    Partner kicked the bucket!

    A little excitement today when my partner hit the top rim of a galvanized bucket at an old, old home site. The top rim was over a foot deep. Well, when you see that you just know it's a cache reight? Wrong, it was a bust! Nice bucket though, now why was it buried there...

    Gold Bug question

    So, currently saving up for my first Fisher detector which will be one of the Gold Bug models. What I primarily want it for is hunting micro jewely on the dry sand beach and parks/athletic fields. Honestly don't know a lot about these machines but plan to learn. What I'm wondering is which is...

    A days wading in salt water

    A days wading at our favorite lagoon with some friends, not bad really! I'd like to thank the folks who've been tossing coins in there! All three of us did pretty good but my partner with his AT-Pro really hit a honey of a spot and did better then all of us. He just stayed in one small area...

    Why do we do this?

    I just thought this might be interesting. Why metal detecting? What drew you to it, what keeps you at it, what makes it fun? My wife and I came to the hobby as a team and hunt as a team. After more then ten years of severe health issues and being unable to walk, speak or even swallow solid food...

    Got to try the Bill_S trashy park ttf pattern today

    ...and it worked! I've used it a little before but this is the worst conditions i've tried it in. Just spent about an hour on a 100 year old house today. Plan to return. Started with the 13" Ultimate and found a veritable carpet of roofing nails. Switched to the X-5. Still trying to fish through...

    Some short park hunts....

    Was able to put in two short hunts in some modern parks this weekend. Still working on access to some older spots but they are tough around here. This is from 5 1/2 hours total. One park with an AT-Pro and one with an E-trac. Sometimes just knocking out clad is fun! Cell phone picture, sorry for...

    High speed clad killin' :wacko:

    I know, I know, Etracs are for finding nothing but deeply buried old silver, right? Well, today it was for high speed shallow clad killin'. Had a small spot we hit that was covered in shallow clad. Nothing more than 2" deep and my wife was digging targets along with me. This was a grass parking...

    Interesting signal response at the beach

    Was hunting the beach on saturday in a good rain. Figured it was cooler, in fact downright tolerable and I had good rain gear so why not? What happened was I hit what sounded like a good solid quarter and then turn on the iron audio to check and make sure it's not a can, tent stake bottle cap...

    Detech Ultimate on the beach

    Finally got to the beach with the new coil. Daytona beach to be specific. No pictures of mind blowing jewelry or Spanish gold but did find a decent pile of clad. Out of the six hunters I knew of 1 hit a silver chain and the rest of us found junk jewelry and clad. But on to my impressions of the...

    Coin ID, possibly from India?

    OK, I'm stumped. Found this today and tried finding it's like but no luck. Looks like maybe Taj Majal on one side. 7/8

    Never seen one of these before!

    Found this today, rang up as a 12-33 in hot, dry sandy ground. Anyone seen one before? Country of origin? Not sure if the writing is Arabic, Farsi, ??? http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/IMG_20120707_170839.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/IMG_20120707_170956.jpg

    Fresh water lake bottoms

    Well this is how low some of the lakes are http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/IMG_20120617_131445.jpg There should be 5 to 6 feet of water there. Hit a few this weekend. No gold or jewelry but still a fun weekend. Plenty of clad, lot's of lead an few odds and ends and a proper...

    Beach coil

    Well summers here, the beaches are crowded but sanded in something fierce. I would love an Excal, CTX 3030 or CZ-21 but with the economy the way it is my business is probably going to not provide the funds for a new machine. I've searched through the forum about various coils but not seeing much...

    And we thought the new CTX 3030 was pricey

    What do you suppose this bad boy will run and will we ever see it on the civilian side? Imagine a detector with built in ground penetrating radar!!! :surprised: http://www.mfrtech.com/articles/28228.html

    Waterproof blue headphones

    Well, they were hard to find but Indian Nations Detectors had one of the few available pairs for the AT-Pro. Back ordered all over the place! A special thanks to Big Boys Hobbies, they really tried hard! I used them for the first time this weekend thigh deep on a salt water beach. VERY...

    New Smyrna Beach

    I saw you setting up your CTX 3030 and out of the kindness of my heart I didn't bother you but now spill the beans. How did it go? A day with the Etrac on dry and wet sand and an AT-Pro up to thigh deep didn't yield much. That is one sanded in beach. It's the quietest I've ever seen it! Just...
