There were some small civil skirmishes basically where I live and I thought metal detecting could be fun. Does anyone here do it and any advice on a starter metal detector would be great.
We will burn that bridge when we get there

I got one for Christmas two years ago and have yet to use it. My wife occasionally likes to remind me of this.

A guy I used to work with, who now works for the Railroad, is really big into it. He helps beginners and even has a Facebook page called Alabama Diggers, I think. His name is David Hopkins and he is in Valley Grande so he isn't too far from you.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I’ve been metal detecting for about 45 years. Get a mine lab equinox 800. It is a high tech detector that a beginner can use. Probably run you around 1000 bucks. Oh! And I would be glad to come help you find some civil war artifacts!!! So for someone who might be interested, why spend the $1000.00 on a first time detector? What will it do that cheaper ones will not? What are the befits of spending $1000.00 on something that might not be used later? What will it detect material wise, and what will it do or not do? I hoonestly want to know, and not attempting to stir the pot. I’ve often thought about the idea. God Bless, David B

I used to do it a lot. Had a Whites MXT. Found a few good things, old coins, relics, etc but mostly a LOT of trash. Tough on your back digging up trash all day.
There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

This particular detector is great for civil war relics and is simple to use. 1000 dollars is not a ton of money for a quality detector.
