    The mother of all Wheaties!!!!!!!!!!

    Seldom do I post but I figured this one was worthy... It came out in a portland area park 7-8" I've literally found 1000's of wheats and this is the first real Key date besides a few 11s's. Completely stoked. also found an 09 indian but couldn't find an "s" on that one. I soaked it in olive...

    GOLD COIN HEARTSTOPPER!!!

    WOW! So I seldomly post on this forum unless I find something amazing to keep up with the best of them, but thought this was worthy! :surprised: So I am doing this thing called silver wars with a local club here in Portland OR and have been hitting newer but older (pre 64) sites to pick up...

    Night hunting at the old school with BIG silver score:surprised:

    Had a long stressful day day tending our twin 18 month old boys today, so decided to go take a stroll at an old school house (1925). I have detected here a few times a few years ago with very few results. I talked to a guy that claims he pulled over 100 silvers out of the football field over...

    On a hot streak for oldies!!:super:

    Well....I was absolutely stunned to pull this beauty out of the ground. I showed up to a homesite built in the mid 1800's was granted permission and began hunting. Powerlines were overhead and made detecting a nightmare, not to mention the ground literally has a nail every couple inches. Only...

    Surprising day!!

    Had a great day out detecting today. Between jobs this afternoon i swung by a "new" older park from the 20's. Very few high tones and tons of trash. I did manage a merc, surprisingly old 1879 indian, and this beauty from about 8". Our local club has hit this park numerous times with 20 plus...

    Just Received by coin back from ANACS

    I found this seated dime a couple weeks back and thought it was worthy of being graded. Just thought I would share a picture. It graded a bit higher than I expected, however the "cleaned" was a dissapointment, because I tried taking extra care with it. Is "cleaned" typical of a silver being...

    A first, and a Purty one at that!!!

    Havn't really posted on here in awhile, but couldn't not post this one. 1871 S Seated dime. When I first popped this coin out I saw the back first and figured Barber, so I was pretty excited. But then I flipped it over and about fell to the ground. This marks my first seated coin, and first...

    Strange little monkey!

    Found this in front of a pre 1900's homesite in the sidewalk strip. Does anyone have any clue what it is? I can't find a thing out about it! It is about 3 inches tall and 2 inches wide, perhaps a money clip of sorts? it's marked sterling and has a patent date of April 16th 1901

    High sensitivity with threshold constantly nulled out!!!

    I have seen many posts on the forum, as to whether or not you can still find targets with the threshold completly nulled out. I have hit this same area with low sensitivity, and auto sensitivity and found nothing. Yesterday I cranked the sensitivity up to 25 and crept along about 1 swing every...

    Awesome Machine!

    I just recently upgraded from the quattro to the SE pro. I don't think I will ever pick the quattro up again!!! I have just been running semi auto sensitivity at 26, with all factory presets but running IM at 22. It's not turning out to be a "huge" learning curve because of the similarity to...

    Bryces Settings

    I just recently switched from a quattro to an SE. Let me tell ya this thing is incredible. I've been playing with the settings trying to figure them all out, and was just curiouse what settings bryce uses. I got the owners manual with the detector, and andy told me they were in there...

    Just Upgraded Quattro to Explorer SE

    Took the plunge and got a used SE with Koss headphones, rechargeable battery pack, and Explorer Hand book $750.00 I thought it was a great price, based on his wife telling me he has only used it twice! The Quattro treated me good, but I think due to the slow recovery speed I may have been...

    1926 S Merc

    I mentioned previously about a merc I had found. I hit a local park that had alot of traffic in the late 30's early 40's anyways, I pulled this beauty out, minus the little nick I made in it:ranting: It was barely a signal, and I usually pass this type up, but for some reason I had hope for...

    Quattro Snags Big Silver!!!

    Was out to one of my local parks yesterday. Land was donated in 1930, park was designed with a grand opening in 1935. Newspaper articles from the 1940's claim "people flooded to the park in the thousands". This definately sparked an intrest. Right before dark I found a spot that hadn't been...

    Thanks to the Quattro

    I just wanted to share some of the finds that I have made with the quattro, well the better stuff anway. I couldnt fit the buckets of wheats I found on the scanner, Hope the pics come out good!!! It's funny to think how many hours we spend just to find so little, yet there is never enough time...

    Just ordered the 10x12 EXcelerator Coil for Minelab

    Hey to all of you fellow Quattro users. I don't post a whole lot due to a lot of work, and the little bit of swing time I do manage to squeeze in. It has been a great year with the quattro, and I am very pleased with my quattro. I read about people bashing the quattro all the time. I just...

    Need some honest opinions

    So I have been a quattro owner for the past 2 years, and love the machine dont get me wrong. But I have been looking at an Explorer XS and am thinking about moving on up! The XS is quite a few years older then the Quattro, but performance wise is it a better machine? is there much difference...

    Quattro VS. Exlplorer SE

    I have owned a quattro now for about a year. I have nothing to complain about because I have found some decent finds with it, but because of the slow recovery speed I feel like I am going right over alot of the better deeper targets. I have the smaller 6" coil, but it doesn't seem to help out a...

    new to water hunting

    Was thinking about diving with a metal detector! located an awesome lake to metal detect, everything on land is found, but in the late 1800's early 1900's this lake was used as a huge swimming resort with slides boat rentals swimming lessons, the whole shibang!!! this lake is relatively small...
