    My Father died in March while I was visiting the USA in March this year (I live Philippines mostly now). I wanted to write about the day we buried him. After the burial I decided to go metal detecting in the park where I grew up and started my metal detecting. The park I grew up in is in a...

    Went to several old churches the other day here in the Philippines. The first church had a section dated 1936 but feel it was built earlier. Found a few 25 centavos coins, even 3 in one hole. Then dug up a copper disc and could not tell what it was only that it looked like a coin. We drove...

    First Silver of 2012 and first in Philippines

    Decided to try some beach detecting today in Talisay, Philippines. A word on the beaches here. It is not like USA at all...there are no woman in bikinis, woman laying on blankets to get a tan. Philippine woman do not like the sun; they even carry umbrellas in the sunshine. Philippine culture...

    SE Pro VS GPX 4800

    I have my SE Pro here in the Philippines with me and I do not want to keep bringing it back and forth when traveling so I am planning on getting a metal detector for USA and leave it there to use when there. I looked at the GPX 4800 video and it shows that it works well for beach and coins...
