    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.

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

    When someone tells you where they used to prospect, fish or toboggan, those words could be gold. Years ago, someone told me of a tobogganing hill somewhere in Edmonton where he used to go in the winter many years ago. Today I grabbed my Garrett Vortex detector and checked it out and was rewarded...

    I Am Still Coming To Terms With Today's Finds.....Never Have I Ever Dug So Much Incredible Finds! Lots Of Pics

    These are the few so called nuggets I have dug out of this flour gold producing gold. They must be from shattered rocks like quartz due to the freeze/thaw cycles.

    I Am Still Coming To Terms With Today's Finds.....Never Have I Ever Dug So Much Incredible Finds! Lots Of Pics

    This old digger was quite surprised too. I think a select group of people's culture put together a sort of care package to a deceased loved one, then float it down the river. It's against the law to do this, so, I am removing these items from the river. I doubt if this river has ever been...

    I Am Still Coming To Terms With Today's Finds.....Never Have I Ever Dug So Much Incredible Finds! Lots Of Pics

    Thanks for looking into that design on copper the copper plate inscription. I thought that it was a religous symbol.

    I Am Still Coming To Terms With Today's Finds.....Never Have I Ever Dug So Much Incredible Finds! Lots Of Pics

    It's a string of bells (plastic) and other cheap jewelery. Pic.#2 is not a coinring. I see what you mean though, it does look like one.
