    705 depth meter

    At one point yesterday I noticed my depth meter pegged with every signal. I tried shutting it off to reset it but when I turned it back on it was the same. I dont think it affected my search but it does have me wondering a bit. Any suggestions? I have been trying to use the meter more but in all...

    Long time, no hunt

    It's been quite a while since I've been out. Sometimes life just gets in the way. I've had my eye on a 1908 property that is one of the last pieces left in the path of a new freeway coming. Last week the moving van was there but with snow and freezing weather I just couldn't get to it. Yesterday...

    Manito Park, Spokane,Washington

    On the off chance that the folks involved are reading this post let me say thank you in advance for helping to get detecting shut down in our city parks. Wednesday night I went to the park to pick up my wife from an orchid club meeting. I see you 2 get out of your car at 8:30, in the dark with...

    Thawed enough to hunt

    Went out for an or so with my 705 and the stock 9" coil I bought from 7centsworth. Nothing with any real age to it as far as coins go. Did find this necklace about 6" down. Came out looking just like it is. I don't see any markings on the clasp so my guess is it isn't gold, had me going for a...

    The mystery of the disappearing coin

    Went out yesterday. Picked up 6 silver dimes and 45 wheats plus a handful of assorted coins and tax tokens. I would get a signal that said coin, flip the plug and then nothing. Sometimes if I stomped the plug flat it would be in the plug. Usually if I get a signal and open the hole and the...

    Best day in a looong time

    Went out for about 4 hours today. Took the Xterra 705 with Digger coil. 5 silver Rosie's, 1 merc, 45 wheats and a small hand full of assorted change plus 2 dreaded Washington tax tokens. Havent had time to check dates yet, my guess is 30s and up.

    Back to the 3 hr hunt site #3

    Went back again. Put the Digger back on the 705. About an hour or so. Keep going around the same areas as before. This time pulled 8Q, 7D, 5N , 1$, idk how many pennies. Talked to the lady that lived here for years before she sold to the state. She told me that there were 3 houses between her...

    Still reeling

    Where I live we have a new freeway being built. Its been a long process and will be happening for some time yet. Its running through a part of town not far from my house. The state buys up homes in its path and within a couple months has them bulldozed and the ground is leveled. I've been lucky...

    Back to the 3 hr hunt site

    Went out last night for about 40 minutes. Took my wife with one of the Compadre's so she can learn to hunt. I started out in the same area as last time, just a different angle. Never moved much more than 10 feet from where I began. Found 1Q, 2dimes, 4 nickels, 10 coppers, 2 zincs and a very...

    3 hours to find my fortune

    Yeah right! But that's the nice part about this hobby, you just never know what will come out of the ground. Found a house tucked back a little from the main road. Built in '36 its been purchased by DOT for the future freeway coming through this neck of the woods. Large yard, lots of junk, but...

    belt buckle derringer

    Went out for a couple hours yesterday. Didn't find much for coinage but did find an 1867 Remington belt buckle derringer made in 1959 made by Mattel. Its not much but I thought it was pretty cool. After cleaning it up, it actually works, wish I could have found the complete buckle. Picture on...

    And we wonder why others seem to hate metal detectors

    Weather was in the low 50's today so headed to a lot that had a turn of the century house on it up until 2 weeks ago. The first thing I saw was the holes-everywhere. Nothing filled, rusty cans and other junk outside the holes.

    A first for me

    Over the years I've found my fair share of old coins in change. Usually from the 40's and 50's. Today I decided that I needed to count up my spare change jug because it was getting pretty full. After pulling out the quarters, dimes and nickles I was pretty much left with newer shiney zincolns so...

    Slim pickins

    Not to be confused with the old guy in the cowboy movies. It was 51° and sunny today. Only had an hour or so, so I headed down to the vacant lots at the new freeway site. Not much left here but since its been raining like crazy lately the ground is soft and deeper coins become easier to pick...
