Anyone interested in a little treasure hunting?

We are closer than you think, I'm south of the L.I.E in holtsville, and my brother is just north of me on the other side of the L.I.E...I dont have a metal detector yet(unless you count a 1980's cheapo from Radio shack that my 8 year old will be using) but I have been looking on Flea bay for one...

I wish I would have known. I just sold a like new Whites MXT for $450. Thats half the price of a new one... I do have another detector or 2 so when we get together if someone doesn't have 1 yet I can lend them one of mine. 6 years ago at a doctors checkup, my doc told me to get out and do some walking. I didnt think I was in that bad shape! Walking is boring. Walking, detecting and hiking in the woods is fun. I haven't stopped yet.

If anyone is looking to get a new whites, Im good friends with the owner at treasures unlimited in Patchogue. I will be able to get you a discount. Thats where I bought all my machines.

I have a Whites Prizm 3. For me, it works for now. Not a bad machine, but I need to get the hang of what im hearing / seeing. Lately, I seem to find pennies easy enough its that pulltab/ring signet that makes me nuts. To dig or not to dig....

The prizm 3 is a great machine. I also have a prizm 2 as a backup. Unfortunatly, if you want to dig gold, you have to dig those pulltab signals.

My bug right now is silver. "He wants the precious. Always he is looking for it. And the precious is wanting to go back to him... But we mustn't let him have it."
We are gonna try to hit that old schoolhouse land again this weekend. Gotta be something good there. Ive got so many, off the beaten path places to go. Time.....

2 months ago while walking around the neighborhood in flanders, i picked up a 14k gold ring from the street. I had been obviously run over a few x's, but i took it to the consignment shoppe in patchogue and they gave me $70 for it. I guess you could say it was like found money.

So Im thinking after this storm the beaches will be pretty eroded. Might be a good time to metal detect the beaches (whats left of them). Low tide might just turn something up.
