    Indiana hunting....."turn in your finds at State parks". You're kidding me

    Just got my new MarkII this week. Decided to try out a new spot not to far from me. Its a Ind. state reservoir, Mississinawa Reservoir. I had already went online to the DNR site and found out it was legal to hunt beach areas at our Ind. state parks/reservoirs. But can't hunt the rest of the...

    Black coil hard to see in dingy H2O, make it white on top?

    Anyone every paint or put white electrical tape on their black coil so they can see it better in dingy or stained freshwater? I would think it would make it easier to place the scoop in the right place instead of having to nugged the scoop up against the coil to find the spot to dig. I would say...

    First run with my UW XL500, Braclet was my first find

    I started MDing 2-3 months ago with a Ace 300, then bought a Ace 250 from Kellys. After that I wanted a UW tector but couldn't afford the good ones. So I bought a cheap one from wallmart online for $98. It lasted 1/2 hr under water, sent it back. I now see Walmart selling them for half that, BUT...

    Whites Coinmaster Series 3 2000/D

    Yes, this is a Garrets forum, but I am a Garretts fan so I thought I would ask here. I just started MDing 2-3 months ago when I got a Ace 300 at a auction for $5.

    Make a land MD sealed or buy a used underwater MD?

    Most in here probably live close to the ocean or have lots of freshwater lakes w/beaches in their area. I can see you guys spending $500 or more for a good underwater MD. But for me I don't have that. Everyone one says buy a good one or don't buy one. Well, there is only one lake with a beach in...

    Newbees first chest deep water hunt

    Been MDing about 2 months, and here in Indiana not many beaches to choose from. Our county campgrounds has a 25 acre lake, a clear water gravel pit that filled in with water back in the late 1800's. It only has about 100yds of beach so its not much. I had been wading knee deep with my Ace 250...

    Gold/Silver rings, do they get a halo like coins in the ground

    Post from many experts in here talk about that halo around a coin thats been in the ground awhile. And if you compare test of an old buried coin compared to a fresh buried coin, the reading on a Ace 250 will not be the same. For testing purposes for myself, to see what buried rings will read. I...

Right now I don't have the cash($300 or more)...

    MDing allot like mushroom hunting and fishin.

    I have only been MDing about 2 months, and to me it seems allot like mushroom hunting and fishin. With room hunting, you can walk around blind in a woods and find nothing. You have to know what areas(trees) to look for to find rooms... Same with fishing, you have to know where to go to find the...

    I mainly hunt late in the evening so most of my areas are very quiet, so I can hear my MD speaker loud and clear. About the only noise I get is from a car passing by every once in a while...But I have read so much about useing headphones I wonder if I am missing some signals. My dumb question...

    In the dark, good way to learn with your ears

    I made a post a week or so ago about attaching a light to my handle so I could see the readout screen. Well, yesterday I went out around 2pm to France Park here in logan. It has a beach, playground, fishing hole, and an old canal running threw it. There is supposed to be an old steam engine down...

    With gold comes allot of tabs and penny's

    To find gold(rings) you have to dig up every tab that shows, right? " You're not finding any gold unless you dig tabs ". Is the saying I have always heard. I have not found any gold rings/coins yet so I really have no experiance on how they show up on my 250. So to test I used my 10K gold...

    New to the board here. I have read a few threads on night hunting and thought I would post my setup. I know pretty much what my ace 250 is telling me by the different beeps. I know most veterans don't need to watch the screen. But I still like to watch what its telling me, so I came up this...
