    U.S. Die error coin:clapping:

    I was able to get out and enjoy several hours of pounding the ground at our local recreation area. It was the usual finds, pulltabs, poptops, and torn aluminum cans:rant:. The clad was hard picking but I managed to dig some, due to the age of the town, built in 1954-1958. I always check the clad...

    Starting to get the ground thaw :clapping:

    The ground is starting to thaw finally up here in Northern Minnesota:clapping:! Snow is still in the low spots and the north sides with the frost just below. I can only detect the southern exposures, anyplace else, get the dynamite out. Temps been hanging around the mid 40's and dropping to...

    Vision vs beaver tails and pull tabs?

    With all the technology:nerd:, we still have to resort back to the old school ways, dig, dig and dig. I do remember making long chains out of beaver tails, I guess they have a use.:rofl:

    Vision vs beaver tails and pull tabs?

    From the rave and reviews, the new Whites Vision detector is looking like a high tech machine. Whites video clips are impressive along with the promoting. One thing that I can't find on the testing of the Vision are the beaver tail and the pull tab readings. Maybe I missed them in the forums...

    Value in Pesky Pennies

    Everybody picks up current clad from the beaches, playgrounds and parks, but do you if there is a value to it? There are a number of fairly valuable U.S. error coins and die varieties in circulation today. These coins are overlooked. It may be a modest doubling of the coin image, differences in...

    Adjustable 180 meter mount on S shaft?

    I'm running to a slight problem of seeing the meter on the S shaft of the Sov Elite, with the V mount bracket. Has anybody come up with a better system to make it easier to read. Possibly something with a swivel for left and right hand operation and tilt. I have a S-1 probe being mounted on the...

    Still working........

    the local swimming hole. I was able to get out for several hours to work the shallows. The beach is still producing clad and jewelery. Popped two rings, one with silver and gold weave and the other I'm not quite sure of, I think it's brass, the ring didn't clean up like gold. There wasn't any...

    Has anyone made a grid system for water detecting?

    I was thinking of using pcv piping for a grid. The piping needs to be drilled with holes and possibly weighted. Is there any other methods to keep your location? On land I use stakes and a light rope if needed but it's hard to run rope in shallow water between 3 to 5 feet. I'm using mask and...

    43 years later......

    the 1963 class ring[attachment 31656 1963class ring.jpg] that was found on July 23rd was returned to the rightful owner. He lost it in 1963 right out of high school one evening at the swimming hole. Tracking down the owner didn't take very long today. One phone call to the high school to find a...

    beach finds

    I was able to get out for a couple hours today to work a local beach. The ice is just going out and the frost is letting up. The rain and wind kepted up with temps around 40 degrees. I found the water table was down about 10 feet so I worked the lower section next to the water. Not too bad for...

    How effective is the 1280X on mineralized ground?

    I Just picked up a used 1280x for water and some land detecting. The ground here has heavy iron minerals and was wondering about the performance in such conditions.:shrug: It seems to do alright on some testing but I'm limited to more testing do to the snow that is still here. The snow melt is...

    spear point

    This copper spear point is something all of us would like to find. It is from a private collection and was found on a farm in the early 1970's in northeastern ND. The owner is looking for a price value on the spear point. Does anyone know prices or books on this kind of item? This is authentic...
