So my middle boy has been wanting a metal detector for some time. We got him a jr. detector with a sifter and small shovel and you would have thought we bought him a new ferrari.
Anyhow, went out into the woods inside a park in our development. The whole region was farmland just 30 years ago, going backwards about 150 years there has been farms and cattle ranches around here.
We ended up finding the old barbed-wire fence line and that included some very old and rusted through barbed wire and rusted metal stakes. It's in an area that was covered over with brush and doesn't look like people have been here much at all, just some wild animal tracks.
Also found a few pennies and what looks to be natural iron in some rocks, pretty cool.
Anyhow, it's good times. We're going to detect near the sand volleyball courts now and then around the playgrounds and near all of the benches where people sit.
