Had one as a teenager and found $20 or so in change over a week or two while on vacation at a lake resort.

Bought one a few years back (a White mf'd unit) and have taken it to the beach on vacation. Most valuable find has been a mans silver ring and bracelet.

Buddy of mine bought a top of the line detector and took it specifically to older high schools and search baseball/football fields, etc. He's found dozens of rings - many rather pricey.
