    I've been detecting since I was 12 years old, first time finding clad/silver coin spill. How about the rest of you?

    Until today I have never found a silver/clad coin spill. I thought this was odd and posted this question on the explorer forum a few years ago and several had found a coin spill that included both clad and silver. But not me. I've found seated with barber, barber with mercs, mercs with...

    Long time no see LC, found my oldest US coin yesterday

    Hey everyone, Just checked my records, I haven't found a large cent since 2009; hardly seems possible. Too much time up in Minnesota I think, or perhaps screwed up my record keeping. Yesterday was a beautiful day, went for a long bike ride and then headed out detecting. Went back to an old...

    First Coin of the Year.....

    Well, Spring is here in Southern Wisconsin, actually the grass is starting to green up and I should hit some of my favorite spots before it grows too much. I didn't like the first first coin(s) I found this year so I just kept on trying. Went to a park that I have hit fairly hard over the...

    IH in change....

    I took a glance at the bag of change I was getting ready to bring to the bank and see the shield and wreath we MDer's are so familiar with. 1901 Indian head. About once a year I find a wheat or silver in change. Think this may be the first IH for me. Chris

    Took my CTX maiden voyage, First coin- 1925 buffalo.

    Hello All, I did not bother to read the manual. I fired it up and started sweeping our yard. I've been over our yard with my XS with a half dozen coils and my F-75. Signals are VERY few except for the zillion zincolns scattered about. And like most older homes the yard is very dense with...

    Six Indian head afternoon....

    Hello All, Not much detecting going on for me this year. We finally got some rain so it is possible to dig without C4 and a backhoe. Spotted some road construction a week or so ago. Yesterday decided to give it a go. I also asked and received permission at several adjacent houses, one...

    Another one off the bucket list- Seated Half, in Minnesota no less

    Hello all, Between work and bone-dry conditions in southern Wisconsin I've only been out detecting three times this year. I cruised up to Minnesota for a couple weeks R&R last Saturday. Found out the carp (bowfishing- watching your arrow in a thirty pound carp take off across the swamp is a...

    Minnesota Seated for McDave....

    Dave, These are all from Ottertail County. [attachment 233096 MNTrip.jpg] [attachment 233097 Picture136.jpg] [attachment 233098 2011-08-14.jpg] I know the North Dakota gang has found dozens if not hundreds more. But they put in lots of time and miles. You'll find one someday. Chris

    Any testing done on how it handles high EMI environments?

    Might be time to finally replace my XS. I am curious to see more on how the display works, and how well the machine works under power lines. Pretty well convinced that most remaining coins are buried in trash; and that trying to find them in a electrically noisy urban environment makes that a...

    2012 First Post: Art Deco Silver Trifecta... Walker, SLQ, Merc

    Hello All, First time posting this year. Been working too much and lamenting the grass already growing. This and late fall are the best times to detect. Only detected twice thus far and old worked out sites to boot. I got the Merc a few days ago. Then today tried to do a bit before the...

    Imedion Batteries, anybody try them?

    Hey all, I am replacing the tenergy batteries in my battery packs. They were great at first but now don't hold much of a charge. I tried refreshing them with my Lacrosse charger and most tested in the 1300-1500mah range down from the original 2800mah rating. I've since used the low discharge...

    This could be the last time, I don't know....

    Hello all fellow MDers, We had some more warmer weather. Probably could get out a couple more times this week but am headed up to MN. Doubt the ground will be unfrozen there, but I may bring the detector just the same. Just took it apart and cleaned it all up. Amazing how much dirt...

    Seven Silver day in December....

    Hello again, Yes, it did thaw (in places) here in very Southern Wisconsin. Raining right now or I would be out digging again. I ended up heading to a house where I used to live during my late twenties. Pretty sure I had been over the yard with my old Compass Coin Magnum. Don't remember what...

    It budged, it bidged, it boodged... Perhaps a thaw?

    I'm trying to channel the grinch here. We had some temps into the single digits a couple nights ago. Yesterday and today warmer. Poked my screwdriver into the ground yesterday, no go. Today- yes kind of. And warmer weather for the next few days. So I think it is time to do some detecting...

    Shiny on one side....

    Not much detecting this year; even less postable days. Went to one of my old favorites a couple of days ago. This was a site that when I first started detecting it wasn't worthwhile to stand up after digging a target because there would be another within a couple of steps. Ten silver days...

    Minnesota Seated....

    Hello All, Have not been doing much detecting this year. This is the first photo-worthy coin of the year. I've been doing some plumbing work at our cabin up North in MN. As usual anything that could go wrong did go wrong, and a hardware store run is 70 miles. On my second of three such...

    Looking for small coil recommendations....

    Howdy all, Off to a slow start this year, Just a few barbers and mercs. My XS came with the stock and 8" minelab coils when I bought in 2001. Well, the stock quit working a couple three years ago, and last month I put on the 8" and got the detector gone crazy sound even at low sensitivities...
