Pro tip: I scanned a field in Suffolk with my cheap metal detector and found a Roman coin from 270 AD.

I learned that sometimes the simplest gear can find the coolest stuff when you just get out there and walk the grid.

No way, a Roman coin with a cheap detector? That's wild. What kind of field was it, like a plowed farm field or just some random pasture? I always wonder if the good spots are just someone's boring old cow field.

Honestly makes me feel better about my own cheap detector. My best find so far is a 1992 soda can tab.
