    62 Cents Worth

    I believe a lot of my fellow detectorist will be able to relate to this. It

    I too am addicted to the beep

    I just could not let the last day of the year go by and not go out and try to finish off my nice collection of rings with a nice platinum ring. It was a beautiful sunny day, little to no wind and the temperature was around 16 degrees (I am addicted). :clapping: Boise had received around an inch...

    Trying to Impress

    I found the oval ring a couple of weeks ago and thought about posting it but figured it was not that impressive. A week later I found the plain silver ring and thought it was a nice ring but still not too impressive. Today I found the 14K gold ring and figured this would impress the E-Trac...

    Another Non-Shabby Day

    Found my first Titanium ring today. I found it in the general vicinity that I found the Tungsten Carbide ring yesterday, and it is the same size I wonder how close I came to it yesterday. My display was showing 12-11 and I could see the ring in the dirt. We are suppose to get our first snow...

    Not too Shabby

    Was able to get out for a quick hunt and was rewarded with this. This is my first Tungsten ring, lucky for me my friends batteries went dead otherwise he probably would have gotten it. He got one of these rings about a month ago that fit me real nice but without the stone, this one is too...

    Is it a Coin or Medallion?

    I realize the pictures do not make it easy to help with the identification and I am not sure if this is a coin or a medallion. The hole in the top makes me believe it is a medallion, the only date I can see is 1797. The coin/medallion has George Washington

    Hunting Soft Sand

    I would like to ask for suggestion on hunting in soft sand. There is a very sandy beach on a nearby lake that gets used heavily in the summer. Sometimes the boats are lined up right next to each other on the beach, which is about 500 yards long. I have hunted it with my Excalibur a couple of...

    ATV/UTV

    I live in Boise Idaho where there are tons of off road areas just waiting for me to detect. The Oregon Trail runs right through town and there are still miles of dirt roads that the pioneers used, you can still see the ruts from the wagons. The local foothills have 3 abandon mines that I know...

    Nickels

    Last December a fellow member got a great discussion going on nickels. Since then I have been working more on my nickel count and it has gone up. It

    Fine Spring Day

    Spring has definitely arrived in southern Idaho. My friend and I went down to a swim area on the Snake River where we had permission to metal detect. I suited up to do some detectin in the water with my Excalibur and my friend stayed on dry land with his V3. While I was busy recovering what...

    Can Your Machine Find This?

    Neither can mine. I was working a sandy ledge at one of our local reservoirs when I spotted this sticking out of the sand. Since I found it while using my detector does it count? I suppose I need to ask BarnacleBill:shrug:

    Just Missed It

    I forgot to mention that I asked for help about a month ago. My friend's wife gave him the V3 with wireless headphones for Christmas (good wife) and he was having some problems getting used to it. As you can see he is getting the hang of it. I have to admit, the V3 is a pretty nice piece of...

    Just Missed It

    My buddy and I were able to hit a couple of parks today. I had just gone through this area with my Minelab E-Trac and picked up around 6 dimes and some pennies and must have come within inches of this. Needless to say, I am kicking myself for not getting it but glad my friend got it. Just goes...

    Spectro-Midex

    One of the local metal detector dealers in my town recommended that I take my finds to Gem State Gold and Silver in Boise. The owner has a Spectro-Midex machine that can tell you exactly what type of metal you have. One of my rings measured 14.37 kt and the percentage of gold was 59.86. So he...

    Bummed

    I just got back from a couple of different places that buy gold and silver and was disillusion with the fact that some of my great finds are worthless as far as they are concerned. Some of the items I am not completely surprised but was hopeful they had some value. I would like some advice...

    Excalibur Ergonomical Setup

    I would like some suggestions on a better setup for my Excalibur. I find the stock setup extremely tiring when trying to move the coil back and forth in the water. Wrapping the extra cable around the shaft just creates more resistance in the water. I have the hip mount for the control box but...

    Just wondering

    I was wondering if this has ever happen to you. You pinpoint a target, randomly set your detector down only to have it scream in your ear with another and better target. I found my 1st and only mercury dime this way. I also have found quite a few more coins with my Garrett pin pointer this...

    1st Rings with Excalibur

    The Boise River finally gave me something besides car keys and slimy sunglasses today. I was in a section of the river today that has a lot of sand and gravel which is rare, usually there is a lot of rocks. My first find was the gold ring (10K) it was sticking out of my sand scoop when I pulled...
