    No merc's or silver rings today but............

    I did manage to find a piece of sterling. When the guy's finally finished cutting the grass, I started my second search of "The New To Me Park" Didn't hunt very long because of the heat but I did manage to find some clads and a Rosary.:angel: Funny thing was, I thought I had detected a coin...

    Found a Merc and a silver ring...

    Found a new to me city park last Sunday and located a couple of goodies. I already threw the clads in the clad bucket so I can't show them. The Merc. has some hairline scratches on the obverse. I know I didn't gash it with the shovel. Might be from sticking it in the pouch with the clads. Guess...

    Need a nut for detector shaft....

    I was wondering if anyone can tell me where I can buy the compression nut that is located on the end of an upper rod that secures the bottom shaft? Thanks Bottlebum

    Question concerning handle for Sovereign GT rod.

    Does anyone make a replacement handle for the Sovereign GT, straight rod that has a V-bracket on the top of it? Thought it would be nice to have. When I grab the handle and try to do the wiggle, the handle feels spongey. I'd like to replace my handle with something a little firmer and with a...

    Sound of a deep coin signal?

    I was hoping someone could tell me whether a deep coin (6 or more inches) will give a solid signal or a broken signal? I understand that if a coin is on edge or close to a piece of junk that it can give off a broken signal. I'm more concerned about your average, lying flat coin. I have been...

    Sure is quiet around here these days. Did everyone switch detector brands?:shrug:

    Surely someone out there is doing some looting?

    Took another trip to the park today and..........

    didn't do as good as I had hoped I would. Spent about eight hours detecting and all I found was one 1942 Mercury dime (same year as the other two pieces of silver that I had found) some clads, broken boyscout item, some assorted lead (one is a slug), a 1967 dog tag, etc. Hopefully, tomorrow will...

    Another walk through the park. This time, mercury rises in the shade of the ole gum tree!

    I went back to the park where I had found the walking liberty half, to see if I might get lucky again. Started hunting under a gum tree near the tennis court. Sure enough, my first dug signal turned out to be an 1942 mercury dime. (same year as the half dollar I found the day before) It was...

    Noisey, eight inch Tornado, talking back to me....:crylol:

    I'm noticing alot of falsing when I bump the coil into things, especially with the eight inch, Tornado coil. Not so much with the ten inch coil. Has anyone else noticed whether or not theirs does this? I've had a couple other Sovereigns, including a GT and can't remember any of them falsing...

    Went "Walking" through the park yesterday.......

    Just got my Sovereign GT from Silverstar_Lawman and decided to take it for a test spin in a local park. It was my first hunt since last fall. First signal was a nice Medal and the second signal was a sweet Walking Liberty half dollar (my first!!) also found about four or five pulltabs, aluminum...

    Infinium Question!! Hi all.......Been gone for awhile........

    because of the winter and the fact that I blew my back out a few months ago. I'm hoping to be able to get out and do some real detecting, soon. I have one question and it is as follows. I use a Garret Infinium and last fall while detecting for the low/high signals, I found one and decided to...

    Took the Infinium for a three hour test drive today.......:thumbup:

    It was in the low 40's which is a little cold for my still Florida blood. The wind was blowing, but not too hard. I had to take the new Infinium out for it's maiden voyage and wasn't going to let anything stop me. In town, there is, or should I say, was an old rectory building next to the...

    Did I screw up?:yikes:

    Unlike when I was a Sovereign owner, I kind of feel alone, that is, my Infinium and I. There doesn't seem to be many people using the machine. I jumped in quick to trade my beloved Sovereign:please: for a machine that I thought would help me get those really deep coins that I think I'm missing...
