Well, I've had some success already with my time ranger

[K5]

I'm still just a knucklehead at this detecting thing, but my second outing went something like this (a few weeks ago):

My best buddy found an OLD buggy in the woods, had to be from the early 20th or late 19th century. Deep in the brambles...not fun to get to. It was missing a couple of metal hoops that the wheels would have been made on, so he enlisted my help.
I managed to find the hitch, and hitch pin, as well as the top of an old wood stove. It looked to us like an old mining site due to a nearby creek, or timber operation. Lots of trees in this part of Idaho.

There were so many hits that we decided to just lay down marking tape in the hot spots and he would come back to them later.

Well, yesterday I get a call from him...he found something cool at every single taped spot. About four inches down every time. A bolt, a hand made axe head that was very unusually shaped, and
a three inch piece of smokey colored quartz.

He says he'll send me pics. I'll post them when I can.

I would love to give a Time Ranger a swing sometime! All the reveiws I have read on it have been nothing but positive. Good huntings.

First off score on the finds. I too love my TR, but my Discovery 2200 was just as good at fast recovery coin shooting [once I got to know her]. Target ID is hands down better and pin pointing that elusive contact is great too on the TR...
My TR has been good to me, but that $35.00 garage sale detector [ the Discovery 2200] paid for herself and the TR...the TR is still trying to earn it's keep. I am rambling, but my point is that the lower cost detectors can do as well or better in knowing hands as the high end machines. I have always hated the snob mentality surrounding a few brands of detectors [you all know the names]. I have owned their machines because I bought into the lie. The truth is that sometimes in life you really can get a fair deal. Bounty Hunter has managed that with their detectors. I have no idea what got me on this tangent and I hope you can forgive me, but I am just feeling rather proud this eve.

I wanted a Time Ranger, but now my goal is to get the White's Matrix M6....Since I have been using the White's, I find it to be a much more accurate machine, even without the display, and I feel my finds are just going to get better, because I am forced to dig ALL good repeatable targets...The TDI just made me not dig those tab and screw cap signals...The T4 and Fast Tracker users know what I mean....
