    Probe

    Hi all. I took about a two year hiatus from detecting and recently picked up an SE. I wanted to put a Sunray X-1 probe on it but Sunray says they don't make them anymore. Any suggestions for a probe are greatly appreciated. Maybe another probe like the X-1 because they sure made changing...

    Pinpointer

    I'm back into MD'ing after about a four year hiatus and recently bought an SE Pro. On my old EX II I used the SunRay probe but I'm looking for a pinpointer that functions independently of the detector. Anyone have any suggestions on a good pinpointer other than the SunRay? Thanks for your input.

    Pittsburgh City Park

    Two hours this morning at the Northside city park. Leaves and seed pods and big acorns and all of that stuff are starting to get in the way. 03 Barber quarter was the first silver here in about three weeks. The wheaties are 1910, 1918, 1920 and 1940 and the Indian is a really decent 1904...

    2 hr city park hunt

    Got out for 2 hours this morning in our oldest Pittsburgh city park. I can't get decent photos with my camera on the cents. Any suggestions on how to scan them. Anyway, hunting with the EX II and the 10X12 SEF coil I found a 1901 Queen Victoria Hong Kong cent, 1892, 1896 and 1904 Indians and...

    More Silver from the City Park

    4 hour hunt today in the Pittsburgh North Side city park and scored again with the 10 X 12 SEF coil on the EX II. I love this coil. 1914 and 1916 Barber dimes, an 1875 seated that I dug to China to get (10 to 12 inches deep) and a 20, 23 , another 28 and 39 Mercs. Most silver in one day for...

    Sunday Finds

    Since my golf season (my first passion) is winding down I'm getting out for some hunting. I actually prefer detecting from late September until the ground freezes since there are less people around, less annoying insects and the ground is generally more saturated with moisture and easier to dig...

    1914-D Lincoln

    I finally got out this morning with my new SEF 10X12 coil to the pounded out old park in my suburban Pittsburgh neighborhood. I managed to get an 1896 and an 1905 Indian and a 1914-D Lincoln. The date and mintmark on the Lincoln is clearly readable. The coin is almost black and there is some...

    Virginia Beach

    I had a golf trip to the Outer Banks cancelled so I have three days to kill at my son's house in the Virginia Beach area. Since he will be working during the day I figure I'll take my EX II and hit the beach. Does anyone from the area know of a metal detector store in that area? I need a sand...

    Fooled!

    Using the EX II I generally hunt using the digital screen primarily and switch to smart find to verify. I hunted a local ballfield today that was probably built in the fifties. I've found a handful of mercs and rosies and wheaties this year. It was cold and rainy and I wasn't finding much. I...

    tumbler

    I just got a tumbler from Kellyco. Unfortunately it comes with absolutely no instructions or tips for cleaning coins and no compounds or anything to add to the mixture. Anyone have any methods that work for them that doesn't involve ordering and buying exotic and/or expensive cleaning agents all...

    Tumbler

    Can anyone recommend a particular tumbler or brand of tumbler to clean some of this clad? There's so many to choose from on the Internet and I have no idea of what's good or what's junk. The lady at the bank ragged on me today for bringing in all these dirty coins.

    Grid

    Is it really much more productive to, let's say, work a grid north to south after working it east to west??

    January park finds

    I found these coins this month while the weather was still warm. Got these in a local park in a spot I worked that was approximately 20 X 30 feet. I think I finally figured out how to use this camera. All of our local parks have been hunted heavily over the years I'm told. Obviously none too...

    VA Beach

    We're headed to Virginia Beach next week for some R & R. Staying up around the 3100 area. My wife insists I take my detector. She says I'll be bored since I'm a very early riser and she and my daughter sleep late. I think she really just wants some free additions to her jewelry box. Anyway...

    Wondering

    I hunt in the Pittsburgh, Pa area. One of the places I've tried is a place on the North Side of Pittsburgh which consists of two parks, East Park and West Park. Last year I read a book on Allegheny City, which is what this North Side area was known as 100+ years ago. It closely borders the...

    Explorer II

    Does anyone know if I can use the Explorer II with the Platypus coil in shallow water (less than 12 inches). With all the rivers and lakes in Western PA I'd like to give them a try.

    Community Park Finds

    I got these this morning at our local park two blocks from my house. The house in the park, which is now the community library, dates to 1875. The WL was found near the front of the house and the seated was found near where the community swimming pool was once located. The wheaties are 1915...

    Program

    Can anyone help me with a program for the EX II. I need something for hunted out parks. I've been hunting our neighborhood park for two years and it seems to have dried up regarding silver. It goes back to the 1870's. I'm finding indians still but no silver anymore and I can't believe it's...
