    Found a wallet today-Did a good deed

    I know this post should probably be in the good deeds forum and may end up getting moved there . I thought it fitting however to post it on this forum, due to the post I had a few days ago about being asked to leave the park because of a ban on parks to metal detecting. Today I went to a...

    Metal detecting ban on parks

    Today was my 1st experience with being told in a gruff kind of way by a parks and rec worker to leave a park, due to all parks in that city being banned to metal detecting. He said some one had torn up the ground metal detecting in the parks and the city had banned the use of metal detectors in...

    Compadre finds Batman's car (picture included)

    [attachment 316422 image.jpg]I was able to get out for the 1st time in a long time. I made a quick stop for breakfast and a torrential downpour started. I decided to throw the rain gear on the detectors and tough it out. I was hoping to find some gold or silver today. It did not work out the way...

    Silver find with eyes only

    [attachment 314194 image.jpg]I know that this post probably belongs on the today's finds forum, but I wanted to share a little fact I found interesting today. My wife came home today and with a big grin handed me this necklace with a pendant on it and said I quote "look what I found today and...

    Compadre finds small silver

    [attachment 313756 image.jpg][attachment 313757 image.jpg]Today I had a small reminder of just what the Compadre is capable of. I found this small earring or charm at the same location as I found the gold and silver bracelet and silver ring in the same hole just a little while ago. It never...

    5 x 10 DD coil for 5 pin units?

    Just out of curiosity. I sent an email to Tesoro about why they don't make a 5 x 10 wide scan coil for the Umax detectors like they do for the lobo and the 4 pin detectors. I didn't get a response. This email is not about Tesoro not responding to my email, it is to see if anyone here knows...

    A short hunt with my daughter

    [attachment 313270 image.jpg]Today my daughter and I went to the park and I watched her play for a while. Then I asked her if she wanted to look for treasure. She was really excited about it. I pulled my detector from the car and began to hunt. This was her first real hunt. It was cut short...

    Dug a little in the trash and found some shiny

    attachment 312798 image.jpg [attachment 312799 image.jpg] Tonight I had an awesome 2 hour hunt. I started out with the Eldorado Umax with the 7" widescan and found some coins and a religious medal with an angel on both sides about the size of a quarter. The Eldorado and the 7" coil had me on...

    12x10 widescan or clean sweep widescan?

    So I know there is a post already about coil questions on here, but I am thinking I would like to get a large coil for my Umax detectors to sweep large open fields in parks and on farms. I have two detectors with manual ground balance on them, so changing coils is not a big problem. I have...

    Short Hunt- found a little Tennessee pride

    [attachment 310959 image.jpg]. I had about 30 minutes to hunt. It was about a 10 minute walk both ways into a baseball field built in the 60's. I had been eaten up with curiosity for a couple of months, because you can't see it from the road. I found a $1.45 in change including 4 quarters...

    Clean sweep coil question

    Just wondering if anybody has tried the widescan or concentric clean sweep coil on an Eldorado Umax or bandido II Umax, or any other Umax detector. If so, any thoughts, pros or cons would be appreciated. Thank you and HH.

    Detecting in the rain

    I threw the old rain jacket on the Eldorado and used the new widescan coil I purchased recently and searched a park in the down pouring rain for 40 minutes before work. In 30 minutes I found one nickel shy of $1 in change and 2 quarters in the same hole. I have just started really using the...

    It's nice to have a hobby that pays back!!!!

    Today I cashed in my clad that I had found over the last little while. I do not get out to hunt as much these days so I was a bit surprised when It was enough to pay for my new coil and some extras. It is nice to have a hobby that is exciting, fun and pays you back enough to buy new gear and...
