    Bland, New Mexico

    After the Las Conchas fire in 2011 when property owners were finally allowed back into the canyon to inspect the damage, they found that only two picnic tables, a chicken coop, and a few scorched trees survived. [1]

    The Coldest Case in the Canyon: The Last Lost Treasure of the Old West

    The air in Elko County, Nevada, was bitter on the evening of December 5, 1916. A blinding blizzard rolled into Jarbidge Canyon, choking the narrow mountain pass with snow. Through the whiteout, a small two-horse mail wagon pressed forward, carrying a driver and the lifeblood of a frontier mining...

    The Lost Payroll of the Victorio Campaign: New Mexico's Forgotten Treasure?

    Most treasure hunters have heard of Victorio Peak. Fewer have heard of the Victorio Campaign, and fewer still know that it may have produced one of New Mexico's most plausible lost payroll legends. Unlike stories involving Spanish priests, Aztec gold, or pirate chests, this tale begins with real...

    Bought a back up for the X-terra.

    I wasn't active in this hobby for 10 or so years, to the point where I paid almost no attention to any aspect. My thoughts after returning are that we are in the golden age of metal detecting. So ... many ... choices. And so much heretofore unavailable technology that is modestly priced. Thank...

    Bought a back up for the X-terra.

    That was important to me. I didn't want a "guest" to fill overwhelmed. That and I was intrigued by the multi frequency aspect.

    Bought a back up for the X-terra.

    I'm waiting on delivery on a Vanquish 540 in a Pro Pack. I wanted something my brother could use. I probably researched that model for weeks. I considered other brands. I found the Nokta line interesting, and considered a Double Score, but finally decided on the Vanquish. I'm still working my...

    10 years later, I take my X-terra 705 out of storage.

    Today I took all my coils and removed the coil covers and cleaned the coils and their covers with a damp paper towel. Is that overkill? I also took two new (to me) coils out to the backyard to test that they were operating properly. One was a 6" concentric in 7.5 kHz. The other was a 10" DD in...

    There is a post somewhere in the forum where you state that you are intrigued by the X-terra Pro (I'm paraphrasing). Can you elaborate?

    Help with ID

    Though the design is one I've never seen before, it could possibly be what is know colloquially as a "Dead Man's Penny" or a "Widow's Penny". These were issued after WWI to the next-of-kin of those who died fighting for the British Empire.

    Poor Farm Find

    Perhaps its a button with the likeness of Christian from Pilgrim's Progress. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275534002666
