    Desert Dweller going to Florida Need advice

    Well next week I will go to Florida. I am hoping I will not get any resistance in bringing my MXT and my wife's ACE 250 in our bags on the flight. Has anyone had any experience with this? Also I am not sure I will need to take all my coils, I could sure use some help determining which will be...

    Another one of those Dumb things not to do.

    Of all of mans creations, the rock tumbler has got to be one of the simplest, right? One might think, "now here is a device so simple no one could mess it up, right? Well a week and a half ago I drove the considerable round trip distance of 102 miles to reach civilization and I picked up a dual...

    A Question for Monte and anyone else with Ideas.

    I have been using a "4X7 DD EXCEL COIL DFX/MXT " for most of my city park coin-shooting, with great success I might add. I think one time you might have told me the dimensions of this coil are a little different than I usually type it. Anyway my question is, only those whom actually own the 5"...

    Pinpointing with the ECLIPSE DEEPSCAN DD 1400

    I did some experimenting today, as I have been a little confused now and then when using this coil. I decided to pinpoint and item with the coil very carefully. I then placed the coil on the ground and traced the shape of the coil on the ground before digging the target. By careful use of the...

    How can you test if ring is silver

    Tonight while MDing in the dark,(I was delayed getting out due to a small problem at home). Anyway while out digging in the dark I decided to try one more swing before quitting. (How many times have we heard that?) I found my second ring with the MXT, the first one was obviously silver plated...

    Well anybody ever have a bomb go off in their house?

    WOW! I learned an interesting lesson today. I have been tumbling some corroded pennies in some aquarium gravel I just bought for the task. After about 24 hours of tumbling I still had green corrosion on some of the coins. Tonight on my way home from work I was talking to a friend who suggested I...

    Questions about tumbling coins

    I already own a Vibratory tumbler that I have been using for my brass reloading. I tried my coins in it an I have discovered that Walnut shells are just not even going to make a dent in my coins. I have played with the idea of buying a drum style tumbler, if I do it will probably be a dual drum...

    Detecting in a grave? Or near a grave.

    I came across an piece of desert today that has a few lonely grave sites scattered across several miles. There are a few old broken down Adobe houses in the area, not Indian but early settlers and farmers. It appears they buried a fair amount of their families not far from their homes I guess...

    Wow what a find this weekend

    As any of you could robably guess the purchase of an MXT, a 4x7 coil, an Eclipse DeepScan 1400, a Bullseye Probe (Usless) and a few other accessories can run into a collection of gear worth well in excess of a $1000.00. Like any fine piece of exreem quality electronics gear one feels a need for...

    The success stories are great but...about those bad Ideas

    The success stories are great but after getting my butt kicked tonight I was wondering if anyone has ever thought about a post for the dumb stuff we have done and wont do again. My hunt tonight is a good example of a bad Idea. I did not have long until dark so I set of in a hurry. (That right...
