Hi,
Even though I go out at times and use the metal detector, a lot of my time for exercise is riding 20-30 miles each day. Often, it's a decision of riding or detecting and the riding usually wins out. I posted a few pictures of the finds I have found this year while riding. I don't stop for everything, but at times I tell myself I am going to find one coin while riding.
Today was interesting, went on my second ride of the day and I was going up an overpass in town and noticed a dark penny in the road. I always think to myself, should I keep going or turn around. This time I turned around -no cars coming-very important, and I stopped and it's a wheat penny 1941, then a foot away another one that I missed a 1955 wheat penny. This is a first, I think of 40 plus years of riding? Maybe can't remember everything, the best was finding four twenty dollar bills together.
The big one this year a few weeks ago is that Apple watch. I have found about 4-5 working small tablet phones and/or cell-
phones over the last 6 years.
I thought it would be cool if we could start a thread/post of finds without a metal detector. I often find a bunch of screw drivers, sheet-rock knives, nails, which I throw off the road to prevent flats etc.
