Then on sunday I gave my detector to one young kid whose parents just divorced and who was very fond of the machine when I let him search with it. Today bought a proper metal detector (had used that cheap crappy one for two years). Searched and walked ten meters when got a signal and found that 5cm diameter and 376g weight iron ball.
Best thing I ever found with cheap Radio Shack (RIP) metal detector was half of a rusty old roller skate buried in my parents' back yard.

And contest entry coming soon(TM).
