Well, today, in the same park, I stop my car in an area I never detected before Got out the detector, walked 5 feet into the...

    F 75 could ?????

    Just a word of caution about the F75 11 inch stock coils. My original coil completely failed after only 3 months of use. Fisher replaced it. I used the replacement coil for 2 years and it also failed. I examined the coil closely and found a tiny crack in the coil where moisture could have...

    108 nickels in the same hole

    The day before yesterday, I found 108 nickels in the same hole. I had to dig out the root ball of a small tree to get at the majority of them. Once I got the root ball out, the nickels flowed like water. The oldest of them is a 1945 war nickel, a 1947 and a 1949, and the rest are in the 60's...

    Amazing Luck

    I was picking walnuts in a park in upstate New York. I had to meet a friend at 6 PM and it was only 5 PM and I was done picking walnuts. I had time to kill, about 30 minutes to be exact. Here I am in this 700 acre park, 80 percent which is heavily wooded and full of hills and valleys. So I am...

    Greatest oldest finds of my 20 years of metal detecting

    I was given permission to hunt an area where the 2nd largest Seneca Indian tribe in New York State lived. In 1630, several Jesuit priests from France visited this area and brought with them rings (known now as Jesuit Rings), tiny bells (known as French Trade Bells), and copper cooking pots. The...

    More oldest finds of a life time

    Last week I posted pics of 3 crotal bells and mentioned that my hunting buddy found 2 Jesuit rings and other things. Here are the pics of a one day hunt my friend found. By the way, he found the second Jesuit ring less than 10 seconds after he found the first one. Gotta be some kind of world...

    Oldest finds of my life about 1650's

    My hunting buddy and I were detecting this Indian village site known to have been there for most of the 1600's and often visited by Jesuits who lived there for months or even years at a time between 1647 and about 1660. My friend more excited than I've ever seen him says he found a Jesuit ring...

    My oldest find yet...a milestone day for me

    My previous oldest find was an 1847 large cent found last year. Yesterday I found an 1820 large cent. Yes, it is in lousy shape and after some effort I was able to read the date. But I bested myself by 27 years and I don't care about how it looks. It was just exciting to find such an old...

    FA mode VS FE mode in an upgraded F75se

    I usually hunt using the FA mode with DST turned on. But then this week I discovered something that just floored me. Maybe it is just my machine or maybe not. Here it is in a nut shell. In the FA mode I was barely able to hit a quarter at 6 inches but in any other mode like FE or JE, I easily...

    First good finds with the updated F75se

    I've only had the upgraded detector for about a week and haven't hunted much with it yet. Today, I visited some friends about 50 miles from where I live. I go down there a few times a year. They have 175 acres, mostly wooded. I didn't go there to detect, just for a really great Italian meal...

    Some observations on the F75se upgrade

    DST defaults to ON out of the box. That would be 90. If you want to turn off DST (91), you turn on the detector while pushing the toggle switch forward and depressing the red switch and turn the setting knob to 91. Fine, works great. But this procedure also resets the detector back to the...

    F75se upgrade

    Well, I missed the last upgrade session a few years ago. But this time I sent it in. I just got it back a few days ago. New control box, new arm rest padding, and new hand grip padding. I have to tell you that the control box was being held on with duct tape before I sent it in. I tripped in the...

    Help with a token

    A friend of mine found a token. It is octagonal (8 sides) and the size of a nickel. On one side it says "Fatty's" and the other side it says "Good for 5c In Trade At Bar" Obviously, Fatty's is a bar. It is copper colored. Wish I had a pic to send. The reason he is excited about it is...

    Like they say no area is EVER hunted out

    There is this huge very wooded and very hilly 600 acre park near where I live. It is full of miles of hiking trails. Well, I like many other detectorists who just simply like hunting in the woods have gone there for years with not impressive results. Occasionally a nice find is to be had. Well...
