    Found a medal

    Very cool find.I found one last year but it was just the cross, no bullseye or wreath. I know they were still sterling in the 70s when I was in.

    Found a medal

    Correct but if it is just the cross, its a marksman, cross with bullseye, a sharpshooter, add the wreath and that is an expert marksman. As far as sterling, mine are from the early 70s and they are sterling.

    Another day epic day in the field!! Big silver again!!

    You're on fire Ted, a huge attaboy and congrats on another great hunt. A little jelly on the seated half. What a find. I'm still lookin for my first Barber half. That is definitely some old ground you've found. Keep pounding it and good luck. Mark

    Is the triple score stable

    Sounds like you might have got a bad one or had a loose connection, maybe the area had high EMI. I have about 100 hrs on my Legend. Using the LG24 coil I can max out the sensitivity in most areas if I want. Before I noise cancel I do max it out to scan for potential hot spots then usually settle...

    Bone conduction headphone

    Can't speak to that brand. I use Ziocom open air conduction phones. They work quite well, good audio and no lag. 50 bucks on Amazon.

    Got a bucket lister today

    The three stars means it a Type ll. Type l (no stars on the back ) 1916 and some of 1917 had a bare breasted Lady Liberty but too many complained so they put the chain mail across her chest. Either way great save and congrats on the find. Mark

    Didn't think there would be much there...boy was I wrong

    Heck yeah, what a score. Congrats Jimmy. The research paid off quite well for you. A honey hole for sure. Different settings, different coils and hitting it from every direction would be my plan. No telling what else the site holds. Again well done and good luck on your return. Mark

    First park hunt with the legend.

    I have their wireless headphones, the audio is pretty good. But after a few hours they seem to pinch a bit. For warm weather hunting I use Ziocom Open air conduction headphones. They work quite well. No lag, good sound. I like being able to hear whats going on around me. The only drawback I see...

    Just looked at a ring I found 875 gold

    Oh man what a find. Looks like it came from the Emerald Isle an being Irish that would be a special find for me. Congrats on the beautiful Claddagh Mark. A great save for sure.

    One nickel at a time ends up being a herd of buffalo 🦬

    Agree with you. But lowering the volume on either side of the nickel bin really helps you to pay less attention to the less important while making the mid-tones a no doubt , need to investigate this signal. Good luck. Mark

    One nickel at a time ends up being a herd of buffalo 🦬

    I think my best was 4 Buffs in one hunt. You seem to be at it a lot longer then me, only started in 2015 and till I got an Etrac the nickels seem to elude me. For the first 2 years it seemed like the Buff was my white whale. When I got the 800 in 18 nickels were all I dug on some hunts. Over 450...

    One nickel at a time ends up being a herd of buffalo 🦬

    Jimmy if you will permit me, hell maybe you already do this. Anyway with the 800 & the 900 I would set bin 2 for midtones. on the 900 bin 2 is 22 thru 29. I don't change the pitch, which is 6. Very pronounced, but what I do do, ya dodo ha ha bin one volume is set low, for me around 3. bin2 is at...

    Heck Jimmy that is a whole herd. Congrats. I love the mid-tones and the old nickels that come with it. Congrats on the Merc and other finds as well..

    Took the Legend plunge

    Congrats on the new rig. For me the Id spread is just about right. I bitched about the tight scale on the 800 and was happy to see -19to 99 when they came out with the 900. After a year or so I found its scale was too much and unstable. #s all over the place. The Legend does well and I did not...

    900s first hunt with the Upgrade.

    Thank you. The labor and the craftsmanship. The stone and brickwork was just outstanding as was the carpentry.

    900s first hunt with the Upgrade.

    Thank you Mark thanks. I had thought about that spot in the past just never got around to it till I heard the news it was being torn down. Thank you Ted. The heat and mainly dry ground has kept me from getting out as well. Digging wasn't too bad. I boogered a couple plugs but I figured given...

    900s first hunt with the Upgrade.

    Was thinking I should post in the comparison section but this was more of a go over the same area I had hunted in mid-June with the Legend. Yesterday was the first time out since that hunt. I used the Legend on that hunt at a church that was being torn down. The one I attended as a lad. Have...
