    Here's This Week-Ends Coins Using The VX9.

    Thanks for those great comments. I got to keep this body moving so it remains lubed!:jump:

    Here's This Week-Ends Coins Using The VX9.

    My local river is high due to the snow-melt in the mountains, so I put in a good weekend looking for coins. I believe USA is thinking of switching clad to nickel plate over steel to save a lot of money at the mint. I hope not for your sake. They rot like the zinc pennies did and really look...

    It's Been A While, But Here's My Recent Finds

    The entry to one of the ski slopes has been band. I did hunt a second one. The snow was all moved around to different places to extend the season another week, so I got poor results.

    I haven't tried, but that's an excellent idea!

    It's Been A While, But Here's My Recent Finds

    I've been busy running a swap meet with prospecting, metal detecting and rock collectors. It had a great turn-out too. Garrett sponsored it and gave out hats, pans and gold snuffer bottles. I have gone out metal detecting too in combination with my gold prospecting. Here's my coins. Going to...

    Got Some Silver Jewelry Today With My Vortex VX9

    Out metal detecting today with my Garrett Vortex VX9. I found a St. Christopher medallion and a football cross both silver with a combined weight of 5.6 grams. And also dug $4.61 in change. More money to go towards my annual gold nugget purchase at the end of this year. Here's some flour gold...

    I Finally Got Out Using The Vortex Today.

    I like the VORTEX for what it can do to find my clad, silver and gold. I really like using those 3 bars to help ID my finds. I have a Triple Score, that I just don't click with. I should really sell it. I'm not into comparing machines with each other. I prefer to learn one machine to the point...

    Cashed In My Remaining Silver Rings This Morning

    Weigh them in grams, find out what the spot price is, (calculate a price) then ask what buyers are paying. As I type, sterling silver is worth $2.25 US per gram. Here's a link to what I use for calculations. https://dendritics.com/metal-calc/

    I Switched To Lithium Ion 9 Volt Batteries For A Good Reason

    Because a lot of my metal detecting hunts are in cold weather, often times below freezing, I run into problems with my alkaline 9 volt batteries. The alkaline batteries just don't like the cold, with the voltage dropping to the point where they just won't work, giving that low battery signal...

    I Finally Got Out Using The Vortex Today.

    It's been crazy weather up here. Snow, cold, hot. Most of the snow is gone . Tomorrow begins another 3-4 days of snow. I got away today. I switched from the 5 x 8 Ripper search coil to the 6 x 11 Viper search coil to cover more ground and get some added depth. I detected a couple of different...
