    Need Bounty Hunter Quick Silver Advice

    I bought a Bounty Hunter Quick Silver this past weekend and it looks like a blast to use. I've never had a detector with an audio ID system before, I'm hoping to be able to go into trashy areas and still manage to dig up a coin. Any advice Pro or Con will be greatly appreciated.

    Looking for a coil for a Fisher 555 D/B

    I was given a Fisher 555 D/B. It appears to power up, unfortunately I don't know if it works having no coil. I know nothing about Fisher, but I'd appreciate any leads or information.

    First Gold Ring

    I've been detecting since 1972. I know I've dug my own weight in pull-tabs and bottle caps, at times I've been lucky, and at times at the end of a hunt, I had nothing to show but an apron full of junk, but this morning, finally, my first gold ring. I didn't even allow myself to get excited...

    Trying to get my older Whites serviced

    I have a 1976 Whites Coinmaster 5 Supreme that used to detect a quarter at 10 inches, now 3 inches tops. I've tried unsuccessfully to contact Whites service department and S. Howard for advice, with no reply, these were prominent E-mail addresses givin on their web page. If anyone has some...

    What is the rate of coin descent

    I found a park that is 120 years old. My question is will I be digging 12" holes every time, or can I find old coins at 5 or 6 inches. I would love to find a coin from the19th century but if it involves a shovel I'd just as soon not even think about it!

    Communicating with my Deleon

    I've had my Deleon for 3 years now, and today I tried listening to what it was trying to tell me rather than what I thought I should be hearing. I left with more money and some other goodies than I've found since last year. I hate it when I find out my metal detector is smarter than I am!

    Found an old Bounty Hunter I.B. series

    Been looking for a Bounty Hunter I.B. series since 1976. Found an I.B. 200 on E-bay. 80.00 dollars later it's sitting in my front room. Looking forward to digging a lot of coinage. also a lot trash, (no discriminator!) but it's easy to pinpoint a target. I figure I can dig the surface...

    To Greed and the search for Treasure

    Had the best summer since the 1970's. Found rings, pendants, coins from the "30's and a small bucket full of clad, but I WORKED for it, am I wrong to wish for a mason jar full of $20.00 gold pieces? Just something to retire on, that's all I ask. I love this sport, and I love my Tesoro Deleon...

    Impressed with the Tracker 1-D/505

    I bought a Tracker 1-D/505 at a garage sale last summer, used it a little just to make sure it worked, but not a lot. I took it along yesterday and found a pocketful of clad within an hour, nothing great, but for the first time in my metal detecting career, I understood the discriminator, I...

    Anybody out there still use an I.B. 300?

    Always wanted one, I'm curious about the depth, reliability, and ease of use.

    Need advice on a 2nd detector

    I own a Deleon and I absolutely love it! However, sometimes I would like something with about half the power and dead-on pinpointing so I can clean trashy areas that might be worth the effort! Also a smaller search coil. I'm looking to detect a dime at about 4 or 5 inches, I don't care about...

    Who's heard the "emeralds under the tree story"?

    It's probably a myth, but I heard a story that long ago somewhere in Asia there was a big storm and an unlucky tree got blasted by a thunderbolt. Down goes the tree and as it turns out cradled in the roots were an undetermined amount of emeralds. Good story, but is it real?

    Does anyone out there still use a A.H. Pro?

    Always wanted one, they were different than what was being offered in the '70's. If anyone has some stats as far as depth and discrimination, even some treasure stories would be welcome!

    Study and the Deleon

    Now that the season is winding down, I'm looking forward to some study time concerning the discrimination of the Deleon. I know 80% of the information the Deleon is trying to give me is flying right over my head! Next spring, I intend to know more. I don't mind digging targets that I'm unsure...
