ive always wanted a metal detector but my parents never got me one, they claimed that all it would do was find rubbish.
I love it, it's fun! the only reason you would find trash is if you buy a trashy detector from radio shack or something. That one i posted is probably $500+. I have one that is said to be a $300 one but i got it from ebay for $81. It's good it has bars that shows how close to the metal you are and what it is. It has a trash eliminator so your not picking up pop tabs. I keep it on money lol and it shows you if it's 1 cent 5 cent dime, quarter, and half dollar. some times it picks up larger objects and assumes it is money but it's not. Only happens a few times.

Have you ever actually found anything of real worth with it?

Not lately but when i was little i found a gold ring in a park with my dad. And my dad found a metal licence! It was punched down so i'm suspecting it's really old. It's the little things just a hobby nothing hard core. Best thing is going over a piece of land where there was a war or battle and see what you find or really old land. I like that kind of stuff.
