The two I am starting with are both colonial farmhouses built in the 1700's, while on Wednesday both homes were built in the early 1800's. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I...

    Sharing information - postcards

    This may be a wild idea in a hobby where guarding the location of good sites is the norm. However, in this situation I feel that if someone can benefit from what I want to share, then the hobby in general might be better off. In our present age of emails, one form of communication has been left...

    Deeeep Silver

    Perhaps you have pyrite in your soil. When the rain comes into contact with it, it changes into sulphuric acid. [I think that's what happens-my chemistry is limited]

    DIAMONDS! well...maybe not

    If you invest in an older binocular microscope, you can check for carbon spots in the diamonds. All diamonds have them. Even a cheap monocular microscope will work, but its easier with a binocular scope.

    Deeeep Silver

    Do you think it was tannic acid that did the number on the 1950 quarter? Have you tried electrolysis to clean that quarter?

    Deeeep Silver

    That could explain why the silver is tarnished and the penny isn't. Since your soil is mostly sand, it doesn't retain the moisture. Was there construction near the swimming hole that disrupted its source of water?

    Detecting a swim club

    A friend of mine just bought a swim club that was started in 1956. My buddy Jack and I started to metal detect today while the workers were clearing brush. Before it was a swim club it was an old farm. That might explain the large cent I found [no date]. My question is, is my e-trac at a...

    Gold hunting in Idaho

    I have been invited nugget hunting in Idaho. I currently use an E-trac, but realize it probably is not the best machine for the job. Can anyone recommend a metal detector that could be a better solution? Also would you mind sharing the pro's and con's. Thanks

    I have been invited out to visit my cousin in Idaho this summer. I have currently only used my E-trac since January, but with this mild winter we are having in Pa. I have been out detecting just about everyday. Is the E-trac designed to recover gold nuggets or can someone recommend another...

    I just received this message on the Minelab Forum and would like to pass it on: William Gillraker-Guerre 9:16pm Feb 27 Attention all treasure hunters. This Florida senator has just signed off on a bill that was passed under the cover of night, which would make it illegal to metal detect in...

    Using Google maps to find silver

    While checking out Google Maps of a local park, I discovered the shadows of old baseball fields nearby. So my friend Jack [White's V31] and I decided to check them out. Jack found numerous clad, but I found a 1945 Washington quarter and a 1945 Mercury dime in separate holes. The quarter was on...
