metal detecting

I just bought this metal detector that can detect metal and gold for a mile. It is like a radar gun and can see very far. I want to track the gold that was lost during the civil war here in America and never found. I also want to do the river islands from the shore line, If I get a hit then I will get my feet wet.

There is only 1 of these types built in the world. They are the best.
