JimT Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: Metal detectors.... I have never done any metal detecting, but have a buddy that is into it. He hits old cemetaries and old roads. He has fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Metal detectors.... [ QUOTE ] I have an older White 5000D. This baby is awesome. I haveeven used it to locate the bullet in the deer as well as find a misplaced arrow in the weeds! [/ QUOTE ] It must have been around 1980 my parents bought me a Whites 6000D. Man I had a blast with that thing. I found some unbelievable stuff. I haven't thought about it in years. It is still up in my parents attic. Might have to go dust it off.

wtnhunt Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Metal detectors.... My step father used to be pretty big into metal detectors. Seems he had a white and a couple I think were the bounty hunter brand. They can be a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Metal detectors.... My son got one a few years back from my dad. It is one of the cheapy ones, but it does work. An added benefit to it is finding arrows that miss the target. I've found more than a couple errant arrows with it. Now that I shoot carbons, I have to be right on top of that arrow's head in order to find it. I think they'd be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
