    Permission Denied...

    I recently requested permission from a local area Township to detect their parks. I just received an intersting reply: “While we don’t have rules prohibiting metal detecting, we do have rules against digging in our park sites. I am sure that you are very careful in your recovery of items from...

    Safari and nickels

    I have been doing very well (with mostly clad anyway) with my Safari, which is a few months old. I still do not have the knack for finding nickels with it (I might be missing some gold too). I usually hunt in Coin/Jewelry mode, but nickels are elusive to me. For example, today I hunted for...

    Unexpected Police Encounter.

    I was hunting a town park very early this morning. I wasn't there more than 5 minutes when a police car pulled up. The officer called me over to his car. I was prepared to show him my permit (required in that town), thinking that he would not allow me to detect there without one. Instead, he...

    Dog ID Tag Return.

    Last weekend while detecting in an old park, I found a metal dog ID tag. It was bone-shaped and had the dog's name (LUNA) on the front and a phone number on the back. Since it was buried about 2 inches down and appeared to be old, I figured the dog may have passed away by now, and the owner...

    Safari Battery question.

    I was wondering if anyone might happen to know if there is any depth or peformance loss with Safari when the batteries begin to run down (8-AAAs)? Today I was detecting when the battery charge scale lost a bar or two. I detected for awhile longer before I changed batteries, but I couldn't help...

    A Poem (Limerick)

    Please forgive me for this, but here goes: There once were some coinshooters from Florham, But didn't know how to clean and store 'em, So they put together their minds, They then soon found "Find's", Now they know, thanks to this forum. I do not know how or why this popped into my mind.....I...

    Safari Beach Hunt

    Hi, I just took my Safari on a beach safari at the seashore last week. In a total of about 6 or 7 hours over several mornings, I found 49 quarters, 17 dimes, 1 nickel, 34 cents, an LED Flashlight (still works), some fishing sinkers and a bangle bracelet (appears to be gold, with about 50...

    Safari Hunt Today

    Hi, Just went to a city park and had about 3 hours to hunt (trying to gain more Safari experience). I started at the basketball courts, and never left... While just covering the inner perimeter, I nabbed 89 coins, including my first ever Sacajewea Dollar coin, and also a men's gold wedding...

    Pull Tab Trivia: In case you ever wondered...

    In case anyone ever wondered about the cost of pulltabs (I don't really know why anyone would), I recently weighed some (I was bored). They average about 300mg each. That's about 1500 per US pound (avoir). Scrap aluminum cans are currently being bought at 86 cents per pound. That makes each...

    Modern Military Ordinance Finds?

    Some years ago, while detecting, my Dad found an old intact artillery shell which appeared to still be "live" at a remote area of an old beach resort. It appeared to have either misfired, or been a dud. It was stamped "1914", and was about the size of an anti-aircraft shell (but I do not believe...

    Unwanted Observers

    One time while detecting a park on a very tight schedule, I did not want to be bothered by anyone (just wanted to concentrate). A kid came up to me to see and ask what I was doing. I told him I was searching for land mines and he soon left. In retrospect, I may have lost an opportunity to...

    Detector Storage Question.

    Hi, In my home, safe storage of my detectors is a problem. However, I was thinking about hanging them on the wall (coat rack style). Before I do, if hanging vertically by the coils, can this damage the coils in any way? If so, I guess I will need to store them horizontally. Thanks,

    Old Mill Site

    Hi everyone, I just joined this forum and it looks like a great place for an incredible amount of useful information. I just received permission from a landowner to detect his property (~9 acres) which includes some very old buildings and an old grist mill on a tiny creek. I heard that it was...
