Dirt Fishing Ohio - Metal Detecting Videos

-


Dirt fishing is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.  I guess that's what I love the most about this hobby, the excitement of what I might find next.  You don't have to look too hard to find buried treasure, no matter what town you live in.

 On a good permission, you can find a handful of coins in just a few hours.   Doing your research before you head out is what makes the difference.  Hunting beaches and playgrounds are great for learning your machine and there is always a chance you find coins and jewelry but if you're ready to do some serious coin shooting you've got to hunt old dirt.  A buddy of mine once told me there is more currency in the ground than in circulation.  Whether this is true or not I don't know, but it sure does make you think.   Just imagine how much change has been dropped by millions of people over hundreds of years and it's just waiting for you, the cool guy with the metal detector, to come and find it.   Gets you stoked to go out and do some dirt fishing, doesn't it?

Loket Castle, Czech Republic Loket castle is a gothic style 12th-century castle.  I have come today to visit the dungeon where I can view all types of medieval torture devices. Torture Chamber The Rack The rack, a human stretching device, imagine the sound of joints popping out of there sockets.  In addition to the unimaginable pain of being stretched to pieces, the victim was often poked and prodded with hot pokers and other tools. The Iron Maiden The Iron Maiden, a coffin-like device, the inside lined with spikes that were just long enough to pierce the skin, not long enough to puncture vital organs.  The intent was torture, not death Red Hot Poker Medieval torture devices varied greatly in their complexity.  Some were as simple as the ol' red-hot poker and others, like the breaking wheel seen below, were meant to torture and then display the victim to an eager crowd in the town square. ...
