Be careful where you scrape. Federal lands are a no-no, especially National Parks. Former business buddy and long time 220D owner was a hard core Civil War reenactment buff that lived in MD. He would scrape areas immediately outside of the parks and battlefields, especially creek and river beds/banks. Amazing stuff he found, like lead shot, buttons, belt buckles, etc.
You see lots of bluehairs on the beaches around here early in the morning looking for lost stuff. They have a loosely knit fraternity of sorts that will purposefully search for stuff people lost in an effort to find and return it. That’s pretty cool. -D > On Feb 3, 2018, at 6:13 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > So my dad has been prodding me for like 2 years to get a metal detector.
