    Happy Thanksgiving Beau. I carry a hard plastic trowel with me just so I don't have to use my hands to dig out the holes. I can hold a pile of dirt in it and put that in front of the search coil. Saves on the cut up fingers. 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    As always, loving you bringing us on your adventures! I've never metal detected before but I'm considering getting a rookie detector over the holidays. My in-laws live on an 1800's homesite/farm/mill, have lived there for over 30 years, and they think metal detecting the property would be fun. Definitely gotta go with a more inexpensive detector as I don't know what kind of detecting I'd do other than their property, and I'm a broke wildlife ecologist, but I'm kinda committed to this idea. Anyone have tips for reputable/decent detectors on a budget? No need for lots of bells and whistles, haha!

    • @gregorybarr6112
      @gregorybarr6112 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have a Garrett AT Gold and an AT Pro both are great machines. I bought them on EBay a few years ago at different times. I find them very reliable and for the money I paid half the cost of new. I live in Ontario Canada and can only metal detect about 7 months of the year. I would recommend a Garrett machine to be adequate for your needs. I hope you find something cool!

    First I ever heard of Tombac so I copied and pasted what it consists of, hope you don't mind.
    Wikipedia:
    Tombac
    Tombac, as it is spelled in French, or tombak, is a brass alloy with high copper content and 5-20% zinc content. Tin, lead or arsenic may be added for colouration. It is a cheap malleable alloy mainly used for medals, ornament, decoration and some munitions. In older use, the term may apply to brass alloy with a zinc content as high as 28-35%.
