Any Texans with a Metal Detector?

Wonder if any of the guys on the cleanup were doing the one for you, one for me routine. |

I saw a video about that.
A semi hauling 8 million dimes ($800k) ran off the road, came back, and fell over dumping 8 million dimes on the road. I had one when I was a teen, but wasn't patient enough to find stuff (got discouraged/bored and not methodical enough). I've thought about getting one. I've got several acres of property with a home that was built in the 1920s, so it could have some interesting stuff. But I figured 99.9% of what I found would be nails, screws, washers, pop tabs, farm stuff, etc... Then I'd probably find 18¢ worth of modern coins. I suspect they'd frown on folks rushing out there. I suspect they may miss a few.
