    Waves are breaking over the sea wall onto the road at nortbeach and within 75 feet of the parking area on the south side of Hampton beach. 3-4 footers rolling in one right on top of the other. Low tide is in 6 hours, fortunately I have tomorrow off! :D

    Explorer XS last rampage through Upstate NY (6 pics)

    Well the clock is ticking, in 48 hours I'll be living in New Hampshire so Ed and I hit one of the old spots again tonight. Here are my finds from the last three outings. Pretty cool silver spoon, looks like a babies spoon. I can make out the letters H. DARR on the back. This was directly under...

    What's the deal with the SE falsing on rusty nails?

    My SE seems to be falsing considerably worse on rusty nails than my XS or II does. I noticed this on the NJ shore beaches and in Oregon on two seperate trips but wanted to test this first on my home soil at a site I have hunted hundreds of times before making a final determination. I did that...

    Well VA relic hunt was altogether lame BUT the Findmall gang has inspired me. Great finds folks, just like the old days!

    I touched down in Oregon yesterday and Saturday I'm heading back to the spot that gave up the 1898s barber quarter when I was out here a couple months ago. Thankfuly it won't be 32 degrees this time with a 40mph wind gawd.

    SE nabs Barber Quarter!

    After spending most of the 2006 season working on my dumb house I decided I earned a new toy and purchased a shiny new Explorer SE, Minelab 8 inch coil, Sunray 12 inch coil, and a shiny new Sunray X1 probe! Thanks again to Joe Demarco for all this gear and for shipping the probe out to Oregon on...

    Post a pic of your best condition dug flying eagle, indian, wheat, or nickel? Here's mine

    Most of the coins I dig are corroded green slugs but every once in a blue moon I dig a good one like the 1888 the other day. This 1859 is by far my best though. The only spot of green on this 1859 is just below the bow on the reverse. This came from a well hidden site in some woods where for...

    Todays diggins 12 pics

    The weather today was too nice to pass up, sunny and a comfortably warm 48 degrees. Ed/Butch, the pounded to death bandstand gives up some more treasure! I rescued this poor girl near the bandstand, this 1837 has seen some miles. This is why I'd rather dig an indian head at this site than...

    Manual versus semi-auto sensitivity

    I have tested this in the field many times on targets before they are dug and neither approach was 100%. I have seen good signals running semi-auto turn to crap when I switched to manual or vanish altogether and I have seen the same thing when running manual and switching to semi-auto. Soil...

    Tutti Frutti and an 1874IH

    With the 5 month long home remodel completed (never again) I'm finally getting out to do some detecting. Here are the two better finds from the weekend. First up is this lock stamped Tutti Frutti on one side and Adams on the other. I googled it and found this, "In 1888, Thomas Adams' chewing...

    A null in all metal? Yep! Would fast ON help?

    Would Fast ON have made a difference on these two targets? I think so but did not test it. Take a look at this first diagram, here you see two nails pointing towards two mind you, two silver quarters of all things. The nails were about 12 inches apart. Notice how the nails are casting an iron...

    Screen locations of iffy signals

    Here are the screen locations where I have dug some iffy signals. Note the bounce patterns as indicated by the arrows. Take special note of the classic rusty nail falsing bounce pattern in red.

    More depth via overlooked Explorer setting?

    I received this question yesterday from an Explorer II user. Its quite interesting. The short version is, with his threshold tone (not volume, tone) set to 5 signals were broken. When he reduced the threshold tone to 3 they came in loud and clear. There are quite a few variables in play, he was...

    On an 1864 streak this season!

    I went back to my favorite 1800's bandstand Tuesday night. The top is not much larger than my living room but the ground slopes away about 20 feet left, right, and front. This little spot has given up serious amounts of coins and jewelry over the past several years including a very nice turn of...

    Explorer scores silver!

    With my surf Explorer finished I decided to lighten up my landlubber machine and improve the balance. Last night I hooked up with Ed and Butch at our favorite local park for a side by side comparison and field test. Ed has a Explorer XS, Butch has the Quatro, we found the difference in weight...
