    Big Silver one of my Favorite coins

    I hadn't posted finds in a while but just couldn't help but post this one. I just love the detail on the Walkers. The local club had a seeded hunt, all coins buried about 1 to 2 inches. I kept getting good targets down deep so I went back the next day and dug 8 deep wheat pennies and this...

    Dealer to the Rescue!!! :clapping:

    I can't believe what happened. A dealer contacted me and is sending me a CTX 3030 out of his stock and when the replacement for my machine comes in from Minelab they will just send it to him. This dealer has gone above and beyond. I can't say enough about him for doing this, he is not who I...

    Minelab Didn't come through for me

    I had problems with my CTX3030, and called minelab and described the problems and they told me to send it in because they had some replacements set aside for this and they would send the replacement within 48hrs after they received mine. So I sent it in a week ago and I called today and now they...

    Different "Unexpected Error" rats

    II traded my E-trac in on a new CTX 3030 last week and after putting it together and playing with it in the back yard, I got the "Unexpected Error" shutdown 2 times, so I did the software update which was easy and successful. I was gone this last weekend but got out in the back yard today for...

    My E-trac is in the shop but wanted to post this

    Had to send my E-trac in for some work and have been using my backup machine. I found this 1913 buffalo today, the first year for Buffalo's, and it is in the best shape of any buffalo I have found. It has not mint mark, just my luck, a 1913 S type 2 would have been worth about 300.00. My E-trac...

    The G2 loves buffalo nickels

    Went out to my iron pit again today and only manged a buffalo but it is a 1913, the first year for buffalo's, no mint mark, dang it, a 1913 S type 2 is worth about 300.00. I have found more buffalo nickels with the G2 than any other machine I have used. Works great in the iron. Randy

    buffalo nickel whatzit

    I found this piece of metal and almost chunked it but noticed some writing on it, looking at is closer it was the impression of the back side of a buffalo nickel. I did not find the buffalo nickel it is only in the pictures for reference. I know they put buffalo nickels in pendants and cuff...

    Short hunt not much but here it is

    When out for a short hunt in my iron pit and did not find a lot. There is so much junk iron/nails you really have to work hard but the G2 will find the good stuff. Found a 1912 and 1918 wheat and then got a great signal and thought it might be a quarter but it wasn't. It was a very nice WW1...

    Squeezed in a little hunt yesterday, got a little silver

    Took off work a couple of hours early yesterday for a little hunting. I took the G2 to my worst iron pit, it is full of nails and big iron left from an old oil field. The first target was a 1916-S buffalo (to bad it wasn't the double die version). It was about 4 inches deep and surrounded by...

    Another question

    I have been using the e-trac for over a year and really like it. The weight issue really has me interested in the Deus along with some other features. But my question is for those of you who have used both the e-trac and deus, do you find yourself missing the FE reading? I feel like I have...

    The G2 is like a laser

    I picked up a nice used G2 and got the 5X10 coil and man this thing is light, fast, quiet and like a laser. I took it out a week ago Sunday for the first time to to a spot where an old house used to be. I had found several coins, tax tokens, harmonica reeds etc. in an area where the front steps...

    Short hunt = silver and a nice button

    Went for a short hunt yesterday in 40mph wind. I decided to try where an old, very small, sawmill once stood. Didn't expect to find much but did manage a nice 42 merc, 40 wheat and a very nice large general service button. The merc was shallow, about 4 inches, but surrounded by iron junk...

    Here is one more thing that makes this hobby fun

    That is researching your finds! I found this token at one of the oldest spots where there was activity in my area, and my area is not that old, the border between Texas and Oklahoma. The oldest coin I have ever found was at this location and it was an 1896 V nickel. I searched all the token...

    2nd Silver for 2012, SQL, as bald as my head you be the judge.

    Got permission to hunt a new spot that used to be a cattle sale barn. I used to go to cattle sales there when I was young. It is used to store oil field equipment now. It has been hunted many times in the past and is absolutely filled with junk. I spent 3 hours and only covered about a 30 X 30...
