    Ferrous versus Conduct - There's more to this than meets the eye

    On my last hunt I began experimenting with conductive tones as part of my plan this season and noticed something damn odd right off the bat. I was running iron mask at -10 and got a signal which was ID'ing with the cursor half off the top of the screen around the silver dime range some some...

    Sunday finds

    I hit the old park to do some coin shooting Sunday and it seems I'm still stuck in relic mode from the North/South hunt. No coins but an 1830's hard times token, silver thimble, and a 1830's sportsman button (eagle pouncing on a rabbit). Hard times token is a Merchants Exchange Wall St. N York...

    1864L IH - a nice way to start the 2006 season

    It hit 60 degrees here today so I met up with Ed and Butch at one of our beat to death parks for my first 2006 hunt. I was still fighting the dang flu and after 90 minutes of swinging with empty pockets my comfy chair at home was calling me. I had passed on a couple of promising deep signals...

    PI versus VLF versus Hybrid in plain english

    I just got off the phone with Dave Emery. I'm still absorbing the truck load of information he gave me but I think I have a better understanding from a practical sense of the difference between a PI, a VLF, and hybrids of the two technologies. And I think I now have a way to compare one hybrid...

    Cody why did you delete my post?

    I find your moderating skills to be lacking in fairness. You allow Matt's post (is that because he agrees with you) yet you delete my reply. Here are the highlights from Matt's post... 1. amateur detectorists 2. majority of contributors ARE NOT QUALIFIED 3. muddled comment 4. simply idiotic...

    Are VLF's better on small gold than PI's?

    I don't know much about PI's but I read this quote on another forum. The guy seems to suggest that a VLF (Tesoro Tiger Shark) will go deeper on small gold than a PI. Is this accurate? "PIs generally don't see the small pieces of aluminum. By the same token, they will not react to the small gold...

    Elitist historical societies, museums, and archaeologists hammered in the press!!!

    This report just hit the news via Associated Press. Take a gander at the job these so called professionals are doing in protecting our national heritage. And they want to make all lands off limits to metal detectorist because "we" are ruining our national heritage? This is like the joke of the...

    Cody's Question - Calling all conductive tone experts

    Cody asked an excellent question, if ferrous tones seems the obvious best choice (at least to us ferrous fans) then why did Minelab default the tones to conductive? I don't have an answer but I want one. Perhaps it was because all the older machines based their tones on conductivity e.g. silver...

    Hey Oregonians...

    I will be out in the Portland, OR area from Dec 14th to Dec 25th and plan to do some detecting if anyone is interested in getting together for a hunt. I'm going to try some custom coils on that tough black sand you have out there.

    Saturday deep finds and screen ID's (hey button experts ?)

    Here are the Saturday finds from the spot Ed has been pounding to death for the last several weeks. He has cleaned out most of the decent signals so I thought I would post Explorer screens of where these two indian heads landed. First up an eagle button, small I'm guessing a cuff button. Can...

    Freakshow Explorer

    I took the shop tools to my Explorer recently to make it lighter and to waterproof it to the extent that it would survive a dunk in the ocean. Making it lighter was the primary goal. The only Explorer parts to survive were the control box (though I encased it in an ABS hard cover shell with a...

    Finally the hot humid weather left and I unleashed the Explorer on some long lost coins. Check out these two key date indians 1873 and 1875 with full Liberty's. They have nice shiny patinas and should clean up nice in some peroxide. [attachment 7446 semikeyih.jpg] Here's the rest of the...
