    Bought A Gold Nugget With Some Of My Dug Clad From This Year.

    Got a 1.1 gram nugget today. I dipped into my metal detecting cash I dug from this year and bought it at a local coin and stamp store.. So basically, it cost me nothing. I have been buying a gold coin or nugget with my metal detecting cash for about 35 years. Just a little something to leave my...

    Hit The Sledding Hill Today And Got A Toony

    Got to keep this body in shape. Metal detected for about an hour. I had to leave as there were just too many kids shooting down the hill on their sleds. I also found a penny, bringing up my total for the day to $2.01.

    No, but long underware, a winter coat, gloves and a toque to keep my ears warm.

    Well, The Ground Is Frozen! Winter Has Arrived....Time To Take Inventory Of This Year's Finds

    It's well below freezing now. I have to count the coins and other finds from this year. The Vortex VX-9 has really been a great workhorse this year for coins, jewelry and relics.

    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

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...
