  • Please join me exploring and metal detecting a friends property deep in the woods of Virginia, in the hopes of finding a Civil War bullet or two, we discover an old gold mining operation from many years gone by. We do find some artifacts from that era and also managed to squeak out a Civil War relic. Check out the three carving near the end of the video...lol. The unedited version can be found on my Chigg's Army facebook page somewhere.

      @michiganmagneto 4 роки тому +1

      As of right now, I'm on a tight budget and work a lot. Not a whole lot of free time. So I bought a cheap MD3010ii off of ebay. So if I never stuck with the Hobby I wouldn't cry for losing a lot of money. I'm not overly impressed with my machine. I did happen to see that Costco has a Discovery 3300 detector for about $100 and it had quite a few features. Made in the 🇺🇸. Good reviews on UA-cam. Definitely better than the one I have.

    • @pictlandpickers1171
      @pictlandpickers1171 4 роки тому +1

      Time is an issue. I end up going out in the dark with a head torch after work. Well if you think the hobbies for you save up and get a simplex best detector under $400. Think its $250 over there. Warranty excellent

      Unfortunately,, my wife is disabled and I am a truck driver. So when I get home I usually have a whole list of things to do. Pair that up with a quite a few medical bills on top of regular bills means not much fun time for me. I would definitely like to get a fully submersible machine someday. I got a lot of waters nearby that I would like to detect. So in the meantime, I'll have to watch everybody else on UA-cam. Thanks for your input and suggestions.

    I'm going to a waterfall when soon.Probably the first frost to dangerous to go now. No one has ever been there and I'm going to pan it to. Many rattle snakes in the area. And to far from medical help. But I do have permission. Even the land owner has only seen it once in 30 years. Plus it is on the trail of tears. I've already uncovered a different site where many years of tribes would make the tools. Good luck chigger. Happy hunting.
