    bigger coil

    Has anyone used the 10' or 10.25' bounty hunter large coil on the 505? Do these bigger coils really deliver more depth? Are they a cost effective way to jazz up the performance of my old machine, rather than spending big bucks on a higher end model? HH ed in co.

    biggest pocket spill ever!

    I only had about two hours to hunt today so took a quick trip to a local sledding hill in the foothills. I've hit this spot hard for a couple of years. Its actually where I really started learning my machine, so good targets are getting hard to find. Found a couple of pennies and was running out...

Since I had just got my 505 back from 1st texas (turned out it needed a new coil) I walked about 5 blocks down to a little downtown park that I have pounded fairly hard in the past. The boys at 1st texas did a...

    Got out to two school playgrounds this weekend. Hard hunting conditions, 8 to 10 inches of hard crusted snow in the shady side of the playground equipment, bare ground froze hard in the sun. Had to leave a lot of good signals but still had a good score. Found a lot of clad, some junk jewelry...

    The worlds most beautiful coin!-sickness intensifies

    Ok I knew going into this crazy hobby that there was a danger of an addiction and it did happen, but nobody warned me that the affliction would grow worse by stages! For the first three months it was a progression of frustration and elation as the learning curve both aggravated and rewarded me...
