    Where did all the metal detectors go.

    Yes, i neglected to mention the clad... gas money. I use to do over $1,000 a years. I live at the Jersey shore. Place is packed all summer. If Im lucky, maybe a few hundred this year. Between the use of plastic and phones, and the fact the whole Jersey Shore was replenished after hurricane...

    Where did all the metal detectors go.

    Continue.....Then the Equinox came a long just in time as my last Sovereign Gt bit the dust. The Nox was plagued with all sorts of problems and only lasted 3 years when it died. Crack in the handle. Luckily Deus 2 came along and solved all the chattering issues with multi-frequency. For the...

    Where did all the metal detectors go.

    Since Im a beach hunter for the last 25 years, Ive only used Minelabs Sovereigns & Excaliburs. Probably went through a dozen Sovereign because they werent water-proof and hip mounted.

    Has anyone attempted to send in 'mutilated' coins aka zinc pennies since they revamped the whole process ?

    Never knew home forges were very popular. I dont think in my neck of the woods, Jersey Shore, there would be a demand. I did sell my lead to a guy who re-cast and made new fishing weights. However, He said he'd never buy salt water weights again as there was tons of smoke and too much 'crap'...

    Has anyone attempted to send in 'mutilated' coins aka zinc pennies since they revamped the whole process ?

    The ones I have are VERY crusty. If tumbled they may just disintegrate !!!! Postage is not a big issue as I live close to Philly. I remember using a flat rate box which you can ship up to 70 pounds. I netted between $80-90. If you think of all the time spent Digging them, at least I get...

    I did pretty good back in the old days since Philly mint is next door The new process seemed to be very complicated. it appeared you had to be a business and get prior approval. Been saving my corroded pennies waiting for the new program. i have 6 beach pails full !!!! TIA Donna(NJ)

    I have aquestion concerning the Minelab X-Terra Elite

    Stay away from the Nox 600 & 800. They were plagued with numerous build problems. That's why they came out with the 700 & 900 !!! My 600 lasted all of 3 years and went through 3 batteries because it was giving me a battery error. There was no way to fix the control unit except to replace...

    Since we are all frozen in and not much in the 'What's new' category, Thought I'd start a thread, 'What's some of your weirdest finds ??'

    Way back when they use to make jewelry out Merc dimes. In fact, I think I have a Merc head cutout someplace !!! Takes a very steady hand to cut those out !!! Another cool find !!! Stay warm !!! Donna(NJ)

    Differences between the Manicore and the E 900

    What a coincidence, I was just talking to a friend about getting a new machine. It is between the Deus 2 and Nox 900. I love my Deus 2 mainly because of the weight. Shoulder is shot after swinging heavy machines for 25 years !! He asked what I didnt like about it ??? Battery capacity I...

    I recently found one of the strangest rings ever. It looks like someone melted something down and very crudely soldered it together, Its quite heavy. Dont have testing kit, so I dont know metal. I was cherry picking only high tones, so I suspect its silver. Ugliest thing I ever saw and...
