    Been a fantastic two weeks

    It got a little cooler here in Western New York and we got some rain so I have felt ok about digging in the lawns of our permissions. I had two great pocket spills: a wheatie, a Merc, a Barber dime and a Barber Quarter. A week later I got: a Rosie, a Merc, 2 Washington Quarters (Silver) and a...

    Brass nozzle??

    I found this brass "nozzle" the other day and we don't know what it is. I kind of think it might me some sort of a nozzle since it necks down to a small opening but the other end baffles me. It kind of reminds me of the old style oil can openers where you would push it into a metal can and pour...

Or are there other options that are good that I...

    anyone using the 11x13 coil? better than the 11" coil?

    I am thinking of buying the 11x13 coil but i would like to know from those that use it if it's better or goes deeper than the stock 11" coil? it would have to be a lot better to warrant the high cost i think but would like to know for sure if it's worth it. Thanks...

    Finally a few good finds this detecting season...

    It has been a lousy detecting season so far this year. All the local parks and school grounds have been hit hard over the years and hit hard by me these last 2 and a half years since I got the 3030. So I did some research and found and old fairgrounds in a town about 30 miles away. I went to the...

    I am looking for a good water resistant cover for the XP control box. something that I can see through well and that I can make adjustments while it is on especially if I get caught in the rain and maybe still want to continue detecting. thanks

    I hate 88 .....

    seems like the Deus really likes to find twist off bottle caps at 88.... same number as dimes... that is not fun... I couldn't find a way to get around that... if I notch out 88 then I don't find any dimes, especially silver ones... I was using the basic 1 program but I have virtually no ground...

    electrical chatter: how to de-tune it

    Got the Deus and took it out in the yard and as soon as I turned it on I had electrical chatter. Just a lot of little chirps and the coil was in the air as well as on the ground. I couldn't figure out how to get that to go away. I was using the first program, basic 1. I have a CTX3030 and when I...
