    Earphones ?

    I have a BH QDII. I have been using it for about 3 years maybe 4. I don't even remember breakfast well :confused: I have not ever used a set of earphones. I just use the external machine on the machine. What am I missing? What will earphones do for me? Should I get a set? What will I hear?

    Nice Weather:detecting:

    Weather here was great yesterday. Sunny Light Wind and in the 70's. I went to a local swim beach and removed all the beer caps!

    Why you can't trust your MD

    I was hunting a vacant lot next door today and I got a repeatable strong signal. My id and depth indicators told me it was a zinc penny 6 inches deep. 45 minutes later I had dug up a 4" x 4" piece of corragated metal that had been about 12" deep under a 8" by 8" by 3" thick piece of concrete.

    Turns out I am luckier than I thought.

    Turns out the vacant lot right next to me was once the site of a home. I have been going over there a couple of times just to kill time. I have dug a couple of old coins and today I found enough stuff to let me know there was a house. I found part of a cigar, a portion of a sheet of corragated...

    A Find to Make you Go HMMM:sad:

    I found this the other day. About drove me crazy. My QDII kept saying something was there and all I could see was dirt clods. I started dividing my dirt clod pile in half and then half again until I finally isolated the dirt clod that made my machine go beep. I didn't really know what I had...

    Here is the "Best" Metal Detector

    I just had an epiphany reading these messages and think I have a simple way of saying which is the "best", "best priced" or "most effective" machine. The machine you take out the door and to the hunting arena that makes you think "I am glad I went today" when you get home is the "Best" machine...

    NEW MD on the way!!

    I asked for advice here about what machine to upgrade to and thanks to the info I now have a new QuickDraw II on the way. I managed to find a new one left over from somebody's Christmas Inventory that has the bag, headphones, and digging tool with it for $160 delivered to my door. Should be hear...

    Where to Start

    It looks like I am going to get permission to detect in a old school building. The building has been abandoned since the late sixties. I will have the whole place to myself but time may be limited by weather and work schedule. Anyway what area would you start searching? Inside the building...

    Anybody have this happen before?

    I was detecting near a popular fishing hole and digging up lots of beer cans (At least I collect them for recycling so it is not a total waste of time) but I got a beep and started to dig. Up came a melted plastic bottle which I laid aside to take to the trash can and kept digging. Didn't find...

    Which MD?

    I have been using a BH Discovery 1100 for a couple of months now. But it only has preset disc levels. no iron, no mid range, no high range or no iron or mid range. I am wanting to move up to a better model. I am thinking about the QD2. Any other models I should be looking at? I am thinking the...
