What Are Your Favotite Digs With A Metal Detector? Silver Coins, Clad, Relics,Common Coins, Jewellery, Gold Jewellery? :shrug:

[John-Edmonton]

So many variables have changes during the last 10 years. Metal detectors are getting more technology built into them, and what used to cost the most is not necessarily the best today. There are metal detectors built today to excel in relics, gold nuggets and coins. The price of gold and silver has skyrocketed & there are now one dollar coins in circulation and a much younger generation making up a lot of the posts. Money is tight, yet people are still losing more money each year than what is being found with metal detectors. It would be interesting to see if some of the demographics have changed.

To respond, post your hunting preferences, from most important to you to least important.

I love hunting for rings, as I gets me into the water on hot summer days, yet can keep me at home and find rings from a 5 mile radius from home. The same can be said about clad. usually my relic hunts are combined with searches for silver coins, which happen mostly in the spring and fall.

I like rings, for same reasons you posted. I live 1/4 mi. from a lake, next would be coins. I have never tried relic hunting.

even if they're pennies. Then gold jewelry, silver jewelry and anything old.
Jewelry quest gets me to the beach and old stuff turns up anywhere.

Electronic prospecting is my overall favorite. Actually, I would rather prospect than do anything. Whether it's nugget shootin', drywashin', sluicin', pannin' and such.
Next to that would be beach/water huntin', lookin' for gold jewelry.
Then I/we enjoy hittin' tot lots lookin for any jewelry that the mommas may have lost while tendin' to junior.
I use to relic hunt alot more years ago, but I'm usually up for a good relic/field hunt. It's fun.
I'm not much of a clad fan, but coin shootin' is fun. I use to coinshoot alot more back in the day. My wife gets enough for both of us now. She runs circles around me with her Ace 250.
Happy Hunting!

I enjoy hunting older sites where silver may be, when I hunt newer sites where jewerly is not likely , I'll hunt 80 or higher.
