    F4 silver coins and pic

    My last post was about finding a florin and a halfpenny...since then I found a sixpence (1940) and a threepence (1915) and another halfpenny (1943). The florin is from 1947 and is 50% silver, and the sixpence and threepence are both 92.5% silver....you can see the difference in how clean the 6d...

    First silver with the F4

    I got my F4 back about mid-July, and have not regretted buying it one bit. With the 11" DD coil it is great for those wide open spaces and I've had a fair bit of success with it hunting around and over football fields etc. Today I noticed an area which had been graded and bulldozed by the...

    Hi Blowfly, W & E Treasure

    magazine have got Silver and Gold Annuals for sale, you can buy all from 1996 to 2008 for about $40 US. Just go to the W & E Treasure website (google it)....you may be able to get them individually as well...you could get cjc's article a bit faster that way. Sapper.

    Starting to get used to the F4

    I've had the F4 for almost a month now, but haven't had a chance to use it much. Took it out for a good session today...23 coins for $23.35 (AUD).I'm finding the F4 a very likeable machine, with good separation and great depth. Of the 23 coins, only 2 or 3 were still in the grass, the rest...

    Excal on washed out beach

    I bought a new Excalibur towards the end of last year with the hope that I would be able to do a bit of summer surf detecting. The best laid plans etc. etc..and July came round and I still hadn't used the machine. Howver, a few weeks ago I was able to make the trip to the east coast of NSW for...

    Got the F4

    Firstly, thank you to all who unselfishly gave your views and ideas on the various Series F detectors I enquired about. At first I asked about the F70 and the F5, then about the F5 and the F4. I decided to go with the F4 for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I have never had or used a Fisher...

    X Terra 70 + beach

    Last weekend I visited a beach on the East coast of NSW....I haven't been to this part of the coast for over 18 months, and when I saw the beach I was shocked...the whole beach was about 2' lower than normal, parts of a huge retaining wall had been eroded to the point of collapse etc....there...

    F4 and F5 owners, please!

    Hi, I dont have a Fisher's detector, and have never yet had one. I would like to get an F75 (definitely cant afford) or an F 70 (dont think I can afford), but circumstances may dictate that I start my Fisher's experience with a lesser model. Am thinking in terms of F5 or F4. Have read good...

    Is there more than 1 proud XT505 user out there?

    Just like to hear what you think of the 505. I have the XT 70, and am thinking of getting a 505 as a backup. Would be using it mainly for coins and jewellery inland, but might also take it to a salt beach or two. Help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sapper.

    Took My xTerra & Eldorado out on Friday:surrender:

    Took the X Terra 70 for a spin first and found the coins and token on the right. Eldorado picked up the ones on the left, using the 5.75 coil.All coins have been cleaned up before photographing. Some of the coins found with the XT were fairly deep, and the audio and digital readout were not...

    Anyone else had this problem?

    Was out hunting today and after about an hour every time I put the detector on the ground, it turned itself off. It wasn't falling over, I was putting it down gently. Thought it may have been battery compartment problem at first. Then I started doing some tests. Held the detector up parallel...

    Going back CAN be good:clapping:

    This morning I had to go into town, so thought I'd take the X Terra 70 with me for the ride (and an hour's detecting) I went to a spot where I'd found and 1910 3d about a month ago. 1910 was the first year that Australia had its own coinage, so the 3d was a special one for me. Found a number...

    Day off + car getting fixed= detecting:smile:

    I put the car in for servicing and left them to it with my trusty Eldorado U max broken down and in a carry bag, together with other necessary stuff. Went to the first area I'd planned to visit, an old park where the odd surprise still awaits: found $1x2,20c,10c x2, 5c and a Japanese 100 Yen...

    dont be afraid of losing depth with a smaller coil

    I was hunting a site which Ihave only been to a few times, but it has been hunted fiercely by others. The first time I went there I used the 10x5 DD coil and found 13 coins and a small 9 K gold ring. Since then I changed my coil to the 6" concentric and have found a further 63 coins (no more...

    I'm really impressed by the way you guys in thye U.S.

    really go out of your way to try to get class rings and high school rings back to their owners. I haven't found that many gold rings, but have been able to return one to the owners...a 9k three tone gold wedding ring..it felt good to get it back to the people who lost it. Was just wondering...

    I wonder if Minelab would be interested

    in allowing owners of the first range of X Terras i.e. X terras 30, 50 & 70, to simply buy a new control box of the new models (305,505 & 705) rather than the whole kit & kaboodle. Anyone who has the orginal XT 70, for example, already has the pole and at least one coil. I have four different...

    The only time I leave a racecourse better off than when I arrived

    is when the races aren't on and I take my detector with me. Today I visited our local country racecourse. Only been there a couple of times before. First time I went my first or second probe went straight into a hole made by another detectorist. I was sort of expecting it. I didn't expect...

    Hello everyone

    My first time of posting on the forums. I have a few different brands of metal detectors (dont we all), and have been viewing for long enough....Time to be involved..Love to read about the experiences of other detectorists and have benefited from many of the posts. Would enjoy, from time to...

    XT70 Smaller coils

    Hi, I'm new around here and know you guys have posted heaps on smaller coils etc etc. The success I've had with smaller coils on all my detectors, not just the X Terra, is really great. Lowering the sensitivity and slowing down the swing speed leads to increased finds of what others have...
