    Blew the dust off my E-trac

    Today I blew the dust off my E-trac and hunted a newer park in an old, rundown section of town. It's the kind of place where it's best to keep an eye on what's happening around you so you don't get mugged. Though the park is new, older homes are right across the street. Maybe there were...

    Found 1908d Barber Quarter During Short Hunt

    The weatherman said yesterday this is the wettest Spring ever recorded in Ohio. However yesterday was also a rare and beautiful day with no rain. I headed to a park where the ground was super-saturated and dodged pools of water. It was my third hunt of the year and I think the silver gods...

    1800mAH rechargeable battery questions

    How much longer does the 1800mAH NiMH rechargeable battery last compared to the 1600? Do you need a different charger?

    Scavenger Hunt

    Today I met with a group of treasure hunters in Columbus, Ohio for a scavenger hunt sponsored by our club, the Central Ohio Metal Detecting Assn (COMDA). For those who don't know, a scavenger hunt is where detectorists get points to win prizes by finding various items on a list...like pull...

    My First Yard Hunt - an 1800's Farm House

    Today I hunted a farm house that was built in the 1800's. A friend owns it and invited me to hunt the property. He was as excited about the hunt as I was. This is the first time I have ever hunted a yard. I found two Mercury dimes (1929 & 1935), several wheat cents and some modern change. I also...

    Park Hunt

    I headed to a park to do some hunting and to enjoy the great autumn day we had here in the heart of Ohio. My favorite find of the day was an ornate 1933 Worlds Fair Chicago token. It appears to be a penny that was flattened and engraved in one of those penny pressing machines. It is a pretty...

    Small Coil Finds

    Today I headed to a "hunted-to-death" park. I know it's a tough place because I've hunted it ad nauseum over the past two years. Two days ago I dug a Barber dime and a Buffalo nickel from a particular area but couldn't get anything else with my 10x12 sef butterfly coil. So today I headed back...

    Gold Fever

    The other evening I hunted for about an hour before it started getting dark. I got a 12-27 signal that was about 5 inches deep. It turned out to be what I believe is a gold ring with fancy initials engraved on it. Here's what it looked like right after I dug it. Today after work I went...

    Another First!

    Today I had two hours to kill so I hunted a grass field not too far from home. I was pulling modern coins out of the ground and the oldest was a 1964 memorial cent. Bummer! Suddenly lightening struck and I got a high toned signal that registered 7 or 8 inches on the depth meter. The numbers...

    Friday the 13th Hunt

    It was a soul draining hot and muggy day last Friday, but I had the itch to hunt. At one site I found a massacred 1892O Barber Quarter. Man, what a shame! But all was not lost. I soon found a 1942S Mercury Dime. At another park I got a deep 30's signal beside a spot where a huge tree was...

    Was I in Two Tone Ferrous?

    A fellow detectorist on another forum told me I was not really in two tone ferrous because I was in the Coin mode when I changed the settings. He claims you must first be in the Relic mode and then change the settings to ferrous sounds and 2 tones with an open screen. He stated that because I...

    Tried 2 Tone Ferrous Today

    Today I decided to give two tone ferrous a try with my E-trac. For three hours I hunted a local park that I've hunted to death. I hunted the first two hours in two tone ferrous with a wide open discrimination screen. During that two hours I dug some trash, two memorials, two wheat cents, a...

    Grass Lot Hunt

    Yesterday I hunted a grass lot where kids have played ball forever. I've hunted it two other times and only found one silver coin there. So it's a pretty tough place to find silver. I found a religious coin and an old marble in the same hole. (I like finding those old marbles.:smile:) The...

    Monster Electrolysis Tank!!!:yikes:

    Modern coins we find while metal detecting are stained brown. Often old copper coins have a green crust-like cement. Many of the metal objects we find no longer have eye appeal, are unidentifiable and need a good cleaning. In the following videos I use my MONSTER electrolysis tank to clean: -a...
