    A surprise find,,,,

    Was cruising through the flea market and noticed a Teknetics Delta 4000 on a table. It was in gently used condition and functioned good when I turned it on and scanned around my feet. I've had two of these in the past,, and loved them. I didn't need another machine but I couldn't help myself and...

    The MXT was dialed in.

    How do I love the little 5.3 eclipse coil on an MXT,,,,,, let me count the ways. Was out detecting Sunday, going slow with the little coil. Got a solid repeatable high tone and dug a beautiful one piece plug. The plug was six inches deep and stayed together perfectly when I lifted it out of the...

    My first hunt of 2024

    It was pretty cold here today, but I really wanted to test out my MXT with the new rechargeable batteries I bought this week. So decided to hit a small yard just up the road that I have hunted a few times. It is only about 50' x 75' and has only given up a few wheats and one mercury dime. But it...

    Lithium batteries

    Let the rambling begin,,,, I've got too much time I guess. I've got ot some Amazon gift cards burning a hole in my pocket. Considered buying a 6 inch coil for the Nox, but have pretty much talked myself of that. Then started looking at buying a new pinpointer as my ProFind black Garrett are...

    I am torn,,,, your thoughts?

    I've been thinking I want to by the 6" coil for my 600, but I have hesitations as to whether it will really be worth the investment. To begin with, I haven't been overall impressed with the 600. I have trust issues due to a past hunt that handicapped the machine with EMI. But to be fair, I don't...

    A cool little paperweight

    Catching up after the holidays We went for our annual Christmas beach camping trip and I brought along the Equinox 600 to have my second go at beach detecting. As it turned out, it was very cold that weekend and I almost didn't go detecting at all. But, I also wanted to try my new small beach...

    First finds of 2023

    Got out and did a bit of digging this week. All were found using MXT with 6" concentric, except the hand saw badge and rifle sight were found with the Nox 600. If this weeks finds were setting the stage for what was to come,,, I'd say 2023 is looking to be a fine year. Top left was another few...

    Crash Course In Beach Detecting?

    Heading down to the SC coast tomorrow for our annual Christmas camping trip. Gonna throw the Equinox in the truck and if I have a chance will try to swing it a bit. Since I have never detected a beach, I would be most appreciative of any basic tips you could throw my way. Such as,,, do you hunt...

    A few finds yesterday

    I took the Equinox to a new permission yesterday for a short hunt. The night before I had messed with the settings in 4 khz as it has been pretty stable I the park. 10 minutes later I'd had enough and I did a factory reset. Swung Park 1, 5 tones, multi. Turned out to be a bust. After the first...

    Took an old friend detecting today

    All this talk about new machines inspired me to take out a dear old friend today for a couple of hours. This was my first detector with target ID numbers. My toughest decision was deciding which coil to swing. Being a concentric fan, I quickly narrowed it down to the 950. Took it to an empty...

    So lemme just verify,,,,

    Since borrowing a friend 600 I have decided to get a Nox of my own. I was thinking that I had to buy OEM Minelab wireless headphones, but I was just reading that I could buy some aftermarket ones like the ones linked below and they will work just fine? And these would work with the 600 as well...

    Only took six years,,,

    This will seem silly to some,,, I see you guys dig them all the time. I've been detecting for six or so years now. In all that time I have never dug an Indian Head Penny. Well today the empty lot in town gave me my first. Now I just gotta find one from the 1800's.

    Equinox on loan

    So my friend has purchased an Equinox 600 with 11" coil and is a little unsure about it. He has loaned it to me for a couple of days to figure out the basics, and share my findings with him. I've only watched one video so far, but it seems pretty straight forward from a "getting started"...

    As Jeff would say,,,,

    I was the "wheatie king" today,, lol Returned to the empty town lot again today with the Anfibio and 7" concentric coil. My friend brought his new Nox 600 today, so I brought some coins and laid them out on the ground for him to test his new machine on. I also scanned over them and was reminded...

    Junk from empty town lot

    Lately I've been digging an empty lot on main street next to our park. Lots and lots of screw caps and clad. Here's some interesting junk I've dug in the last couple of days. The item on the top left was trash,, or so I thought. Turns out it is a golden foil prophylactic case. Some play money...
