Metal detecting is one of the most interesting hobbies to me. You’re basically a modern-day treasure hunter but how often do you actually find anything of value? You have to be patient and know where to search. I wouldn’t even know where to start with a metal detector in the city.
People from all over are sharing the most interesting metal detector finds they’ve unearthed in this online group and now I want to try it. With my luck, I’d only find some old paper clips and a soda can.
