    The Queen of Clad, nickel trifecta, and many green Wheats!

    Dad and I got over to an older section of the city at a vacant lot that we've talked about detecting for a long time. According to the old maps, the house built in 1912 but was torn down in the late 1970s and has been a vacant lot ever since, so this small fact tells me that the lot would be...

    More rental house goodies...

    I spent about 3 hours today at a relatively trash-free house courtesy of Marty. On this house the backyard was very small while the front yard was a standard 55 feet by 40 feet - much like the rest of the post-war neighborhood. Started off in the front yard and found plenty of zincolns in...

    Weekend hunt at an abandoned home in small Missouri town!

    Went to a rural wedding this weekend and got to see some family I haven't visited in 15-20 years. My daughter and I started out from Memphis on Saturday morning, where is was already 85 degrees and humid. The further north we went, the cooler it became - by the time we arrived it was 60 degrees...

    Old map research pays off

    We finally got some rain last night and I spent 3 hours in periodic rain showers enjoying the cooler temperatures and ease of digging! One day last week I was driving the whole 2 miles to work and spotted a driveway that led to a vacant lot...this got my mind going all day, and after work I...

    Just one goodie!

    Last hunt I went back to the faithful fairgrounds and was considering tweaking the 4 kHz program I run most of the time. I remembered someone asked me why used Notch and Disc from 00-02, rather than just either/or. This thought went round and round in my head all day long Saturday, and when I...

    Big silver! :shocked:

    Hello all! Went out last night and tried a new-to-me area of the DG course but for almost the entire hunt I used an 8 kHz program. Kept digging small mid-conducting targets, like small caliber bullets, deep can slaw, and when I found a small aluminum jean rivet at 4" that sounded good...I...

    Short hunt today...4 toasty coins!

    Had a short time to poke around the other end of the DG course today and found a spot with softer dirt :thumbup: I haven't run 4 kHz in this area too much - when I first started hunting the fairgrounds this is the area I had initial success. I remember there being a TON of iffy signals while...

    Last couple of hunts...

    Got out last night and a little on Thursday night and hit the fairgrounds/DG course once again. Stayed in 4 kHz both times, and found the usual haul of clad and junk targets (not shown). Digging bottlecaps is almost non-existent now, unless I come out of 4 KHz for any reason. I keep reactivity...

    Fairgrounds is now Libertyland Disc Golf course! :clap:

    Was able to get out last night at the old fairgrounds site after we had some rain. Haven't been hunting much at all since the ground is about impossible to get through since the rain has slacked off. Did manage to get three Wheats, 2 clad dimes and three Memorials - one of the dimes was a...

    Another rental house :thumbup:

    Payed a visit to the old neighborhood Sat night and most of today - found another virgin rental house that kept giving up all kinds of coins! I started off Sat night and about died from the humidity before a little more tolerable weather arrived this morning. Haven't had a lot of rain...

    Taking the (deeper) plunge???

    Hey guys I regularly read about all the wonderful finds on this Etrac and also the CTX 3030 forum - there's no doubt that both of these machines will find seep silver but I want to ask anyone who is proficient on both. I currently use a Deus with the 11" coil and do very well with it around...

    New test garden

    Haven't been hunting as much as usual lately due to unpacking and adjusting to the new neighborhood. It's definitely a lot safer and more convenient to everything, but haven't had a lot of time to pour over old county maps and such to locate those older sites (all in good time!) I dug up my...

    What's your best program for dealing with high iron "infestation"???

    Hey guys - I've been having great success hunting in the trashiest parts of my sites, and along the way I've been using several different programs to handle mostly ferrous trash - things like nails, bolts, nuts, flat washers, screws, etc. Bottlecaps are almost an entirely different animal, but...

    XP Deus still pulling keepers from the fairgrounds

    These are results from about 8 hours of hunting at the fairgrounds...an area that's seen plenty of activity in the last 150 years. It's available to hunt at any time, even at night! The cops on patrol are always curious to see what turns up, and I'm glad to show them the loot, especially the...

    Fairgrounds continue to give up awesome coins!

    I've been without internet since we moved in here and just figured out how to use my phone to post low enough resolution pics to this site! Have been making sporadic trips to the fairgrounds but each trip never fails to turn up something interesting! Dug a fantastic Standing Liberty quarter...

    Tried Coop's 4 kHz bottlecap program...

    Found this on YouTube a few days ago, and have hunted the fairgrounds twice using these settings. Thank you, sscindercoop for the informative youtube post! I set up my Deus in the same order as was on the video seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzjVyki6qus I set up this program in...

    Tried some "new to me" areas of the fairgrounds

    Got out for the last couple of nights and first hit the south end of the fairgrounds which I've covered fairly well, but still manage to pull keepers every time. Only hunted about an hour and a half the night before last, it was simply too sticky and muggy to hunt for any length of time. Add...

    2 hours in the backyard...

    Started off tonight in the backyard of the rental house which I visited yesterday - and things are looking promising already! I wanted to post the details of this hunt while they are still fresh. Fired up the Deus in "4K silver" program but notched 00-32 so I could still hit nickels. Started in...

    Hunted another rental house today! :smoke:

    Got out today between weather systems to a new rental house that Marty gave me the "go ahead" on which was just recently vacated on June 1. I started off in the "4K silver" program thinking it was full of trash targets, but I found my self cranking down the notch to "60" after getting some...

    Return trip to the rental house!

    Today I invited Dad and my uncle to come hunt the rental house that was so productive a couple nights back - and still managed to pull a decent pile of clad and Wheats from it. Now that I could see what I was doing as opposed to nighttime hunting, I rechecked some areas using Reactivity = 4 and...
