Metal detectors are a great way to find coins and other valuable objects. I just finished my 24th yr of metal detecting. In the past I've found MANY silver coins, gold & silver rings, and odd semi-valuable items. I've paid for my detector ($1100) many times over through the years.

Yes, but have you found any gold nuggets Goose?

During my metal detecting days, I was able to find just a little over 28,000 coins.

Many of my four kilos of scrap silver came from detecting.

I haven't found any gold nuggets.....no gold around here. Saloon tokens bring high prices. I sell tokens and keep coins. Token sales over the yrs brought over $2000.
