Anyone out there coinshoot or dirtfish?

[Mykyl]

Do you mean metal detect by coinshoot? If so I used to. Found items from the Bronze age right through Celtic, Roman, Medieval to the modern day.

 

Some of my old finds here.

So is this what you were asking about? Do you do it?

[maladee]

I think that is what the OP was asking, I looked up dirtfish it does have something to do with metal detecting .

 

 Wow that is nice Mike, I wanna do something like that, is it a expensive device you must get? I could get one used I suppose lol

Why yes I do it every free moment I get. I have approximately $2000 tied up in two detectors. However I only get about 15 min a day maybe. On weekends after service and meetings I try to hunt

What would you recommend for a newbie? what brand of detector?

[4th Generation]

That's amazing! I love this kind of stuff. Lucky you being able to do it.

[Hammerhead]

A whites, or fisher f2 or Garrett ace 250. Also check eBay. I would stay with lower end detectors to make sure you like the hobby before investing in an expensive one. One of my detectors cost 1500. But I use it all the time

[Hammerhead]

Ace 250 is a pretty good unit...pm me about those units
