One of my younger friends bought one. Like all dreamers he figured he would find a lot of treasures.

He had a can that he picked up all finds, and kept putting the finds in a bigger can. It was a small oil drum full of bottle caps, pull tabs, soda cans, food cans, screws, nails, and other construction debris. He found a few modern era, face value only coins and it is not yet a dollars worth.

He did find one metallic rock he thinks is a meteorite, and it might well be, but it is the size of a Hershey Kiss.

I have never bothered. I have dug many holes, and put in a full sprinkler system in my yard. All I have found is construction trash and rocks and sand-stones. My neighborhood was a farmers wheat field in up until the early 1990s. Before that it was just prairie. The native Americans were a stone age peoples, and never even saw metal until the white man came.

I love the British series called Time Team that is on Amazon. They often go to a site and discover artifacts from over 4,000 years of occupation of a site. Neolithic, bronze age, iron age, Roman era, to continuous occupation to the modern era. No chance of that here. There are very few building from the 1880s and nothing much before that in Oklahoma.
