good responsible lesson in detecting mate nice one:) always remember "DONT BE A MOLE FILL IN YOUR HOLE"lol
Cool! I don't have a metal detector, but my friend does, and we go searching for arrows at the archery range. I know this is random, but I just found $5 on the ground an hour ago.

lol lucky. I once found 20 that someone left in an ATM. I have checked them ever since. arrows at the archery range is a great idea. I always shoot til I run out. you could sell them for 3 bucks apiece.
can you post some images of your bro's best finds? that would be really cool and im sure he'd like so share!!

dude, keep your eye out for iron meteorites...... they're more common that you'd think
What an odd but sensible subject... nice instructable, only point I'd like to make is that the beach means less effort...

What model MD do you have? I have a Bounty Hunter 101, or some kind of beginner model. Do lacrosse balls have a lead core or something? Why would they show up as metal? I even found some old broken pottery once. It must have had a lead glaze because there was nothing else in the hole.

My brother has a Bounty Hunter Sharp Shooter II as well. The lacrosse balls don't have a metal core, I just put them up because we found them while we were metal detecting. It was sort of ironic because we found 25 cents and a keychain with the metal detector, while finding 6 lax balls with our eyes.

COOL! I am also into metal detecting (over 10 years now).
Just a few tips. You might want to include how to make a good clean trapdoor plug for deep targets.
Here is a video of it that I made a long time ago... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqRyBlS8220
Also...the use of a handheld pinpointer can help you find the target in the hole easier without tearing up the ground as much. You can also find the target a lot quicker with a handheld pinpointer (the "vibrapprobe" seems to be the most popular pinpointer, but I prefer to use an old whites bullseye 120mm pinpointer)
And a more precision hand trowel (like the lesche digger or predator tools digger) will allow you to cut into the ground much easier than a regular garden trowel (see plug cutting video link above)

No problem! And just to let you know, my Instructables Robot Toy Figure Instructable will be up soon! Not today, maybe Monday. I'm not sure.

That should look sweet. And I am guessing you are making it with sculpey, which will make it easy for others to make.

You are right.
I am trying to keep it a secret!
Do you think my Instructable for that will get unpublished if I just post on how to make the head right now? And then I post the body, legs, arms, and wheels and stuff later? (They will be two different Instructables, Part 1 and Part 2.) I finished the head, and I can't do the body because they ran out of yellow Sculpley at the store, so I bought this different brand, and it sucks. Kind of. =/

My opinion is that you should post it all as one Instructable. Include all well-developed steps, good pictures, and it should be an awesome Instructable.

Yeah, but I want to post it soon because people are expecting it. *cough* Kiteman. *cough*.
I'll try to see what I can do.
I'm actually posting an Instructable right now, I'll tell you when it's done!
