    Keeping your coil clean.

    I have a lot of time on my hands since I have been staying home taking care of my wife after her surgery and haven't been able to get out and do any detecting so I worked on my new SE Pro coil. I have done this to some of my other coils also and it works out really well. This will pertain to all...

    Tip of the month.:clapping:

    As this article says, we all have dug plenty of those pesky zinc pennies and this is a good idea which I copied and was submitted by Jerry Davis from our Hood Canal Detector Club newsletter. TIP OF THE MONTH: We've all dug those pennies that have started dissolving and wished we hadn't but...

    Modified hand grip on my SE.

    Hi fellows, Been waiting for the snow to melt and my SE upper shaft is having the X-1 probe installed by Ralph at Sun-Ray and decided to put the new grip on my handle. I just didn't like the feel of that foam rubber grip that Minelab uses and to me it just acted like a sponge if you detected in...

    Does six silver count as a six-pack?:clapping:

    Well, our club hunted a new place Sat or at least it was a new place for my buddy Lee and I. I was going to take my SE, but ended up leaving it home and my "ole" XS didn't let me down.:detecting: There really wasn't a lot of grassy area to hunt and the biggest part of it was fill dirt which was...

    First silver with my SE.:clapping:

    Well, it wasn't that great of a hunt for my buddy Lee and I Sunday, but at least I got two silver coins under my belt with my SE. Right off the bat I got a wheatie and then a 58 rosie. Got a couple more wheaties and then we broke for lunch break. I put on my heavy weight SEF 10x12 coil and got a...

    Take a look at this honker.:surprised:

    Ya, it had me fooled for a little while also. Decided to take my SE out for another spin at a local school ground. I was on digital and trying to listen to what the sounds were trying to tell me, but it's going to take a lot more time before I am really comfortable. More than likely I wouldn't...

    Took my new SE Pro out for a spin this morning

    at a park downtown and got my butt kicked by my buddy Lee and his "old" XS.:veryangry: I was happy for him, but I went around this old tree and then he came right behind me and pulled out a worn 1917 merc dime!! I have mixed emotions now and kind of dumb founded that my SE didn't pick up that...

    My worst hunt ever, but:clapping:

    it wasn't a total loss. Had our club hunt Sat and about ten people showed up. It rained a little bit just as we got started and then it let up. It was really slow going and I'm thinking man I'm going to get skunked on the silver and sure enough I did.:veryangry: I got a little bit of clad and...

    My buddies XS.:cry:

    Well, my buddy Lee got his XS back from Minelab's repair place in Chicago yesterday and it still doesn't work.:ranting: He made a list of four things that were causing his problems and they fixed three of them. I'd like to say that 75% fixed is good, but when you get your detector back it should...

    Got my oldest coin ever and she's sitting down.:surprised:

    Went out yesterday and decided to try out my 12X10 SEF coil. I started out at a small park in my town that has been pounded to death over the years, but figured this would be a good test with the coil. Got a good tone and pulled out a 1941 merc about eight inches deep. I'm thinking OK, this coil...

    Does driving 360 miles one way worth it?:clapping:

    Well, my answer has got to be yes.:clapping: It

    Will we have metal detecting in 2020?

    I copied this article from our club newsletter written by Dick Stout from Washington state. Good reading and it can apply to all of our states if we all work together to try and preserve this great hobby not only for us, but for our kids and their kids for many years to come. Eddie Article...

    Look out fellows:cry:

    Went to my detecting meeting last night and one of the members passed out a flyer concerning metal detecting in city parks in a town about 50 miles from my place. They just passed a new city ordinance saying that no digging of hinged or four corner plugs are allowed. The use of an ice pick or...

    Jesse James Hidden Treasure.

    Watched this show again the other night on the History channel thinking it might be part 2, but it was the same program. I thought these fellows were suppose to go back to Kansas again this year and do some more treasure hunting, but maybe they are still working on their search. Talk about...

    How would you like to detect this place.:detecting:

    The house was built in 1864, but it's on our states Historical Registry and off limits to detecting.:cry: I envy anyone who detected there before it became off limits. HH. Eddie

    Another pounded to death park hunt Sat.:clapping:

    Got up at the crack of light and headed south to another pounded to death park. Took about one and a half hours to get there, but the traffic was light and listening to my oldies and a cup of coffee in hand I was there in no time. I decided to hunt a spot that I never detected before and right...

    Again, a question for Bryce.

    I see you deleted your post on settings and my reply where I asked you a question so I am asking it again. Why is it that we can copy, paste and print what the fellows post on the forum, but yet we can't do it on the stuff from our personal PM's that our buddies send to us? If you have the...

    My "Ole" XS.

    Got my XS back today from Minelab.:clapping: She looks and sounds like brand new and the month long wait to get her back was worth it. Now that she's all fixed up she'll probably outlast me. My hat goes off to Trina Bonney at Minelab and although a month for repairs seemed kind of long for...

    Silver and gold.:clapping:

    Headed over the mountains for four days about 200 miles from my home for our first camping trip of the year. Got up early Sat morning and headed for this old pioneer park. I grabbed my borrowed XS out of my truck and put in my rechargeable battery pack and off I went. Headed for this big old...

    Problem solved I think.:clapping:

    I really believed that all three of my battery packs couldn't all be bad at the same time and then I thought well maybe the contact springs inside the handle where the battery packs slide into might be weak, lose or corroded so I put a a little wedge between my battery pack and the rubber door...
