it for 45 dollars which seemed like a deal.
Since that day I have been out every day that the weather has permitted which is just about all of them here in central NY.
We could use some rain.
So far:
70 cents in clad
1 trailer hitch ball
3 large metal washers
1 can of rusted common nails
1 metal tent stake
1 sardine can key and lid
Numerous beaver tails and pull tabs
4 square nails
Numerous cans and parts of cans
and last but not least
1 blue sports car (hot wheels)

Looking forward to my next adventure!
