    Notch and Deep Targets with no VDI

    If notch is a function of target ID, how does this impact those deep targets that sound good, but do not give a VDI number? For example, if I set the notch to allow a VDI range of 80-90 only, is that then only allowing signals that have a VDI? Meaning that a deep target in that range would be...

    Something I noticed about old nickels...

    Most of my old haunts have be E-Trac'ed out so I'm digging iffy signals most of the time these days. Now this is not scientific, your results may vary and I'm not talking about war nickels. This is just an observation I've made in a trashy pulltab filled park that's kinda proven itself. So, I've...

    Weekend finds... Indian themed

    Saturday got to a park and first hit was a 1901 Indian, a good start considering its the first time I've been out since early January. A bunch of wheats (oldest 1912 and one with the remains of two nails in it), a 1945-D war nickel and two old kiddie rings. In the afternoon I had another...

    Wrote some about Iffy signals and it turned into an essay... might be some good info here?

    Bell-Two asked about iffy signals on another forum. I ended up writing quite a bit and I think there may be some good info in here so I thought I'd share it here as well. What is an iffy signal anyway? Basically, I think it's one that does not ID properly on the meter. Or is it the the signal...

    Looking for Ohio users of the V3

    Would like to get some stories and maybe even an unbiased review of the V3 for Ohio Metal Detecting magazine. If you've got some great Ohio finds or Ohio stories with the V3, please let me know. Thanks, Nick

    Yesterday's junk ring not so junky... Babe Ruth!

    Another detectorist on another forum tipped me off that my junk ring wasn't so junky. In fact it was a circa 1935 Babe Ruth premium ring from Quaker Cereals. "It

    Tokens, junk rings, wheats

    My friend Dave called this morning and said he and Anthony were headed over to a park nearby. I wasn't feeling so good (I have a cold) and dang it was cold outside, but I figured I could go out for a bit since it was close by. Dave was dead set on finding all the pulltabs he could. Oops, I mean...

    Great start to 2011

    Stopped by an old school and picked up some wheats, including a railroad smooshed one and a 1944 dime. Went back over to my old park in the area that was good to me in November and was digging sick, weak, iron-y signals and came up with two deep wheats and two Indians, 1906 and 1907. At the...

    Last hunt of 2010

    Hit an old farmhouse with my detecting buddy Suzanne. We were hoping for Indians, but came up short in that department. Nothing older than a 1930 wheat cent at this place that clearly dated back to 1840-1850. She found three silver quarters :surprised: -1952 and two 1956 and a few wheats. I got...

    Silver Jesus, saved! and some other stuff...

    A balmy 35 degrees this morning, bundled up and got out this morning at the park I've been hunting... and didn't find a blasted thing! So I called up my friend Dave to see if he was out freezing today and he and another friend, Anthony were at another park nearby. They were kind enough to...

    November in review... best month of the year!

    Just as the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, I start having the best month of the year! Lots of firsts for me, and these are firsts in 20 years of detecting! Seated coin (dime), fatty Indian (1862), a Chinese cash coin, and a three ringer minie ball. And on top of that, four large...

    Not quite hunted out, yet... first fatty Indian!

    Went back over to the park, still looking for Indians in that same area. Things started out well with a 1902-S Barber dime, then an 1891 Indian. Not long after a 1918-D Mercury dime and then, my first fatty Indian head, an 1862! :thumbup: Also picked up two wheats, a giant 4" square nail and a...

    Last of the oldies from the park...

    Got up early and bundled up to continue at the hot spot I've been working at the park. First hole dug was after walking about 12 feet. It was an xx-33 signal, first out of the hole was a thin copper disc with a ragged hole, then a large cent and wait... there's more, a shield nickel. What a way...

    Native Americans, Two Cents and a Little Haircut

    After finding a lost wedding ring for a super nice guy this morning, my detecting buddy Suzanne and I hit the old park I found a hotspot in for a bit, and we both came up with some nice oldies. She did better than me with six Indians a Mercury dime and a 1902 Barber quarter, but I got a super...
