    Electronic gold tester

    I have seen these electronic gold testing kits marketed for upwards of $100-400, from the outside they don't look like much. Being a former electronics student, I believe there can't be much sophistication to them. Does anyone know of a kit or schematic available so that I can make my own (for...

    Trashy areas and sniper/scorcher coils

    Ok, I have been hunting a particular park which has a VERY trashy area. I'm talking 3-4+ hits per swing and targets bunched together. This spot is near the picnic area, and I have witnessed on occasion the lawnmower man shredding cans left there by littering buttfaces. (I clean these up before...

    Hoops will be shot

    Found this little gem on a 2 hour hunt at my new favorite park. Also found 3 wheats, '56, '56, 51 (not pictured) [attachment 103177 DSC01072.JPG] [attachment 103178 DSC01073.JPG]

    First Merc! + 3 wheats!

    Tried out a new local park today, and spent about a good 4 hours there. The 4th coin I found was a '29 Merc! Also in the mix was 3 wheats, '44, '52 and '56. I'm lucky if I find a silver dime once a month, and a wheat twice a month. Today was a good day :twodetecting: [attachment 102649...

    Unexpected detector arrived in the mail today.

    Months ago, I ordered the Harbor Freight pinpointer. I had a couple of notices that it was on backorder, and the last wanted me to return the card if I still wanted it. I forgot to send it, so I figured it wouldn't come. Today it arrived, I put the supplied 9v in it and air tested it...

    More keys, silver & ring.

    The park that keeps on giving produced some more gems today. A fistfull of clad, one silver '64 roosevelt, a complete set of keys and a gold plated ring with the letter A. The '64 chimed in at a solid 9 on the 2500, and was about 4" deep. [attachment 102305 aring.jpg]

    Relic hunting in my backyard - Mysterious white powder?

    Dug these up at about 1' down (hoping for a nice size E cache, and not a pile of scrap metal) [attachment 101694 relic1.jpg] Using the Ace (It fit down in the hole better), and still getting signals, a couple more inches and hit a cache of white powder. The best guess I have is talc...

    Kept digging and didn't find the car......

    ...... that this door handle was attached to. I cleaned the backside, and didn't find any markings. I'm guessing 50's to early 60's or possibly even earlier. Any help? [attachment 101608 DSC00968.JPG] BTW- This rang in at 9 - 9+, B-C sized on the 2500

    Time for a new digger :stretcher:

    Due to the lack of rain the past few weeks, the ground below has become tough as nails. My fiskars garden knife did not make the cut. :thumbdown: Now it's time for a real man's digger! Is the Kellyco Gator digger really worth $30 more than the Lesche 85 from Predator tools?

    Gold issues with 250 & 2500

    I recently gathered a few genuine gold items to bench test with my detectors. Running in jewelry mode/stock level sens: It picked up a 5 gram 14k ring with a repeatable tone in the nickel range, the same with a 10k/4 gram ring. A 12 gram 14k bracelet, fell just below the jewelry notch to...

    '27 wheatie

    Day 4 out with my GTI, went to a park close by and hit the soccer field. Dug lots of size b aluminum scrap, 0.18 total coinage. I got home to look at my finds, and there was one seriously corroded penny. It was greenish, so I didn't suspect a zinc memorial, a little toothbrush action and at...

    GTI 2500 first impressions

    I received my GTI2500 this weekend, and took it out on the hunt. I first hooked up the 12" coil and set it up on default coin mode. In no time, I was plucking coins from the earth at my favorite hunting ground! The detector is quite a bit heavier than the Ace250, so it will take some getting...

    One of those "ewww" finds.

    I got an iffy dime signal and dug it up. It was the tip of what appeared to be an artist's paint tube. I saw the rest of the tube in the hole, and unrolled it. It read "Hemorrhoid Cream" This was in the middle of a park. What one would need with the creme in the center of a park I do not want...

    Coin popping - I think I have it down now!

    I've been reading a post here and there about popping coins straight out of the ground without digging holes and didn't see much of an explaination, so today I procured myself an 8" small flathead screwdriver and headed to the park with my trusty Ace250 to try it out. [attachment 99221...
