Rant: I spent $250 on a metal detector for my yard and it either found a cool old button or wasted my weekend.

I mean, I found a 1920s blazer button which is neat, but idk if that justifies the cost and hours digging up bottle caps, so has anyone else had a detector pay off or just drive you nuts?

Claire's right about the modern trash, but that button is actually a solid find. My buddy spent twice that and mostly digs up pull tabs from the 70s. At least you got a piece of history and not just a sore back.

What did you expect to find in your yard? Most people just have modern trash and maybe a few old coins. The button is a decent find for a suburban backyard.
