    Oil Camp Silver etc.

    Howdy-- My friend Kenneth and I decided to detect one of my old haunts - an Oil Camp that was active from the early 1940's to the 1960's. I and my old friend James (who recently passed away) had hunted this camp every chance we had for a good 15 years since 1985. Those were the days! The...

    Howdy-- My detecting buddy Kenneth gave me a call and told me about a site that he had procured permission to hunt. He had already tested it out and dug 5 wheat cents and a silver Jefferson in addition to several clad coins. The lot is a corner lot where 3 houses that date to the 1940's had...

    Separation versus see-through in iron

    Howdy Cainevaroy-- In addition to the adjustments that you mentioned, try experimenting with Bottle Cap Reject and Filters. For the deep targets, I have found that one must find that "sweet spot" with the combination of physical sweep speed, filters, sensitivity, BCR and attention to the...

    Little Silver & Odds and Ends...

    Howdy -- Being addicted to metal detecting I needed a fix. With temperatures in the low 70's it has been ideal weather to quench my detecting thirst. The past few months I have been going over to my hunting buddy Kenneth's town to detect but for a change, he came over to my town. We drove...

    A Little Silver & a Nice Ring...

    Thanks Calnevaroy. It's always hard to say exactly how an item found its way to its recovery location but it is fun to speculate. How about a dozen 3 Merry Widowe's containers in one hole? Or a dozen+ hypodermic needles in one hole? How about 120 rounds of un- fired .223 ammo? I love this...

    A Little Silver & a Nice Ring...

    Howdy-- We had a nice day for detecting - in the mid 60's and we HAD to take advantage of it. Last week , on the way home from detecting, I noticed a corner lot that just had an old house removed. The lot was in an old neighborhood where we had previously dug silver. This was the first nice day...

    Unknown "Coin"

    Howdy-- I dug this unknown coin, token or play coin recently and I was curious as to what it is. I have dug plenty of tokens and play coins over the years but I have never seen anything quite like this. Any Ideas? I'm not sure of its composition but it looks like aluminum. The silver dime is...

    Silver & Wheat's

    Howdy-- My friend, Kenneth hunted a vacant home and dug a nice Franklin half, a merc and several wheat cents. Due to his age (he is 86 years young) and a disability from a 1950's oil field accident, he is only able to swing the 4x6 coil on his VX3. After he was satisfied that he had pulled the...

    Emi

    Howdy Nodrog58-- Yes, I have hunted in areas with bad emi. These are the solutions that I have found to be effective: Reduce sensitivities Change frequency - sometimes single frequency works best Use the 4x6 DD coil Some areas may be unhuntable due to a combination of emi and extreemly high...

    V3i

    It's possible that you are missing some good targets. I rely, primarily, on the audio and then the signagraph followed by, in pinpoint mode, the 3 bars indicating the strongest frequency of the target. That's the simplest analyze mode for me. Keep in mind that on deeper targets the analyze mode...

    Last 3 Hunts: Copper, Silver

    Howdy-- After cleaning the copper and brass scrap I visited the scrap yard and recycled the scrap in the above picture. I also included aluminum cans that I picked up. My efforts were rewarded with $97.95. Every little bit helps! Best of luck and... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel
