    HI HO SILVER!:bouncy:

    Yahoo! Got my first silver quarter today (1943) and another wheaty (1945). I had a chance to hit my parents property (circa 1936) and since I have been over it before I decided to check all iffy signals. I would remove a 4" plug and recheck the hole and if the signal improved; I would go for it...

    GTI 2500 coil advice appreciated but now confused:shrug:

    Well thanks for all your help with my "coil best suited for prospecting" question but i am still not sure. Talked to someone at kellyco and he thought maybe the 5" excelerator coil as it is a DD. Garrett tech. was not sure about the excelerator but thought the 5x10 scorcher would be well suited...

    GTI 2500 coil advice needed

    Hi guys, have not posted in a while (a long time). I have a question about using my 2500 for hunting small nuggets in California's gold country rivers IE. Yuba, American. I saw a post from a few months back where someone prefered the 9.5 stock coil to the 4.5 sniper coil or the 5x10 scorcher...

    MY FIRST GOLD!

    Well here it is, my first gold in the form of a 14k hair pin. It hit solid nickle on the meter, the rest is a key and a silver ring. I have been trying a few areas that are not really yielding much but they are old areas and you never know. I also found some clad but you all know what that looks...

    NEW METHOD FINDS SAC!

    I heard Bill mention to someone with a 4.5" sniper that he should lower his sens. to 1 get right up against play equipment poles. So I lowered my sens. to 3 which is the lowest setting on the 2500 and that allowed me to get almost 2" from some equipment. Now, I have hit this park hard before so...

    DECENT HALF DAY!:clapping:

    Hit one of my local parks and finished off the other half I couldn't get to last time. I found my first mercury with the 2500 (1927 hit by mower) @ 2". The rest is all clad and of course the gazzilion pull tabber wabbers. My most quarters yet in one hunt and some of those nickles and pull...

    IS IT SAFE TO SAY........:shrug:

    That if I dig more pull tabs than coins, the last guy was not looking for jewelry? Does that mean I am not discriminating properly? I dig anything nickle and above that gives a good signal and is in the B range. Need to know if I am pulling rookie mistakes because I have yet to find gold rings...

    First 08 Hunt

    Well not all hunts can be productive, at least thats what I tell myself. Went to an old spot I originally hit with my ADS and with every swing I seemed to get two target signals from all darn shell casings. I kinda gave up after two hours because it was a bit annoying with all the lead and brass...

    JANUARY 24, 1848

    This is where it all happened; [attachment 77184 IMGP06132.JPG] Gold was found, and 160 years later I got skunked just like the the original miners who thought they were going to just have to pick the stuff off the ground. Here I am with the pan, [attachment 77185 IMGP06152.JPG] I stayed with...

    SECOND HUNT & SECOND RING W/2500:clapping:

    I got some swings in this morning at another local park and was quickly disappointed with the play set area, I only got 2 penny's and it was clear someone had picked this area clean. I moved on to the lawn area and I could not believe the signals I was getting, it was like they had fertilized...

    FIRST TIME OUT!

    My first real hunt with the 2500 had me a little concerned at first but I am learning its method. I tried "all metal" but it was picking up everything so I tried "coins" mode and ended up on"zero" mode.I used the 12.5 coil for about 5min. but quickly put on the 9" because I seem to pinpoint...

    REVISED DUST-COVER GTA GTI NOW AVAIL........:lol:

    At your grocery store, A sandwich bag works great! Quick, easy, durable, cheap and offers great visibility and you can toss it at the end of each hunt. I keep the flap towards the front and tape it underneath (blue tape). [attachment 75797 IMGP0182.JPG] Well I got my 2500 on Friday and been...

    2500 QUESTION

    I just received my GTI2500 and my ADS shed a tear, but I assured it that it would stay as backup. I can not play with GTI until my B-day(per Mrs. clause) however I already have questions and will have many more. How does the stock coil work in trashy locations, how does the target ID work upon...

    EARLY MORNING HUNT

    Took the ADS to my favorite park and had a few swings for about 3 hours this morning.This seems to be my best haul yet, the most quarters for sure. It wasn't till I got home and inspected the trash to find what I originally thought was stainless bailing wire to be a diamond earing. (FIRST...

    WELL I TRIED

    I was able to get two quick 45min. hunts in yesterday and today trying some experimental areas. These areas are on the down-slope of a college parking lot and I theorized that change would be lost while digging for keys while entering the car. Well it was just a theory and not much change. After...

    JUST A BIT BETTER:clapping:

    Was up at the crack of (or just before) dawn to head to the local park in the woods to get a few swings in before work just like yesterday. I did better and was able to leave a bit more positive. Nothing exciting but little more coinage. [attachment 74409 IMGP0158.JPG]

    FIRST BARK LOT YIELDS LITTLE:clsoedeyes:

    I hit my first bark lot, I guess toddlers don't carry much cash. They do lose a lot of buttons, figure I would post a not-so-hot day. [attachment 74332 IMGP0155.JPG]

    IS MEDAL DETECTING A SPORT OR HOBBY?

    If it is a sport, does that make me an athlete?

    HELP DECIDING:shrug:

    Looking at upgrading from my Master Hunter 7 since I have the detecting bug. I have looked at all the detectors and I am isolating down to a few. The gtp1350 tends to get better reviews than the gti2500 or is that because its in a different class? Whites dfx seems to get really good reviews...

    MASTER HUNTER FINDS RING AND BARBER:clapping:

    Went to old high school and was expecting to find some new clad but came up with a nice 1907s barber Thanksgiving morning. Left for vacation an took my relic with me and tried a beach hunt for the first time and came up with a ring (silver). This was my 5th and 6th hunt and I am pleased with the...
