    Got A Nice Vintage Lady's Gold Colored Compact And Some Old Shotgun Shells In The Woods.

    This is how I like to use my spare time for retirement. No cell phone, lots of solitude and being outdoors surrounded by nature. "You've really got the gift. or is it the machine ?" You forgot to mention a little luck! Stay safe my friend.

    Got A Nice Vintage Lady's Gold Colored Compact And Some Old Shotgun Shells In The Woods.

    Looks like the gold producing river is just about frozen over. It is still diggable in the woods, so out I went yesterday using the VORTEX VX9. Got some modern coins and a beautiful AVON lady's vintage compact. I also dug up some spent shotgun shells, which help date the area. Here's the...

    Garrett User In Peru

    Do you perhaps mean manu Do you perhaps mean a manual ground balance? The Freedom Ace had a fixed ground balance, which means if you were in a highly mineralized soil in which the Freedom Ace struggled, there was nothing you could do. The AT Series and the new Vortex all can be ground balanced...

    The Old Sledding Hill Again Rewarded Me With A Silver Coin.....Pic Of Total Gold 2025 Included.

    Back on the hill last Friday. Got some horse tac, bottle/can opener, jewelry and some coins. The old silver dime had it's date worn off, however, King George V reigned 1911-1936. The RC Cola was discontinued in Canada in 2001, however, I believe it is still available in the USA. The ground is...

    Garrett coil ID

    I remember the GTP 1350 well. Once you figured it out, how to use it and it's limitations, you could establish a targets size. It was a great coin hunter. It just never caught on. I think a lot of people struggled with the learning curve...

    Garrett coil ID

    The Garrett 4.5" Crossfire II Search Coil worked for the GTP 1350 and GTAx 550. I loved that little coil, often times referred to as the "hockey puck." It was a great coil to get near metal equipment found in playgrounds, along chain-link fences and rebar along sidewalks in those grassy areas...

    Because I Also Detect In And Beside A River, I Consider Rocks To Be Also Treasures. I Turn Them Into Gifts.

    I have collected so many rocks for tumbling this year. Lots of petrified wood,misc rocks and small bits of dino bones. Last year I tumbled some sizes to what you would get in a box of chocolates. I bought some of those paper wraps and made up boxes of "ROCKOLATES." A few people actually thought...

    Got More Jeweley, Coins, Old Wallet, Vintage Lipstick And More On The Old Toboggan Hill In The Snow.

    We got our first snowfall last Friday. I have always liked to be the first one to put footprints in the snow. I headed back to the old hill. Funny thing is, I lost a silver coin that I dug up. I went back to look for it.....never found it but found another silver coin. Good karma! Here's the...

    V9?

    Well, it works great. Water proof is a bonus. The upgrades and fixes have really turned it into a very versatile detector.

    GTI 2500

    I too had some issues with those battery packs. I ran a voltmeter on a couple of them, and they wouldn't work unless they were physically twisted. I replaced them and problem was solved.

    When Someones Tells You About Places They Played At When They Were Young, You Got To Check It Out!

    Thanks for the support. Much appreciated. If it wasn't for detecting and prospecting, I'd probably be a hunk of lard in front of a TV painting my arteries with plaque.
