Any Metal Detector Users?

I was wondering if anyone else has a metal detector. It's a fascinating hobby if you can find a place to look for lost items. I have a quart jar that's about half full of old coins I have found. I mostly search around old house sites. Some people find gallon jars full of silver dollars that have be buried, guns , and everything else you can imagine. I found a old cap gun one time. A friend found a revolver buried in a church yard . Detectors are very popular around the old battle sites, where a lot of musket parts and lead bullets can be found.

    i have one but in all my searches all i ever find is pull tabs and beer cans. once did find a old stove that was intact buried in a ravine probably a mile or more from any house. when i dug it up it appeared to be a metal chest, man i thought i found the mother lode.
