    Latest finds from ante-bellum plantation site

    Went back last weekend to the old plantation site where I found my 1836 half-dime. That along with several old flat buttons and brass items came from near the family cemetery. This trip my 2 buds and I hunted around a clump of pine trees that was supposedly the old slave cemetery. We found...

    Half-dime bonanza

    Well, bonanza's a slight exaggeration. But after 20 years of detecting I'd never found one. Then this past December I scored my first in a field behind a 1900 era farm house. No doubt something went on in the area before the house was built as there were Civil War era buttons and mini-balls...

    Coil cover help!

    I've worn out 2 covers for my SEF 6 x 8 and I can't find any dealers who sell covers for it. I've seen covers for just about every other detech coil but not the 6 x 8. Can anyone help?

    Help date this button

    Found this Atlantic Coast Line railroad uniform button yesterday. I can't find one like it researching the internet. I have pieced together some of the early history of the Atlantic Coast Line company. It was established in 1871 and began assimilating smaller railroads on the eastern...

    woods hunting in thick pine straw with FBS detector

    As I understand it the FBS machines do not like air between the coil and undisturbed soil matrix. They supposedly do not do well in plowed, fluffed fields. Some of my hunting sites are in pine forests. My question is; Would the fluffy pine straw mat above the soil cause the FBS detectors to...

    Where are they now?

    When I got back into the hobby in 2014 I read everything I could in all the Forums to help me make a decision on my equipment. I read posts by a lot of fellows, some of whom are still posting. But there are some who no longer post that were instrumental in helping me get back in the game. So...

    significant upgrade or not?

    :shrug:I've had an Explorer Se Pro for 2 years and love it. It has a year of warranty left. I'd like to get a new machine to extend that grace period another couple of years. I'm thinking about an E trac. I've read enough to know it won't make dead parks come alive again. So I'm just...

    2nd detector dilemma

    Guys, I've posted about this a couple months back on the general forum and got some helpful advice from several of you. However the post was removed for some reason and I'm still sitting in limbo trying to decide what detector to buy next. My problem is one that's been discussed here and in...

    Best hunt in months!

    Wow, lets wake this place up! Hope everyone's out there making some good finds and just enjoying the hobby. I had, for me a very good day a week ago. I would love to post a photo but I can't figure out how to reduce the jpeg image to an acceptable size to attach. So until I figure it out I'll...

    What is the largest coil in your arsenal and why?

    For either or both Explorer Se Pro and XS? The largest I have is the 10x12" sef and I love it. But of course I'm seeking more depth. In general this would be in relatively clean ground. So what large coil works for you for depth in fairly clean ground and with decent separation?

    Coil Conundrum

    I know this question has been asked a thousand times and I've read quite a few of the answers. But I thought I'd ask it one more time for a little more clarification. I've got some sites with low to moderate trash that aren't producing silver and older coins like they used to. Understandable...

    good deal on explorer xs?

    I have a chance to buy a lightly used explorer xs for $300. Would this be a good deal?
