Howdy y'all.
couple years ago we purchased a house on acres with a very neglected farm house, the paperwork says part of it was from the 1920's,and added on to in the 60's. and years ago my Grandfather (rip) pointed out where the old road ran, it just so happens it makes a corner on the edge of my yard,i have approx 150 yards of it on my place, since I've moved here I've discovered a older house place that has been dozed up into a pile.
so for Christmas i mentioned to my wife i would like a metal detector. she works for a "major department store chain" and she had a budget. i wound up with a Bounty Hunter QDII. it came with the carry case and the pin pointer witch i read on several places is not that great.
now i can only sit and watch the snow fall. right up the road is a old house place that we ride through and pick blackberries at, the house is almost fallen it, I've been ITCHING to go at it,
I live just a quick ATV ride from my parents place. I can only image what hot wheel cars I've left in the yard. there was also a burnt house place there too, but it was leveled off when they built the new house.
I was able to take it out on Christmas day twice for a few minutes on all metal. seems there is a target about every 2 feet. found about 8 pieces in less than 10min. only thing worth keeping was a steel flat washer. one problem with the back yard i created myself, we shoot ALOT in the back yard. esp .22 . one evening we had a contest who could shot the most walnuts off the tree. at least they won't be deep.
gotta go, the dog just farted......
