    Folly Beach, SC and ID Edge results

    First of all, it is a great vacation site. Had great weather and spent 3 nice days on the beach. Now on to metal detecting. I printed out the tide tables and knew the low tide times and hit the beach. Turns out the Fisher ID Edge will just not work in salt water. It would not ground balance in...

    Hi, I am going to Folly Beach during the last part of this September. First time with a metal detector. My inclination is to put my Fisher ID Edge in the "All Metal" mode and start walking and swinging. I have read "water hunting" secrets of the pros by Clive James Clynick and picked up some...

    book for newbies on Treasure Hunting

    Speaking as a newbie, Michael Chaplan's, "The Urban Treasure Hunter" (How to find, unearth and identify valuable artifacts) was a very good read with lots of helpful information. Of course a lot of the same stuff can be learned by reading this forum.

    ID Edge Digital Readout Is this normal? I seem to be getting a lot of +28 to +30 readings to indicate coins but ended up being plow fragments or aluminum cans. I scanned these again with some other coins to see if my ID Edge (brand new) is performing correctly. It seems to be. I set to all...

    On the large property that I can search has 8 homesites marked on an old topo map. The primary site is known to me, where I found a copper spoon.

    Hi gang, Hunted the old home site on the farm and found this copper spoon or scoop. Came up a solid 21 on the ID Edge. My question is that when hunting with ear phones I get lots of +20, +25, +36 readings with audio signals that are faint and tend to be out on the edges of each swing. But...

    How old? What is this?

    Started working the farm with some nice 1800 old home sites. My first find was this spoon. On the ID Edge it comes up +21 which indicates it is copper. Appears to be copper since rubbing off some dirt shows the green oxide and some dull copper color. My neighbor says he will bet a nickle that...
