I always wondered about going out and metal detecting. I use to do it with a cheap old one I got for 120$. Now I am starting to think about upgrading and getting back out there! This article Really made me think more about it and now I know I have to do it! I spent hundreds of hours going through field and while I didn't find much the fact that I was out adventuring into areas I have never been and going deep into the woods was fun enough for me!
