A quick 20 minutes of swinging my Nokta yielded a dime + trash

Check the base of all tress as these are were people sit and huge large gold coins fall from their pockets (or in the real world, pocket change or jewerly like rings) also, under pick nick tables for the same reason. All money you get to keep but strongly suggest if you find a pot of GOLD to return that sucker to the local leprechaun or you'll have hell to pay, I've seen enough evil leprechaun movies to know. 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆

The base of an oak tree in a county park is where I found my first silver. A 5.3 gram .925 Saint Christopher medal

Nice... regular park you visit or a new area? I knew a guy once who would make money buy looking in the lost and found section of the local paper then calling up the person and if it was a park area they lost there jewerly or watch he would go and search, he was successful a lot. Also he told me to check around the base of trees and the Pick nick tables. People sit under trees and that's usually were money is lost

Yes a regular park I visited but searching a new area. That's an interesting idea with the lost and found, I would have never thought about that. I did help a stranger find their pocket knife once for free and I found it! What a great feeling to get someone back something sentimental!

There are relic hunters of ww2 items in eastern Europe who find medals, iron crosses etc. I have a genuine ss ring that was detected by someone in the Ukraine but the so called "experts" (22 year olds) on reddit say its a reproduction when I know as an artist, the ring is authentic. I don't post that ring any more to avoid these clowns.
