    Custom Silver site revisit

    Went back to search again at my friend the silver smiths lawn. The very first thing I found was his wifes high school ring. Then I found a nonrolled celtic silver pattern.-that is before it is made circular into a ring. Finally as pictured here, a ring he made years ago and lost. It looks better...

    "Custom Made" Silver finds

    Today was fantastic weather. Visited a friends place (1850's). It is so close to the creek you could scoop water out the kitchen window! He is a silversmith really into anachrnism and styles his pieces in celtic and ancient forms. Any way I was hoping for some old coins. After about 20 mins with...

    ?'s on Plank Roads

    a property owner gave me permission to search the old "plank road" on his property. Theres probably about 1/8 of a mile of it at least. Historically I did find reference to plank roads in that area of the county. Do the roads ever appear as what would look like a shallow, canal? Perhaps about 15...

The piano light I used in forground lighting made some look gold, especially the first two in the third column from the left. One of the better is the...

    a forum member wanted to see this tool holder

    Here is a pic of a tool holder I found, very, very durable, yet very cheap. Before I got my Lesche, I was using the same digger as this forum member was, see pic. It fits nicely in there. You can also put it in the opposite way with the blade outward. Now I use it to hold my Garrett propointer...

    Dont know about this. Found two, recently misplaced one I think under the kitchen stove! Found by old church. Gold plate I believe. A Ceasar like fellow with 4 stars to the left and 3 to the right of the profile. Fairly light weight. Just smaller than a dime. Note small hole, perhaps went on...

    Penny ID Reliability, F70 versus F75

    F75 owners who previously owned the F70. Does the F75 do better at screening pennies out than the F70? I know no machine is perfect and there always is the element of surprise with all machines due to depth, soil conditions, tuning, etc. On my F70, Pennies, depending on their depth id as dimes...

    Civil War heel plate?

    Here is the plate I found in a cellar whole in NY state (private land, with permission). Also several spoons from there whose profile dates them 1840-1850. Im wondering if this is too small to be authentic for a soldiers boot, I heard they where later issued for the public. Can anyone judging...

    High Disc level affecting depth ability on F70?

    Been using my f70 several months now. Like it. Im reading recommendations to run the disc level at like 20 or less. Does using high levels of disc reduce the depth during operation? Perhaps their are more factors than that. I've routinely use high disc, and yes Im finding coins o plenty but...

    With the f70, I'm sure to take my shovel

    Ive used my F70 three times for a short while, each time adjusting the machine with advice from here on the forum. In my yard I was foolin with it just to get used to its sounds, and I got a 1934 Silver quarter at 8". My house was built in 1947. Then I went to our very old zoo, well worked...

    Ground Balancing the F70 I just got today

    Thanks for input I am getting on threasholds and sensitivity levels. I took it out and indeed it seemed slightly chatty in discriminatioin mode, kind of like when I use my F4 in all metal discrimination mode. I will try all your suggestions. I was totally happy with the F4, and got the F70...

    Unknown button id needed

    Can you folks help identify this button found near three others. The folks there claim it was Civil War. While tempted to say Excelsior, I do not see the 4 divisions in the shield at all, but either what looks like a bird, and insect or an aeroplane. It says on the back Brattleboro, Mass. It has...

    Well I ordered the F70. It needs a few days to get here. The first place Im headed is to that cellar hole I mentioned before. I may have a bunch of ? for you all.
