Detectors will find jewelry and coins and bottle caps- lots of bottle caps.
If you want to try it out go to a playground with sand base and check around the swings, you can find all the bobby pins and barrettes and nails and do a good deed for the neighborhood.
Yeah, I was kind of thinking that there's not going to be a lot of stuff to find here in Alberta, so I guess it would be pretty boring, as opposed to taking it to a coastal area to find more interesting things than bottle caps and nails.
