My 1st metal detecting hunt in about a month

In the past 26 days I haven't had a chance to get out at all to metal detect, so the other day I had a few hours to kill so I called around to see if anybody was going detecting. Two of my detecting buddies were going to meet up for a few hours of swinging and invited me to come along for the ride. The site was an old farm that was torn down back in the 1940's and has since overgrown into a thick forest preserve full of trees and thorn bushes. Right off the bat I found that it was slam packed with the usual rusty nails, barbed wire, tin cans and what not. Well after I guess 4 hours the only thing that was in my pouch was junk, one of my buddies found a 1947 silver dime, and my other buddy had nothing either. We wound up calling it quits for the day, even hough I didn't swing my metal detector over any old coins I was still happy that I had a chance to get out and hunt for a bit.

This is something new that im getting into



I haven't had the time to do any metal detecting for about a month now so I have been playing with more advanced video editing. I made this special effects using Adobe After Effects CS5 and Magix Movie Edit Pro 15. I have to say I'm having a lot of fun making these weird talking coin videos, let me know what you think of it as a comment below. Hahaha

Plan Your Metal Detecting Trips

When you’re going out metal detecting it’s always a good idea to have a backup site or two just encase your first site is a bust or if your site is unavailable to hunt. Now I’m not saying to just abandon a metal detecting site after 20 minutes, but if you’re not having any luck at your first site it couldn’t hurt to try your luck elsewhere. It doesn't make any since to just quit metal detecting for the day just because one site was a blowout, so be prepared and have a backup plan.
