    Taking the leap... Maybe

    Not much info for you but I need your help please. In a few hours I will be looking at a Bandido Umax 2 that is for sale locally. I have seen pics and the unit is very pristine . A good hands on look will be evolved of course but my question (assuming the unit works) is the 100 dollar asking...

    Who to contact at Garrett

    I have a message sent to John in Edmonton with this same story but figured I would throw it out to the masses also. Sorry for the long read. Late summer my Ace 250 went silent. No tones either with or without head phones. I boxed it up and sent it in. Couple weeks later I get the phone call...

    should have wore my knee pad

    A little bit nippy this a.m. at a balmy 28 degrees but I haven't swung a coil in weeks so out I went. I have hunted this little league park a lot over the past couple years...got my first 100 coin hunt there once so upon arriving I headed to a little section I really haven't spent much time...

    why does Garrett do this?????

    A few months ago my Propointer went on the fritz. These things happen and I have no problem with that. Called the company to let then know it was coming and followed all the instructions the wonderful lady I spoke with gave me regarding packaging and such. When I told her I will be sending...

    found a great spot but have to wait till August

    There is a Jr. hi school nearby I have always wanted to coin shoot but the grounds appeared to be completely fenced in. I went there yesterday to really give it a inspection and found that there actually were small openings in the fence for foot traffic. What really disturbed me though was...

    Use a coil cover???? what about this???

    We all have read about the trouble and problems people have with removing their coil covers when the need comes up. Now cut me some slack because I am left handed...We lefties think just a bit differently than those of you normal people. I was thinking about how a coil cover could be...

    Pro pointer is at the hospital

    It started to glitch up a bit so I re-boxed it and sent it on its' way to the folks at Garrett. It arrived on the 29th of August and I haven't seen the postman bring me anything back. I guess I am one of those people that want instant results but I didn't use to be that way.....hard to wait...

    update on my Oldie but Crusty coin.

    Still no pictures but I now realise I owe this group a look-see at what I found so stay with me on this one. I posted that I had found a 1848 one-centime French coin a few days ago but now after doing more looking on line I see that this coin is actually a 5-centime which was minted between...

    found a oldie but crusty while brush busting

    It has been bone dry for the last thirty days. That may be normal coditions for those of you living in the hot and dry parts of the country but here, on the wet side of the Cascades (near the coast of Washington state) we get rain hourly. When we go through a drought of three or more days...

    WW2 south pacific videos..where are they?

    Go to U-Tube and you can watch detecting videos from the battlefields of Europe for hours. Fascinating stuff. On the flip side, I don't recal seeing any videos from the south pacific theatre. Just seems strange. I can see why I guess. Most battles were fought on islands. Not easy to drive from...

    cheap replacement bolt and nut for garrett 'tectors

    Gave a good bump to my coil on Monday and sheared the nylon bolt that connects the coil to the shaft fittings of my Ace. Being only a couple blocks from Lowes I headed there and gave a look in the hardware section. Found nothing that would come close to working but bumped into a store employee...

    need a current coin value site..

    Hey kids, Talking at work last nite about the rising value of coins (or at least the silver in them) and a co-worker went home and dug out the shoe box of silver coins his mother left him. He just called and rattled off some of the things in the box...Lots of Morgan dollars and both walking...

    Now this is a new 250 problem /// FIXED

    I posted earlier of a glitch that developed with my beloved Ace in which the pinpointing just stopped working on bare dirt and was a cranky brat on grass. Before I boxed the unit up and shipped it back to Garret ts I decided to dig into the unit a bit just to see what I could do to either fix...

    Now this is a new 250 problem

    Never seen this 'glitch' posted so tell me what you think. Took a little hunt this morning to the local high school. Been wanting to hunt the ball field as it had just been plowed and rolled. May have brought up an oldie or two. Searching in coin mode I got a signal on the dirt infield and...

    Cache found...and I am gonna miss out

    A co-worker was on the phone today talking with his elk hunting buddy. It seems the Buddy's son came home after spending time in the local woods with his shirt in his arms. The boy plops the shirt onto the kitchen table and exposes almost two hundred dollars in coins. It seems the winter...
