    My Third and Oldest Barber Half

    Eve before last went back to one of my favorite river spots. Thought my buddy and I had it cleaned out. We have found oldies there including buffalos, seateds, mercs, V's, and barbers (dimes, quarters), but never a large one. While recent high waters didnt erode the banks, they left a lot of...

    info on washer placement to keep coil from flopping around

    what with changing coils here and there along the way, i guess i misplaced or lost the washers that allow you to snug it up. Right now without washers, as much as i can tighten the round knobs, the coil flops around. So some type of rubber or plastic washer right, and put it on the inside or the...

    ever see a quarter cut like this?

    got this in some change. On edge it looks funny, as if a tool made a cut all around the edge, (the center of the edge) It also strikes me odd that the copper band runs around the edge in the center as opposed to off to one side as most clad quarter are. I checked it with another 1985, other than...

    f75ltd mod to reduce hand stress

    Gettin older, my hands fatigue sooner, pain in evening etc. Heres a mod only a true Fisher Fanatic could do. I put the arm troughs from both my F4, and F70 on my F75ltd. After a lot of thoughts on using tubing and such, it seemed the way to go. Im glad the holes align and screws fit on all...

    Farm Revisit aided by Factory Reset

    Earlier this week on advice of some forum members did a factory reset for some noise issues on the f75 ltd; cured the issue. Yesterday, making a trip to the farm where last year I got my first seated dime and a lot of other old coins and things, got these two. The V nickle is an 1905 (the third...

    Quieting the 75 ltd

    Ok Im going to check with Fisher, but wonder if you all could give me your input also. Recently my unit is excessively noisy, anywhere. The problem is a grunting, kind of iron like noise, that happens with every swing and also almost constantly on its own. I tried freq shift , lowering the...

    Couple oldies today

    Nice folks I know let me hunt their property, foundations for former railroad bunkhouse, water station, and more. They have lived there about 20 years and I warned them might have already been hunted. Indeed where the foundations were there was no coins or even artifacts- I suspect heavily...

    5 gold rings at once, year later update

    Some of you may recall last winter I found 5 rings while with permission, mding at an empty house lot. I did find them with the detector in some tall grass, but not underground at all. Thinking it was the right thing to do, I took them to the police, and as per their policy waited a year. Nobody...

    anybody else get this on 75ltd? Raising the disc=noisier machine

    always experimenting trying different setting on fisher f75ltd camo version. Notice when I up my disc to eliminate things like tabs, zincs, etc, contrary to the thinking that it would quiet things down, the chatter and mid range, iron like grunt noise instead increases making it a very...

    what is it? heavy solid copper crawdad claw?

    I cant tell you how much this looks like a cray fish or lobster claw- solid copper, note clean drilled hole in one end. Could that have been an articulation, could it have had a string or chain? Did they ever make toys out of solid copper. Maybe im way off base and its a machine part. The ends...

    Kudos for Fisher Under Warranty Work

    I know its been said here before, Fisher really has their act together re repairs, maintenance etc. I use my machine practically daily maybe 8 or 9 months of the year here in upstate NY. In all kinds of extremes and environs. I have worn some parts quite a bit, requiring attention. Dealing with...

    Bird Encouters

    Ok , I have in the last several years, gotten closer to robins, than any other time in my life. Both times was when Im using my metal detector in the early spring. Do you think the activity stirs up the worms or something in the penetrating electronics stirs them up or draws the birds. Anyone...

    Dix, Flag of our Union Token

    Got this token today at an 1860s estate, up north here in NY state. It is quite forward, "If anybody attempts to tear it down, shoot him on the spot". Im confused as to it being northern or southern? The ones on line say southern, and the ones on line are dated 1863, this one has no date. There...
