I have been out with it 4 days now.This last time was the volley ball sand pit again..I wanted to try all metal and full tilt on the sensitivity..Deepest item was a bottle cap at 13 inches measured.Smallest, an earring clip 3/16,by 3/16 metal. Two gold earrings, both with diamonds..,One, a very good item Another $1.29 in clad coins.Really deep. Then as I was leaving , SIR started to find very sharp,very rusty nails..I dug four, and knew the next signal was five, and the Jeep pulled up with SECURITY written all over the door. "You know we have a rule that metal detectors are considered trespassing.".. Yep, I've been doing some work for the Archivist ,got this little guy and wanted to wring it out in the sand pile.. Keeping your kids safe. Showed him the nails, dug the signal, and mentioned that the kids were going barefoot. "Hey, no problem, find all the nails,",,,,and, he left..Now, I don't give a rat's behind what any of you think, I believe SIR led me to those nails,, to set the security guard up..The timing was that perfect...Fall is going to come early.I think that SIR and I are going to have a ball before the season closes....Cordially NAD.

Named my Silver U Max, "SIR"
- Thread starter nad
- Start date
Went out with Old Crazy Nad last week. What a character ! We didn't have much time, as we both had commitments, but he let me use his Tesoro (Sir) and I picked up two wheats and a steel penny in about five minutes. Then last Sunday we went out again and I used Sir again, and picked up three dimes, three wheats, one memorial, and one steel cents in about an 18" square. But the real find was a shark tooth ear ring bound with gold wire. Just about the prettiest thing I've ever found. He has a whole town full of HOT places, and he is willing to share them with me.
in NJ, lived across the street from each other. A very interesting guy and smart. Did you see his wood carvings, Santas, birds, and many other things, they are awesome. Nad moved out of Jersey over 40 years ago because of his job, but we've kept in touch. He'll be 70 in Nov. but his passion in his skills and in metal detecting keeps him going strong. Jabbo
Nad and I went hunting yesterday, and I foxed him again. I just bought a Golden uMax, and hadn't even put it together yet. We went back out to the "Treasure Chest" and let 'er rip. The first hit that I dug was solid, but when I stuck in my digger, I came up with an ARROWHEAD !!!In perfect condition, about 1-1/2 inches long, and beautiful. (I never did find whatever it was that caused the hit)
The second hit was a 1943 Mercury dime that was still shiny on the face. Nad figured that it was very good to fine condition, and when we got back to his house he looked it up. Said it was worth 3 to four dollars.
After that I got an old wheat and a nickel. Nad had me rub his shoulder for luck, but I don't know whether or not it did him any good.
Because of my physical problems, we don't hunt for very long at a time, but it's worth the trip down to his home (60 miles) just to be out with him. His wife Dee is a kick. And I doubt that she will let him forget the arrowhead for some time to come.

Hey nad, thats a trick from my own book.
I rarely start out with an empty trash pouch when going to parks, schools and so on. Instead, I dig into the trash bucket in back of my truck and pull out some of the gnarliest, nastiest things in there. Then I stick them in my pouch before heading off to search.
When anyone approaches, as in your case, I just tell 'em I'm mostly cleaning up the place. I reach into my trash pouch and show them what I've "found" sayin, "...Im sure glad I got this stuff before anyone got hurt on them!"
Then I hand them my card, "Metal Detection Services," which says at the bottom, "FREE to Law Enforcement."
I'm not a treasure hunter, no sir. Im not even a detectorist. Nope - I'm a bonafide public servant.
