One of my aricles on coinshooting tips..

Thahk you for the good articles. Very informative. I'll try to follow it. Like it says very hard to change bad habits.:thumbup:

Thats some great info for amatuers like me. Been detecting a while but what I learned was own my own wether it was right or wrong. I got my campsite fields that I hunt for hotspots pretty much randomly because I want to go back and find more. But I can already tell this is going to pay off at some other sites. Thanks a million and hope to see more.
 
Bill. First off. Who is Jack Slade? Second. I like to print your articles for my archives and pages one and two printed nice and clear but page 3 is too blurry to read when printed. Could you post a better photo of page 3. Pretty please?

Chris
 
Jack Slade is one of my two pen names I write under. The other is Johnny Ringo. All writers do this. That way I can have two, three, or four, articles in the same mag without anybody getting pizzed. Thought I mentioned that in the post. I'll try to get a better shot of page three.

Wow, I thought I was doing a good job on covering an area( sloppy me). I'm sure glad there's not many md'ers around here that coin hunt. Now I should revisit some of my spots.Looking forward to more helpful articles in the future. Thanks for the info:)
 
Yeah just think - if you're hunting a 10' x 10' plot of ground and coins and such fit into a one-inch square - there are 14,400 square inches inside that ten by ten square. This is the painful logistics of coinshooting.

Bill
 
You should organize all your articles and put them in one book.
 
Wow! To think that may be one of the articles that influenced my hunting style-I started out scanning THEN moving forward with "little baby steps"and years later it is a habit. I've actually seen coinshooters move the coil a full foot forward on each step! And, believe it or not, they still find coins!
 
I read your posts pretty carefully and did not see you mention that it was your pen name. I assumed as much when you said said you had written it and I suppose I was hoping for and exciting explanation. Great article as always. I like hard copies for my reference book.

I have been using the GTI 2500 in all metal mode for coins. My question is should I be digging the good hits 10-12 range and size D and E ? I haven't dug any D and E's yet thinking it's just junk.
 
I could never dig every signal I get in the All Metal mode. I have a few select very clean sites where I use it and have managed a few very deep coins including one silver Washington quarter at about 10 inches. Registered as size B and C depending on how much earth I had taken from the hole. Yes it took quite a hole to find it too. I have yet to find anything really great size D or E but I rarely dig targets this size. Sometimes I do if they aren't too deep and the are nice solid consistant hits. Usually it is a pipe or a big hinge etc............ I found 67 coins in one hole that still only registered as size C. I found a roll of buried pennies that was an overload signal but still only size B. Sometimes I find lone nickels that register as size C too. Maybe they have big halos.

My hats off to you for going it all the time in All Metal. Not an easy feat. I am in Jewely mode 95 percent of the time.

I've been offering to buy the first copy of that book, signed, for 9 months.

A lot of goodies fall into the junk range. You might experiment and dig a few. Equal conductivity on targets can fool you.
