    GTI-2500 got a bath at the river-underarmor works great

    I went down to the river today and my underarmor long johns work great, but my feet froze. The water was about 6 inches below my housing and I was digging a target and this pontoon boat came by close to shore and sent a 2 foot wave right over the top of my unit. I turned it up in the air to...

    Can any of you members suggest a brand of thermal or quilted long underwear to wear when working in the water? Something to go under my chest waders. I went to a sporting goods outlet and they had the cotton products and something called: Armor long underwear and the sales person said all the...

    Frog ring photos and clad

    These are two frog ring photos and the clad from my last trip to the river. The ring is sterling silver, I was really surprised. I went to the river today and the water is over the sandbar and I really wanted to put on my waders and try my luck for an hour at least, but it was too cold and...

    Ring cleaning info & ring error

    Anybody got any advice on cleaning rings or other jewelry? I soaked some of the jewelry and chains I found in the last few weeks and discovered I actually had 5-10K rings instead of 4. It's so thin it looked like part of an ear ring. One of the chains that I had found that had Italy on it...

    I went to the river today and the water is up about 2-3 feet. I started out good with a few dimes and then found a frog ring and when I got home I found out it was sterling silver, 92.5 mark on inside of ring band. The wind was blowing very strong out of the North-East and the waves on the...

    Last Fridays finds, gold ring, clad & 2nd mercury dime

    First photo is the two crosses I found, 1 gold ring-10K and 3 ear rings. The gold ring I saw just laying in the water and scooped it up. The waves were out of the North-East and just seemed to wash it in my direction. One of the ear rings is shaped like the state of Florida I believe and the...

    Friday and Saturday at the river-112 coins total-6 rings & necklace & standing liberty quarter+ found & lost large cent

    I went back to the river Friday and Saturday last week and had some pretty good hunting. If I had the sling I ordered, I might have spent more time looking for coins and rings than trying to hold onto my 2500. Friday I found 63 coins: 5-quarters, 19-dimes, 11-nickels, and 28 pennies. 3 rings...

    80 coins in 2 hours at the river

    I started out to the river yesterday to try out my new scoop, but turned around and went back to the house to wait on a Fed-ex delivery that didn't come. I was wanting the sling I ordered from Kellyco to use when I went out into the water so I wouldn't accidentally dunk my 2500 in the river...

    Got my Sunspot scoop yesterday.

    I ordered the Stealth 8" classic last Thursday and it arrived Tuesday and I put it together after church last night. I'm heading to the river and hope I can find enough jewelry to pay for it. I got a lot of hits in the water a few weeks ago, but could not recover due to waves from the wind...

    1st mercury dime and 2nd gold ring

    I went metal detecting at a site where an old department store was torn down for a community college and found a 1925 mercury dime, my first and a 1944 wheat penny, Friday. I hope to hit it again today, but it is so full of metal scarps, nails and everything else. Saturday, I went back to the...

    I found this copper coin last Saturday. It has United States of America across the top and under America it has what looks like HASF. It has what looks like the number 130 on the obverse and a large 4 and D on the reverse. I am trying to post it from a usb flash drive. It won't let me upload...

    4 rings, necklace, possible old coin and clad

    I got out and did some metal detecting at the river last Saturday after Thanksgiving and was disappointed to see someone else had been there before me and left their holes uncovered. I filled in some of them, but there were too many to fill in all of them. I damaged my digital camera somehow...

    morbid opportunity?

    I was given permission to metal detect this old spring near my church about 2 years ago, where they used to have baptisms and the school children from the late 1890's and on used for a playground and ate their lunch there. It seemed like a great place to find some old coins, but it was so...

    Welcome A & S company

    I'm glad to see A & S Company or detection.net as a sponsor on these forums. I bought all my gear from them when I started out and Sean has always gave me great service. I don't know how long they have been a sponsor, because I don't have internet at the house anymore and don't get on the...

    Clad afternoon

    I got out for a couple hours Saturday afternoon, until the skitters asserted theirselves and I had to leave. I found 3 dimes, I nickel and 13 pennies, all clad. I thought I had a silver dime, but it was a 1965. I thought I had found some jewelry, but it turned out to be part of a key ring...

    found three pennies + satisfaction

    I was able to go dirt fishing today for the first time in 5 months and only found 3 pennies, but the satisfaction of swinging my detector for a few hours money can't buy. They were clad with the oldest a 1964, but I really enjoyed myself. The local beach at the river was full of people and...

    Morse code question

    I remember reading a post several years ago and I think it was Uncle Willy about after you pinpointed a target with your coil and released the pinpoint button, if it was a coin, it would make some type of noise like morse code. I tried that today to try and avoid some trash targets, but it...

    School hunt, lots of pulltabs and some coins

    I finally got permission from the owners of the property where a school used to be located and demonstrated to the folks how I metal detected for coins and how I recovered my targets and the man who gave me permission to hunt this school that I attended in the 1960's might get a metal detector...
