Yes.
Crap I've lost in the yard like springs for a swing that fell into an ivy patch.
Living near the beach a lot of people have them. They'll find watches, change, jewelry, stuff like that. I always say i'm going to go mess with it but never have. My father-in-law gave it to me when he got tired of it.
I had one, but I was too cheap to get a decent one.
What I'd like to do someday is to get something that detects radioactivity. My mother picked up a rock one time and kept it in her purse for years. One day, a teacher who was also a geologist, one day brought a Geiger counter. He walked up and down the aisles just showing how it was done. He came to her purse and the man said, "That's uranium!"
I have one that was a leftover from a client promotion. The unit price was about 42 bucks.
I used it today in fact. My house was re-roofed yesterday and I was worried about nails being hard to see in my gravel driveway, thereby puncturing tires. So I got that thing out and swept my driveway. Found four of the suckers.

I guess those things can have a variety of uses besides finding lost treasures.
Used to be big into it a few years ago. Takes alot of time, reward can be slow but makes up for it in the long run. I went out a few weeks ago and found about 75¢ in coins and a bunch of trash. Nice finds are the silver coins but they are rare. If nothing else its good exercise.
Do any of you have the kind with the "discriminating circut"? This allows the detector to tell if it has detected a valuable metal over a nonvaluable metal.
Hmmm. Maybe that's why my cheep detector wasn't discriminating between drink tabs and so forth and more interesting stuff.
