Two years ago my son's choral group was raising funds for their trip to Italy. I offered 3 hours of detecting services and someone paid $60 for it! Actually there were 2 people who were bidding against each other. I got to detect the oldest property in my town several times. It was fun and I got to keep a large cent and barber dime I found. Unfortunately I didn't find anything else of value or even any good artifacts.
Last week we had the same auction and again I offered services. This time $100 was paid and again there were 2 people bidding against each other. So when it was all done I asked the 2nd highest bidder if they wanted to purchase it as well and he did!! So now I"ll get 2 private properties to hunt and make some new connections. Hopefully they will let me do some detecting for myself after the 3 hours like the other people did. One of the properties has some local history that I already am aware of. Can't wait!
