    I hereby propose....

    that everyone on here that lives in the US go to their bank today and get as many of the new Washington dollar coins as they can afford and start spending them. Let's get them into circulation and thereby start getting them lost for us to find. I just got back from the bank with 2 rolls and will...

    And I must say I was totally shocked at what you sent!! What a beautiful and wonderful gift!! I can't tell you how long it's been since anyone ever got me something that I actually liked, but that gift was excellent and I will cherish it till my dying day!! I am humbled by your generosity...

    The 150 gets a new home!!

    I've been threatening to give the 150 I bought a few months back a new home. Well, since it's been so hot around here, I thought it would be a good time to get after it!! Here's the 150's new home. I had to gut the interior first to get the frilly stuff out. [attachment 32182 otter1.jpg]...

    Where can I get...

    some replacement coil bolts and wingnuts? Checked at the local Ace and nothing like it. Anybody found any local without having to order from a dealer of Tesoro. Reason I ask is I stripped the one on my Tejon, pulled the one off my DeLeon and the head promptly popped off of it when tighening (and...

    Finally, it's the weekend...

    and I had time for a hunt this morning. I've been neglecting the Yeller Feller lately, and was getting tired of hearing the whining coming from his bag, so I loaded him in the car this morning and we headed for the soccer fields at the nearby park. He was so happy to get out of his bag and...

    The usual Dirty Money and...

    a few trinkets, too. Been hunting with the 1500 this long weekend and last and thought I'd share a pic of the goodies I managed. Sorry, the Dirty Money is already thrown into the bag in the back of my car, awaiting the tumbler. I was hunting around schools, 1 elem., 1 middle, and 1 high. I was...

    It's a small world or I've got the whole world in my hand...

    I just couldn't figure out which caption to use. Dug this yesterday while on a hunt with Skillet and Tony Two Whites, using my 1500. Rang up as a dime and sized at coin. At first I thought it was a ball bearing, but after a close inspection, I could see it was a globe. Not sure, but I think it's...

    Interesting story

    PHILADELPHIA - The U.S. Mint seized 10 Double Eagle gold coins from 1933, among the rarest and most valuable coins in the world, that were turned in by a jeweler seeking to determine their authenticity. Joan S. Langbord plans a federal court lawsuit to try to recover them, her attorney, Barry...

    Why us Texas boys have so much trouble finding a place to hunt.

    Check this link. I was out there the morning the reporter was interviewing Scott. No mention of me, thank goodness, as I was finding gold rings while they were talking. By reading it, you will see that pretty much all of the parks are off limits for detectorists. The "crater diggers" have ruined...

    Avery rings

    Had about an hour and a half to hunt this morning before the heat gets to bad. Was hunting at the practice field behind the high school and was getting just a few clads when the 250 notched in hard on a quarter and up came this nice silver ring.(first pic) Fond one yesterday at the lake with my...

    GTA 1000 PM finds..

    plenty of goodies!! Traded my niece a 250 that I got a good deal on (I still have mine) for the 1000 PM I gave her last year. Put on a 5" Ferret Hothead and hit a middle school for 2 hrs.and a local park for 1 1/2 hrs this morning. I originally got the 1000 on e-bay for her and had never tried...

    Little Bauble!!

    Went for a short hunt this morning before my doctor's visit. Only had about an hour so I hopped in the Cruiser with the little 250 armed with the sniper coil and headed to the local swimming pool just a few blocks from the house. Got the usual clad and this nice little Sterling Silver necklace...

    Saturdays meager plunder

    Not too much this Saturday, but being in the cool water instead of schlepping around on the rock hard, parched Texas soil was worth it. Took the Diver to a local lake and managed a ring and a couple of earrings, all cheapos, along with the usual clads. Maybe the Gold gods will smile on me next...

    Took the Yeller Feller out...

    this morning for a 3 hr. hunt. It had been getting lonely as I have been water hunting the past couple of weekends and not doing too much land hunting cuz of this wretched heat. Well, I went back to a spot at the local middle school that has been producing a nice bunch of clad for me. I have...

    A-cladding I did go!!

    Haven't posted any pics in awhile so here goes. I was using the 250 with the Super Sniper coil. This comes from a middle school just a few blocks from the house. It's a new school, just 3 years old. Have never hunted there because of that, but figured by now, there should be a pretty good...

    It's silver but...

    the set had fallen out and I couldn't find it in the surrounding dirt. Ratz!! But it's still a big honkin' hunk of Sterling. Was swinging the 1500 out behind the P'ville High School yesterday after work. I had other stuff to do at home, but I said "Fahgitaboutit" and hit some dirt and grass for...
