And no I don't mean the music genre.

I'm between detectors at the moment, as the one I had as a kid was left behind in a move, and the one I want is never in stock from any reputable dealer. I once found a glass jar with a folding knife, a ten dollar bill, and a stick of Big Red cinnamon chewing gum inside. This was in the early 1990s in the woods of Southern New Jersey.

In related hobbies, I've pulled some interesting things while magnet fishing in 1995-2005. Back then, strong magnets were hard to find, so I couldn't always recover everything that clicked. I've clicked on two safes, one was empty and broken (not worth salvaging) and the other slipped off the magnet and couldn't be found again. I've found ammunition, knives, and non-valuable jewelry. All cool things, but no major scores. Yet.
