    Another button query

    Got this last Sunday and still no idea on origin. It's about 20 mm dia. and has three letters visible under the figures. Could be either RNO or RNC or BNO or BNC. Appears to be a man bearing a standard and perhaps a musket at his side or a lady kneeling with an outstretched hand. Appears to...

    Still not sure

    What kind of button I got up this way on Sunday but I got a couple closer views of the image on it. Hope you guys can help out as I have little experience in these older looking buttons. I know Tim L is giving a shot at finding an answer, many thanks for that!

    Still learning the 10" coil

    Just got in from another test run with my 10" coil. I was using my CZ5 w/8" coil to locate mid range targets in a nearby park. Showing steel bottle caps all around (iron hits) I found a good clear high coin signal in the middle of a group of about 6 iron hits over an area about a foot square...

    Solid 50 TID on the F70

    At almost 1" deep, no square tab this time. Nice large wedding band! 14k! Yesterday in a Chicago park.

    Three new goodies from the F70

    This past weekend went to an old racetrack that is now cornfield and a nearby fairgrounds and found a few items there with both the CZ and the F70. The F70 got me a nice 1893 Colombian Expo token, about LC size at 7" that rang up loud and clear though it appeared to be on edge on the side of...

    Barber shop open again

    Got to an old campsite today, nice clean ground with the exception of a few signals. First barber dime was 5" deep and read a constant 74. I was really thinking the mem cent blues or the clad dime with that number but very happy to find the shiny one. Next barber dime was 7" down and read all...

    Sidewalk tearup gives way to parkway work

    They started roto tilling and shaving the parkways in the neighborhood where I've been having fun under the slabs. Sunday was a great day! Didn't get any silver, the 1877 seated shown came from under a slab the other day but got three rings, an IH, a rough buff, a lapel pin and a sweet tie...

    Some more from under the slabs

    Got a nice 1889 seated dime the other day, and IH's 1868 and 1893 yesterday at the ongoing sidewalk work. So far I'm up to 6 IH's and about a dozen wheats some clad and waiting for more slabs to rise tomorrow. Using the 5" dd on the F70, it's a game changer. Four of us out today, two ETracs...

    Some sidewalk diggings

    There's some sidewalk work in an older part of town and I hit it with the CZ-20 on two days this weekend. Used the F70 there also. The CZ 20 is my first choice for these sites, it's simply quiter and deeper in that environment. Simple formula, if the sidewalks are up and I'm working the...

    Got my CZ-20 back from service and ...

    Worky-worky! Cool, as my luck these past few weeks has been spiraling downward awfully and I've had several complaints about the service info I've gotten on this machine, but it's all for naught now. Went to the sledding hill this morning and hit the ice at the bottom. Coins and other items...

    Fisher Service

    Haven't been online at any detector forums for awhile, was wondering if anyone else had difficulty with Fisher service? Has there been problems since they came under new management? I sent my CZ-20 in for routine maintenance, rubber boots on the buttons and seals. It was working fine when I...
