My girlfriend's dad bought one of those really nice metal detectors a couple of years ago. He never used it so I asked if I could borrow it. I've only had it for a couple of days now, but I'm finding stuff already. I found a stove and the refridgerator and then I went outside and got 3 nails, a bent screw and a blob of rust colored rust.

I've had better luck with mine. I found Jimmy Hoffa from the keys in his pocket. That was kinda cool, but I realized I had no use for him, and left him there. Later I found 74 cents. That was cool.
 
Yeah, I've found quite a bit of change too, but everytime I try to get it the people start freaking out and tell me to get my hands out of their pockets.
 
LOL LMAO ROFL. hahaha. I've never tried metal detecting, but it sounds like fun.
