    Latest hunt

    Okay, first my apologies. When I retired last January, I told everyone I would posting a lot more with all that time to go digging. Then, a severly herniated disc put those plans on the back burner. This is my first real digging expedition since my surgery and recovery. Found the usual clad, a...

    Sunday morning hunt

    Got out to a middle school soccer/baseball field. Found a bunch of clad (11 quarters!), a dog license and dog tag, and the 950 sterling silver earring with lapis stone (?). Strangely, the earring rang in between a penny and a dime on my ACE 250 -- just shows you have to dig everything. The...

    Garage sale find

    Hey all: Went to a garage sale last weekend and scored a 1996 Garrett GTA X1000 Power Master for $85. Seller threw in two sand sifters, a 4" sniper coil, extra extension pole, and a Garrett two pocket waist pouch. The detector is very clean looking, but the battery cases were very corroded so I...

    1st gold (almost) and 1st gold!

    Got excited when I pulled the first ring out of the dirt. It's rolled gold plate 10K, so it's technically gold I guess. The next ring is the real deal -- 14K with five small cut diamonds. I think it's a wide men's wedding band. Found about 5" deep on an old unused soccer field. My first gold...

    Silver, silver, and silver!

    Haven't posted in a while but here are three pieces of silver I picked up over the last several months. Found the silver ring on my last day of beach hunting during vacation in July. Found the necklace and the men's bracelet (yes, that's a picture of it on my wrist!) on the same soccer field on...

    Garrett ACE 250 gold question

    Okay, I've found a lot of stuff over the last three months or so; including three silver coins -- 1909 quarter, 1911 half dollar, and Standing Liberty quarter -- but I'm still awaiting my gold. I've been paying careful attention to the audio and visual (and I'm digging lots of pull tabs per the...

    Weekend finds and a first!

    Hit two schools this weekend -- one old, one newer. Came up with lots of junk and $2.83 in clad, but got my first Susan B. Anthony dollar! (#1 Mom is missing her keys) :angry: Mike

    Lobo ST finds and question

    Took out the Lobo ST this weekend and found the usual amount of clad coins and an old key. I had the threshold set at 12:00, sensitivity on maximum, and discrimination around 4. Here's my question: How are other Lobo ST users determining good sounds from junk sounds? I did notice the louder the...

    Tesoro Lobo Super Traq question/set-up

    Got some batteries and fired up my "inherited" Tesoro Lobo Super Traq, but it just squawks at high volume no matter how I adjust the knobs and controls. I'm thinking of sending to Tesoro for set up and repair unless someone here can offer some useful tips. :surrender: Thanks in advance for your...

    Way too cool to believe. Must read! Part I

    Well, I'm out on the beach this weekend, minding my own business, picking up a couple of bucks in clad coins and a woman approaches me and starts a conversation about her father -- a former detector. Come to find out, he has passed on and she is wondering if I know someone who would like his old...

    Woods hunting finds...and some surprises

    Had a few hours after work today so hit a vacant, old wooded lot near home. All clad coins (again), a sterling silver charm/pendant, and two nice bottles. While hunting I came across an old privy(?) with bottles scattered throughout. Mostly broken, but got this nice Listerine cork bottle out of...

    Neat park finds. More firsts! Creepy discovery...

    Hunted a local park with some history and lots of trails. Found three of the same little buttons. Need to clean up a bit to get to the details. All clad coins. Found these two heavy, ornate metal containers together. Not marked, but when I was able to get the top off the pink/gold container I...

    Next day, different playground. Two firsts! Token ID help?

    Hit another local park and playground. My first rings! Both are cheap, little girl rings, but where there's cheap rings, there's gotta be gold rings, right? All got a cool token on my way toward the car (isn't that always the way?). Front: "NIC-O- LOK" or "NIC & LOC" RESTROOM TOKEN...
