    It Was Supposed To Rain, So I Metal Detected The Gravels I Was Going To Prospect For Gold Today

    Well, got more treasures out of the North Saskatchewan River today metal detecting the gravels. The weather forecast called for 60% chance of showers, so I grabbed my Garrett metal detector and hunted some spots where people gathered many years ago. Below are my finds from today.

    Finally, Some Detecting Weather!

    It's been too cold with north strong winds, along with ice on the hills. I don't want to fracture my hips, so I waited until better weather. Here is my total coins from today. Our nickel plated steel coins are very cheap and begin to rust when left on the ground, The AT Pro from my experience is...

    Short Apex humt, small coil, but it's not the right one.

    I too prefer concentric coils Monte. Much more accurate, easier pinpointing and have always enjoyed the 4.5 sniper coil. And that little coil ain't no slouch either. Blow as an air-depth test using it on the ACE and AT Gold. An air test will show the maximum potential of a target depth.

    Caught Covid. Did Some Self Isolating On Snow Hills While Off Work

    Had to be away from work x 5 days, so being that I have been vaccinated x 2 + a booster, my symptoms have been mild. The hardest part was staying in my room away from my wife and daughter. Another 5 days and I can cut myself loose.

    Cashed In All My Silver Coins Today......Here's The Story And how Much $$$!

    I have spoken with several professional people involved with selling/buying coins. They all stated that there are fewer and fewer people getting into the hobby, and at the same time, many of the long time coin collectors are selling out. This scenario was validated at home by 2 coins stores...

    My Buddy And I Each Got A Gold Coin Today!

    Out gold coin shopping today with my buddy. Each year, I go out and treat myself to a gold coin, using the money I find metal detecting to subsidize it. Been doing it for many years. It goes into a storage box at the bank and the coins will be gifted to my kids when my days are done. I...

    Second Snow Hunt Gets Some More Coins Towards 2023 Annual Gold Coin Purchase

    Out yesterday for a couple of hours. Finding 2 dollar coins sure brings up the totals quickly. Also got a vape with some kind of oil in it. I don't vape, so it has no value to me.

    Who out there is Tired

    If you watch carefully, air tests in fact actually do give out some vital information. They can give you a maximum potential depth reading. Further comparisons in ground will give you an idea of how the detector punches through real soil conditions. Using various conductive targets, will...

    It might have very well been about the security division. If it was about their detector line, the rumors would be flying!

    First 2022 Coin Today, Using My USB Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

    Headed out this afternoon to enjoy a mild -7C. The past 3 weeks have seen temps in the -30's to -40's, so today's hunt was a real blessing. I charged up my rechargeable lithium ion AA batteries last night, and ran the AT Pro for about an hour. The nice thing about these batteries is that that...
