    Rhode Island Beaches

    Looking for someone with firsthand knowledge of Rhode Island beach detecting laws. i'm headed that way tomorrow, Narragansett area with my Infinium and would like to hear from you please. If not, I'll have to waste time checking with the police. Thanks for the help!

    AT Pro Bonus find

    This came up in my scoop while detecting a sand bar about 50 feet from shore in a nearby lake. I have no idea how it ended up there. Was the lake lower and the area an ancient campground? Was it used on a weapon to catch fish? Any thoughts? We'll never know for sure but it was really cool...

    Corroded silver

    I picked up 3 silver coins at an old fresh water beach yesterday and they are heavily corroded. Any advice on returning their luster? Here they are setting in some olive oil.

    Where would you look?

    I've received permission to detect on an 1890's home site. There is an old dam on the site that once held back about a one acre pond. I'm thinking it had to be the local swimming hole at one time. Kids being kids, they probably skinny dipped, had a rope swing, jumped in from the dam, etc...

    Helping Archeologists

    I had the awesome experience of helping archeologists explore the site of a Revolutionary battlefield yesterday. The state of NY invited local detectorists to help detect the site. Finds were cataloged and flagged so that their location could be GPS'd later. They included grape shot from...

    Garrett customer service

    I kayaked to one of my favorite party sandbars today and noticed pretty quickly that my AT Pro was not acting right. Everything was ringing up at 53, bottle caps, cans quarters, dimes, etc. I called Garrett from the lake thinking that it was something that could be fixed by a reboot of some...

    Blue headphones

    I've been using the blue headphones while wading because I kayak to my detecting spots and I don't want to dunk a pair of the black ones that are not waterproof. I just can not get used to the tones on the blue ones. They make a bottle cap sound like a coke can and seem to only have 2 tones...

    Bottle Caps

    Been doing a lot of swinging in a field littered with bottle caps and am learning something. I'm using the AT Pro with the big stock DD coil, in Pro mode, and with discrimination at 30. What I'm learning is that the difference between a coin and bottle cap in the headphones is similar to what...

    A little silver

    I received permission to detect a 5 acre property dating back to 1900. However, the owner said that a previous owner had bulldozed the property to "even" out the contours of the land. My hope was that he had enough sense to remove the top soil, do his bulldozing, and then replace the top soil...

    Dodging land mines

    I just got permission to search a 1880's home site. The yard is half under snow and the other half is a little muddy for hunting now but I'm kind of pumped about it. The owner has an over-fed 140 pound pit bull who has littered what is not snowed in with 'land mines". I tried dodging the...

    I find myself watching for good detecting sites in movies!

    Which GoPro?

    I want to get a GoPro for recording my metal detecting adventures but don't want to spend big $$$ on features that I don't need or won't use. I'm thinking a chest harness, waterproof housing, audio, and subtitle features should be enough. Do any of you have recommendations that will help me...

    Which GoPro?

    I want to get a GoPro to record my metal detecting adventures. I'm totally confused by their advertising. Based on user experience, which model and mounts do I need for recording under water with audio and subtitle capabilities? I'd hat to spend $$$$$ on features I don't need or will never use.

    Winter project - Old Trolley Line

    Well, the ground is now frozen so I've been spending my time scouting out new sites for next years detecting. I'm intrigued by the old maps that show a trolley line through my town. Are there artifacts or coins to be found from the building of the trolley line or from the travelers on the...

    Dollar Coins

    Now that many of us have some free time on our hands, how about doing something that will help our hobby immensely. Let's urge the US to take the paper $1 out of circulation and replace it with the $1 coin. Congress has been pussy-footing around this action for too long. Our Canadian brothers...
