    Went back for the chain.

    About a month ago I was at the river and getting a chain signal and a huge storm came up. Had to leave when the lightning started. I don't know if this was the same chain and don't know if it's gold because it has no markings and I haven't tested it yet. Anyway, I hadn't planned to go back to...

    Dumb stunt = fried GTI-2500

    I had to go out of town Monday and put my two detectors in the shower due to the number of burglaries in our area. Thought nobody would see them in there with the door closed and a towel over the door. Usually I put the 2500 in the corner and the At/Pro in front of it. I did it backwards...

    2 hour hunt

    Planned to spend about 5 hours at the river today, but only got two hours before I had to leave. The 5 X 8 on the At/Pro continues to impress me. None of the items I found had any markings. One quarter moon shaped piece had 3 holes on each side and threads on each end. Another item looks...

    The river that keeps on giving.

    Hit the river Wednesday and got there late and had to leave early. The 5 X 8 doesn't cover as much ground as the 8.5 X 11, but keeps finding the small jewelry for me. Found a bell shaped ear ring, no markings. Found another odd shaped ear ring with a stone, that fell out while I was showing it...

    Stormy day at the river-2 Sterling silver ear rings & clad

    I got to the river late yesterday and the place was so crowded I had to go into a non productive area. Produced tons of pop tops and pull tabs and one dime. It started raining and thundering and most of the people left except about 20. There were well over 100 people at the lake/river...

    Clad day at the river, sterling silver cross & chain & car

    I went to the river yesterday and meant to get there early, but the best laid plans of mice and men ofter go astray. Found more clad than usual, a 92.5 sterling silver cross & chain and another chain with no markings. 9-quarters, 7-dimes, 5-nickels, and 21 pennies. I was working under the...

    First gold of this year

    I found my first gold this year, a 14K bracelet that weighs 11.90 grams. Broke the nut on my coil somehow and it nearly drove me crazy before I noticed it. Dug and dug this solid 56 signal and noticed the bracelet hanging part way out of my scoop. If I hadn't modified my scoop, I probably...

    Last 4 trips to the river-Part one.

    I'm running behind posting my photos from my last 4 trips to the river. Sometimes I'm spread mighty thin for a fat man and for one reason or the other, hadn't been keeping up with my finds. I'm showing the trash to let the newer members know you got to dig trash to find treasure. Lots of pull...

    At/Pro arrived this morning

    Garrett sent my At/Pro back and it arrived today. I'll check it out later, but have errands to run for Mama and myself. Looking forward to this Saturday and hope to recover this couple's wedding ring and do a little dirt fishing for myself. Happy trails.

    Modified Scoop-part # 2

    I modified my scoop some again last Saturday and it works better with the ends of the 1/4 inch hardware cloth covered up and I don't have to worry about shells and rocks getting under the hardware cloth. Sent my At/Pro off to Garrett this morning and took the wetsuit back I rented Saturday and...

    First silver of the year & At/Pro down for the count.

    I found my first silver for the year or at least the first silver I didn't lose. A small ear ring, 92.5, what I believe to be another stainless steel ring, an eagle & 47 cents of clad. When I went to the man's house to find his lost wedding ring, my At/Pro acted up like it's been doing the...

    Ist hunt of the year

    I finally got out Saturday afternoon and couldn't go to the place I intended to and went to the river. I hunted on land in a real trashy area, but was just too lazy or tired to change to the 5 X 8 coil. I believe I found a silver roosevelt dime, but lost it because I either dropped it putting...

    Junk & clad, scoop modification & eyeball find.

    My last trip to the river was probably a month or more ago and all I found was junk ear rings, trash and some clad. I did finish modifying my scoop for all the 22 casings that give me so much trouble at the river and last photo is an eyeball find at a restaurant last Saturday. I think it's...

    Dumb stunt at the river.

    I got to go to the river yesterday and had high hopes because the power company had let the water down about 10 inches due to heavy rains up north. I started at one side of a dock I hadn't worked much and when I got to the other side, my At/Pro started acting up. First, I thought it was an...

    Silver & Gold at the River

    I finally made it to the river Saturday and couldn't detect about 4 hours and found so much trash I almost missed a 14K gold find. I worked around the dock where I found my 14K chain a few months ago and found a sterling silver chain that weighed 10.71 grams. It was all over the scale and I...
