    Two days of nice weather and a new coil...

    Between the revolving door of company and all the craziness of Christmas, I was able to get out to the new school I’ve been hunting. I managed a handful of clad and my very first Mercury Dime...1943S. I was amazed that it was barely 1” below the grass roots. Sure feels good when you hit silver...

    Five month finds recap

    As the calendar year comes to a close, I just wanted to share with you folks the fun I’ve had for the past five months. I’ve bought five detectors and two pinpointers to help the economy along, and spent a lot of hours out in the sunshine, heat and now the cold, swinging a stick and digging...

    "You’re not going to get anything here."

    "I see guys here all the time metal detecting, and they say all the good stuff is gone from here. You’re just wasting your time." This was the advice I received this morning from a fella walking his dog in the park I was hunting. Interestingly, I was digging a quarter from 8” when he walked by...

    "Silver and round, and I dug it from the ground!" Equinox 600

    Had a really good day at a new location I haven’t hunted before. Turned out to be quite the cash cow, and I’ll be back tomorrow to finish reaching my goal,of $100 in coins since starting this hobby July 22nd. I only need $2.50 to hit the goal. Silver quarter, sterling ring and bling ear ring...

    WTB: 5”x8” COIL FOR GARRETT AT MAX

The Max is my backup machine, and doesn’t see much use any more, but I’d like to have the smaller DD coil to compliment itjust in case it gets called into service. WTB from member of this forum with same criteria as if you’re selling...90 days, posts, etc...

    Two schools and a three ball day

    Hunted two schools today for a total of six hours, and got three balls at the first one, along with my first silver coin and Wheatie with the Equinox 600. The second site gave up some coinage, but not a single nickel. Every nickel signal I dug turned out to be a pull tab. Go figure... Nothing...

    Three ring day!

    Hunted this morning for a couple of hours before getting my eye examination, and picked up the little aluminum ring with some clad. Stopped back after my exam and hunted 2-1/2 hours, and picked up the rest. Hit a coin spill that had 4 quarters and three stinking Zincolns. The class ring must...

    Sure was cold out there today...

    No great finds for the almost 2-1/2 hours I hunted this afternoon, but if you look closely, you’ll see that these coins have been in the ground for quite some time. Today’s hunt was at a site I hunted just a couple of months ago with my AT Max. I went over a lot of the same areas using my new...

    She said..."Don’t be gentle with me!"

    I received my "new to me" Equinox 600 a couple of days ago. I went through the firmware upgrade and spent yesterday just going through the manual and getting familiar with all of the menus and options. Two previous owners since June, and neither owner applied the upgrade. I’m not sure they even...

    Slim pickings in the brutal cold... $2.02

    This was the last hunt before the bitter cold chill factor temps sent this old man back into the house. I can handle the cold, but the winds get to me after awhile. Looking forward to a couple of weeks in Cape Coral after the new year. Beach detecting with Mama, and maybe do some shark tooth...

    F/S Tesoro Tiger Shark

    2008 Tiger Shark in very good condition. I installed a new seal and tested it 9-14-2018...stays dry after one hour submersed. I bought an extra seal and battery box to have for backup. Lots of packets of Tesoro silicone. Original box and instruction booklet as well as coil cover. I bought this...

    Today’s finds from well hunted schoolyard

    Went to a closed elementary school this afternoon that me and Ohio Fred have worked many times, and worked the grassy areas near the paved recess pad. I saw lots of holes left by others who were detecting the site, and some of these finds came within a couple of inches of those holes. I’m...

    First three hours on new permission

    Finally able to get out on a new permission with the AT Max, and just worked one area for about three hours. Most of the pics were 4-6” deep, including the 2000 Hot Wheels Muscle Car. Got my first fifty cent piece, but not a single nickel. Every nickel signal turned out to be can slaw, so after...

    Birthday hunt

    I found a clearing in the wooded area of a park that was strewn with coins. I spent almost two hours digging coin after coin with the AT Max in a area about 25’ x 75’. Trash was fairly minimal. I had to leave since the kids and grandkids were coming over to shower me with love and gifts, but...

    A visitor from Spain...

    Often, my coins are so dirty that I can’t identify what they are, but just store them in a jar until it’s time to run a batch through the tumble to clean them. Thus was the case with finding this 1963 19xx UNA PESETA in the batch I cleaned last night. A Spanish coin is not something one would...

    First Silver Ring!

    Went back to the park I was at yesterday and worked the shoreline methodically with the AT Max. As expected, I dug a lot of fishing sinkers, as they fall in the same numbers as nicklels. All of the pennies were copper, with the newest being a 1982 copper. Lots of old school "beaver tails," so...

    First Buffalo nickel!

    Went to a new park this afternoon where I have been fishing since the mid 70’s, and worked the shoreline since the water level was down a couple of feet. Used my new-to-me AT Max mode Zero, disc 35 sensitivity 0. Got a modern nickel, then got this 1915P Buffalo nickel in a spot I have stood...

    Sunday hunt with Ohio Fred

    Worked a familiar school with the AT Max, and dug a lot of deep signals that were missed with the Land Ranger Pro. Most interesting find was a sports medallion that was probably from an event on the front lawn...participation award, if you will!

    New toy and unusual find

    I’ve been thinking about getting a Garrett Pro series detector for awhile, and found an AT Max today for an excellent price. I have a lot to learn about this machine, but I will say that it finds stuff DEEEEEP! Took it out between rain storms and worked a playground that I’ve worked heavily the...

    AT MAX wireless question...

    I’ve been searching the Garrett site and around the Internet, and can’t seem to find an answer to this question... Can standard Bluetooth ear buds be used with the AT MAX Z-Link wireless system? In hot weather, I use my Motorola S10 Bluetooth unit with the buds in my ear with my Bounty Hunter...
