    Thumbtacks...

    Anybody else get these from time to time? Sounds like a perfect deep silver hit. Chris

    Very local hunt yields SLQ and friends....

    We had plenty of rain lately so the ground conditions are perfect. Went in to the nearest town and hit the old school grounds that I have hit many times before. Got a 1901 V nickel and a pretty sweet 1919 merc and war nickel. And the $1 coin. We should petition that Zincon cents be...

    Road trip Silver and IHs

    Hello All, Up in Minnesota. Went down to the southern part of the state where it is not bone dry. Found a few sites with some coins. This is from three days of detecting, probably 8-10 hours total. And now we have a couple of inches of rain locally so I can get out again. [attachment...

    A Haircut and two shaves.... Big Barber day...

    Darn it Knipper. I thought of this title for my post last night and this morning I see you used up this month's allotment of Barber humor. But I will stay the course. I'm back up in Minnesota, where the soil is kind to copper. We finally got a bit of rain last week so I dared to venture out...

    Any recommendations for first water detector?

    Hello All, Thinking of taking the plunge and getting a water/wader machine. I currently have a Minelab XS and Fisher F-75. Any and all opinions appreciated. Chris

    Interesting report from Minelab comparing the E-Trac to the V3

    Carl, When the Explorers first came out there was some info on how many frequencies were processed, and it varied with the noise channel selected. My understaning is that frequencies that fell near powerline harmonics where excluded. I seem to recall that the number actually used varied...

    Any Ideas, A mini-cannon?

    Hello all, Also posted this on the explorer forum. Found it last time out detecting at an old farmsite. Appears to be copper or brass. [attachment 126343 all.jpg] [attachment 126344 TopView.jpg] The small hole visible in the top picture meets the main bore at the very bottom of the bore...

    Any ideas on what this is?

    Found this last time out. Appears to be copper brass. Small hole goes down to meet the larger bore. [attachment 126215 all.jpg] Thanks, Chris

    Finally broke the 1830 barrier, and Murphy had a day off.....

    It wasn't 75 and sunny today, but still warm enough and I was hoping the ground had continued to thaw. I went back to the farm house I was at a couple of days ago and had another very good day. Still frozen in spots but diggable in most places. [attachment 120873 Picture140.jpg] Silver was a...

    150 year old grass

    Forgot this from my last post.... [attachment 120747 Picture106.jpg] When I dug up the 1854 LC yesterday I popped this clump of dirt out of the ground before I retrieved the coin. You can see the impression of the coin. I thought I had a nice silver coin, going by the XS's ID, but the...

    First time out this year, sunny and 75 F, even if I didn't find a thing it would be a good day......

    But I did find some stuff. I have driven by this farm house for years. Last Sunday was out putzing around with the girlfriend and saw a car at the house. No one home but then saw someone at the house next door and stopped and asked if he knew who owned it. He said he did. Was born and grew...

    How do you reset cookies for Findmall?

    I asked this on the feedback forum with no replies. I'd like to have the Posts and Topics for the forums I don't read to not show up in red. Hit Mark all forums read once and now they all show up. I tried deleting the findmall cookie from my computer but once I log back in they all show up...

    How do you reset cookies for this site....

    For some reason I feel I need to occasionally read the "NEW" topics and posts on Findmall, even on forums I'm really not interested in. I would like to start fresh. Seems "Mark all forums read" lights up all the forums. I tried deleting the findmall cookie from my computer but when I log in...

    This could be the last time.... Ground frozen in places...

    I got out for an hour of detecting late afternoon. Ground was frozen around trees and other places where the soil was up higher than the rest. We may get a couple inches of snow tonight, even with temps up to 40 or so during the day it might be the end for the year. Chris Haven't found much...

    E-trac free.... Just a coin pic

    Hello all, Did some detecting at a couple of farm houses. We finally got a bunch of rain so soil conditions are perfect. I'm back up in West Central MN, in sandy soil country, always amazed how shallow the coins are. Topsoil builds very slowly around here. [attachment 104836...

    Removing Stock Coil Cover

    Howdy, I've been hunting construction sites and have noticed a bunch of dirt has gotten in the coil cover. I know that can screw up detectors and I've removed the covers on my other detector's coils. Tried to remove the cover on the F-75 and it doesnt seem to want to come off. Any...

    More Terrace trolling.....

    Hello All, I saw that they were getting ready for sod at the construction project near me. They haven't removed as much dirt as they have on some other sites; not sure they are going to or not. If they do I will be back. But for now that translates in to less older finds. [attachment 101603...
