Glad I found this site
I am brand new to this site. I came here trying to find answers about neighborhood "public" parks. I am not asking for answers I will try the search area first. I just got a garret ace 350 and have been practicing in my back yard. I have gotten really good at pinpointing with it and digging just very small holes. I also bought the garret pro pointer and that thing is awesome.
I saw on another site that public schools are ok to detect at,as long as there are no sighns saying that you cant. I hope thats right. I will make sure before I go there. Anyway I am home inspector and I can get access to a lot of fresh cleared land where there will be homes built. I was in one today and asked the builder if he minded me walking around with my detector and he said sure go for it so I did. There was a small sort of a park area with a few old trees and just one park bench under a tree. I got a signal about a foot behind the bench and it was a large signal. I thought is was going to be another flatened beer can but I am new and started to did it up. About 4 inches down and I find a black trash bag wraped around some kind of metal box. I started thinking that I was digging up some kids dead pet. Then I noticed that there was yellow writting on the box and I knew it was an ammo box. Now I am wondering if I found a gun,ammo,dead pet,drugs? It had roots that had grown over the box about as big as my thumb so I knew it was not too new. I git it dug out and opened it up and inside were birthday cards,valentine cards and they were in perfect condition,like they were burried an hour ago. The cards were ment for a man,like you would get from your girlfriend or wife. I dont know if I will offend anybody here by saying this but there were also private nude home photos of a women in the box. I dont know why anybody would ever burry something like that. The only place that I found a date was on the photos dated 2004. I dont how long it takes for oak tree roots to grow to thumb size. The trash bag would crumble in your hand and the ammo box had some rust on it but not to bad. It did have a rubber seal around the top. And the inside of the can had zero rust and not even a scratch. Well at least I now have a great box to keep all the rusty coins I am finding in.
