I'd get one
There's some that don't cost so much that you can
get your feet wet with
I used to have a middle of the road unit, but I
don't know if it wasn't sealed so great or what.
It grew the dreaded green fuzzy corrosion all
inside and died a horrible death.
I found a good bit of decent stuff ( no pirate treasures)
Bunches of coins. The usual junk stuff.
Good tools. Found a place where someone had
piled his broken hammers and hatchets instead
of putting new handles in.
I'd like to get another someday. Probably a
Garrett
I hope you saved those hammer and axe heads . The axe heads in particular can be very valuable to collectors if in good enough shape to be reconditioned. I have found hundreds of them over the years and most were still usable . I sold a good number of them ( cleaned up ) for over $100 each and many for $25-$50 each. Treasure comes in all shapes and sizes .
