    Hurricane Jane???

    I've been away on work and reading another treasure water hunting forum on a laptop. I read a few of these like most members. Has anyone been reading the poster Hurricane Jane in that other forum? She was very rough but very funny. I think they banned her. I thought she was the best writer I've...

    Understanding Some of the Magic of the V3's Analysis Screen

    Actually, Aaron, I'm a licensed pilot, have enjoyed the internet since its inception, have just about every electronic gadget in my house that's been invented in the last 50 years. I dig on modern stuff that delivers. But I happen to think the leading-edge metal detector options are largely...

    Understanding Some of the Magic of the V3's Analysis Screen

    Jeff, I found all of that very interesting. But it makes me more appreciative of a good old-fashion machine with good iron discrimination and feathered tones that indicate depth and material type. (to some degree). All in all, I've never trusted a VDI number or any kind of 3D screen. Can't help...

    Great Treasure Book

    Not sure this is the proper place for a book recommendation but here goes. If you like to read (as I do) and want the ideal winter book, find "The Treasure Hunter" by Robin Moore and Howard Jennings. Book was published in 1974 by Prentice - Hall. Robin Moore also wrote "The French Connection"...

    First real test Coinmaster

    Decided to take my new Coinmaster to the local town beach today and ended up staying in the gravel parking lot. Why? I turned the Coinmaster on and immediately hit a quarter next to my car. Then another one. The parking lot is several acres in size and made up of mostly course gravel and sand...

    Probes, yes or no?

    I live a few miles away from a White's dealer and have looked at the detecting probes for around 100 bucks. I've never used one before. Do you folks think these things are worth the effort for coin shooting? And how does the White's probe compare well with other makes? I have not background with...

    Northern beaches and a story.

    I live in a coastal town in northeastern Massachusetts. So I have the option of digging dirt or sifting sand. I tend to spend more time in the dirt mainly because I find more objects, both jewelery and coins. When I was beach hunting more I used a PI machine and still rarely found much of...

    New sound

    Took my new Coinmaster out today even though the ground is frozen solid. Machine worked as I expected and I even found 2 dimes, a nickel and 7 pennies on the very surface. Got many good signals but could not dig at all for the earth was hard as flint. I did use the time to experiment with...

    Cold weather operation

    I've never used a metal detector in the winter time or below 45 degrees F. Will the batteries stay functional below freezing? And will using a detector in the cold be ruinous to its innards on coming into warm indoor air? Condensation is my worry. That and the general delicateness of many...

Have owned a Fisher 1212x and Whites Classic 3 along with a Whites PI Surfmaster in the past. Always enjoyed coinshooting but work and life got in the way, had to stop for awhile. Have...
