    Sorry this may be incorrect...

    God bless MCA of the Beastie Boys. I cant believe he passed away at age 47. Im almost 43 years old and grew up with the Beastie Boys. This is a forum for 'other' subjects right?

    Thinking of buying an Explorer...

    Why? Because of Bryce and all the prolific posters on this forum. I am a 'lone wolf' and desire to 'talk shop' with others when it comes to detecting. Im not a freak Im just me. The Explorer forum is quite active and I think I'd like to be part of it. Thank you. HH. Matt

    Encounter with Twp. Police yesterday.

    I was hunting at a secluded dirt/fill dump. I heard a vehicle coming toward me and immediately saw it was a police car. He rolls up to me to ask what Im doing. Its obvious Im metal detecting and explain it to him. He took an interest in what I was doing and we began talking about the history of...

    SEF coils and depth readings

    Hey there. My SEF 6x8 coil and my DFX dont seem to be able to accurately determine target depth. I mean its not even close. The coil PP well but the depth is off more often than not. Maybe its the crazy compacted rocky ground Ive been in lately? Anyone else find this happening to any extent? Im...

    Attempted dump detecting yesterday.

    Finally found the dump. Looks like a full on forest now. Been closed for decades. Cant imagine finding any coins tho I tried. So much metal everywhere. Lots of cool glass bottles. Practically no plastic anywhere. Any suggestions on finding coins in this historical mess? Or should I just continue...

    Following ATV trails

    IMHO not only are ATV trails easy ways to travel deep into the woods but might also indicate hot detecting spots. In my area ATVs are popular. The trails are often deep ruts where the wheels are and higher dirt to both sides and in the middle of the ruts. The ATVs kick stuff up in the ruts and...

    If your favorite White's detector disappeared...

    ...what would you replace it with? Another White's...another brand? HH. Matt

    New type of area to hunt.

    Well new to me and hopefully to you too. I discovered an area where unneeded 'clean fill' is dumped by Township trucks. Ripped up sidewalks mixed with dirt and other town projects rejected dirt all in piles waiting to be searched. First time I found this I got two wheats. Maybe this is stupid- I...

    Coil Management

    Id like to hear different philosophies regarding getting your coil cable up the shaft to the detector. I know it can affect performance. Thanks in advance. HH. Matt

    Third season newbie booty.

    This is most of my take after 2+ seasons of detecting. Nothing to show off. I only have 2 Mercs and 1 Rosie for silver finds. I silver ring which I gave to my Mom and a silver bell charm. I hope to double this amount this season because Im getting to know my detectors better. Its all fun. Enjoy...

    Why do so many of us....

    ...own multiple detectors? LOL! I am constantly asked by others 'why so many?' I only own three. I guess I have two high end machines because they are different and if one breaks and must be sent away I still have a good one. I also like trying new technology. I got a Fisher F75 SE Ltd when they...

    If you had your say....

    ...what coil would you supply White's top 3 or 4 dectors with? After using many coils I'd have to go with the Eclipse 6x10. Its a nice general size and it glides of the ground and stubble very well. Interested in hearing your thoughts. HH. Matt

    Self Defense?

    How do you protect yourself from anything during this hobby? Since it is mostly a solitary hobby and we are sometimes 'out of view' what do you do? I carry a .380 semi-auto on my ankle. I'm sorry if this post has gone out of bounds. HH. Matt

    S-1 Big Box Dilemma

    Why cant I mount my S-1 correctly? The one cable is just too short! This thing kicks butt but I feel silly mounting it backwards. And yes I have tried moving the upright grip, etc. Thanks. HH. Matt

    What is going on with my threshold?

    Today, in the middle of my afternoon hunt, my threshold increased pitch and stayed there....nothing I did could change it. Is this another way the Sovereign tells you your battery is low?

    What do you think of in-line probes?

    Just curious. I'd like to know your opinion of in-line probes. Thanks. HH. Matt
