boy, am I glad I shelled out for the professional class metal detector. it has completely transformed my early morning/weekend beach visits. once upon a time I was mostly finding bottle caps and loose change. now its a whole new ball game. just this past weekend I found, buried maybe two feet deep by the boardwalk, a huge metal screw type thingie. thing is, it didn't resemble any screw I'd ever seen before, it was ungodly heavy and had absolutely no rust or tarnish. that's not the weirdest thing though. this screw thingie actually seemed to move by itself. I know that sounds hard to believe and was almost certainly just the super powerful magnets from my metal detector moving it around. whatever the explanation, it felt like a mexican jumping bean, like it had somewhere to go. my goal was to take the thing to an appraiser and see if I could get some real cash for it, but wouldn't you know it somebody stole the thing from the back seat of my car. I left it there for just a few minutes so I could grab my starbucks order, and in that short time someone smashed the window and swiped my cool find. the one bright side here is that most of the broken glass landed outside the car, so I didn't have to spend literal hours fishing tiny glass shards out of my carpeting. |

Hey so crazy coincidence I was walking with my new metal detector at the beach as well and heard a strange vibrating humming noise, then my MD-250 went off like crazy and I dug out a huge metal door under the sand with a strange keyhole in the center. Then all of a sudden some crazy kid must have snuck up on me and played a trick because I fell unconscious and had this crazy dream about "The Gate" being opened.

I've found so many genie bottles I don't know what to do with the drat things. genies are assholes anyway, they live to gently caress with you, so I gently caress with them right back. my first wish is always for more wishes, causing them to roll their eyes back and monologue about how I can't do that, I'm not taking this thing seriously, etc etc. I nod, act like I understand, ask some basic questions, then for my second wish I wish for more wishes again.

here's a weird one: cans of soup. not old empty cans, newish unexpired full cans of soup buried inexplicably deep. they taste fine and my food costs have gone way down, but seriously, who the gently caress is burying all this soup under every drat beach I visit, and why do they like campbell's chicken and stars so much? actually that last one is easy to explain, it's obviously the best soup.

As a wise man once said, metal detectors combine the two greatest American qualities: Garbage and luck.

When it first started, metal detecting was an exciting new hobby. You could find cool stuff every time you went out. But as time went on and it got more popular, and it was determined that the 99% of the landmass British Isles is composed entirely of old Roman coins, the novelty kind of wore off. |

The babies are perfectly fine which is also a little strange considering how deep they're buried |

Day 1: Huge find today, I think. Major beeps from the MD. Dug a few inches and found some kind of perfect rod, extending downward, of a very shiny, smooth metal. Oddly clean, as soon as I brushed the mud away it was pristine as if it had been washed. I dug down about a foot around it but didn'tg find the bottom, couldn't even make it budge with all my strength. Couldn't get much deeper with a trowel, decided to cover it up and come back tomorrow with a full shovel etc. Day 2: Strange dreams last night. Anyway I dug down 5 feet on all sides and this thing just keeps going, perfectly straight. Quite a thing to see. Exhausted. Covered with tarp and Day 3: Troubled dreams last night. Didn't sleep much. Couldn't leave the site so I slept on the ground beside it. Enlisted the help of my neighbor with a truck. He hitched a chain to the thing and pulled. Weird thing is his whole engine blew, even though the chain should have broken long before any damage to the truck. Must have been ready to go. Chain is now stuck badly to the pillar, and has become mysteriously clean, shiny, and smooth. Day 4: Neighbor and I both slept on the ground next to the tarp, or should I say, we laid awake a while there. Preferable anyway to the dreams I had during my brief moments of sleep. Today we dug down to about 10 foot depth by hand. Many rocks to remove. A few utility lines, ha ha. Still not budging. City officials asked us what we were doing in the park, and when we explained and showed them, they joined our efforts. Guess they're into the hobby too. Nice folks. Day 8: Sorry didn't write in a while. Hundreds of people from around town now encamped. Hole getting really deep, not sure of depth but ropes and ladders have been erected. At night we hear a strange humming in the sound of each others voices, as if all the other folks are joined in some eerie tune, but nobody fesses up to singing. I know I wasn't humming, how could I with how sore my throat has been the last few days.

My teenage daughter calls me as she gets settled into the place she will stay at for her vacation: "Dad.. They took her" "Follow my instructions very carefully. They will come for you and they will take you. Make your way to the bedroom, quietly. Wrap yourself in as many metallic objects as you can find. Bracelets, necklaces, anything metallic. Aluminum and steel are best. Call out any valuable jewelry you see them wearing." |

Make sure you don't accidentally end up metal detecting on protected park land. At least in America that is a big time crime. And if you find something that could be historically relevant consider making a gps note for posterity. Also I don't understand why I keep finding angry spooky skeletons whenever I metal detect. I guess it is because they often have big old swords? Tired of getting attacked. Any necromancers around?

How are you all finding such exciting things? I just keep finding ancient gold jewellery that's all dirty and broken and frankly, far from tasteful. How the hell do you even pronounce 'torque'?? Would kill for a mysterious pole right now.
