metal detecting
Scanning for coins
Metal detecting is the hobby or practice of using a handheld electronic device to locate buried metal objects—coins, jewelry, relics, or artifacts hidden underground.
Enthusiasts scan beaches, fields, and historic sites: He spent Saturday morning metal detecting in the old fairgrounds.
The activity combines treasure hunting with outdoor exercise, though finds are usually mundane.
