    Some possibly naive questions.........

    If so many folks are coin shooters, and so many of them want silver/copper coins............. Why do the major detector companies not make machines dedicated to this focus ? Like a 3 kHz machine or whatever. Companies need to cover as much market share as possible, so the machines need to be...

    End of the year bits that didn't get posted

    The folded 1924 Good for one Loaf of Bread token was a mixed joy to dig. I saw a passing reference to this bakery token and went to the old bakery site, it was now an urban plant garden by the city and inaccessible. But low and behold about two blocks away in an empty lot, bingo. I was so happy...

    Crazy winter weather got me out for first swing of year

    Never in my wildest dreams would I think that I would swing out here in January. But it got a few degrees above zero yesterday, and I had some time. First up was a tot lot and my first find of the year, a clad quarter. I always look for old garbage along the creek bank as an indicator of...

    My first water gold ?

    This water hunting is fun after all, who knew !, lol. My first water hunt with the AT Pro and new scoop gave me two rings, the next hunt, one ring, now my third hunt may have given me possible gold. This time I ran the iron disc up to 40 and shut off iron audio, I believe. I don't know, I'm...

    How do I remove lime/calcium ? and not patina

    I found a cool badge/key fob ? today and H.P. isn't removing the mineral deposits. My dilemma is how to do this without removing the patina. Any tips are appreciated, thanks.

    Yesterdays water hunt and accumulated crapulance

    I went about five hours hard core in the water yesterday. It is a small area and the finds already seem to be getting fewer. But then I barely know what I'm doing still, so I'm not that worried. Gold has still eluded me but I'm having fun, and with a little luck maybe a sparkly will show up in...

    My first water scoop digs

    I had a blast water detecting ! Who knew?, well most of you already did I'm sure, lol. The rings are costume I believe. And G.od strike me dead if I lie, my first dug signal was a ring !, the little pearl jobbie. It came in high around 80-81 and was shallow. I never went much deeper than crotch...

    Some keepers

    I have been trying, but the keepers are few and far between this year. I am grateful however for finally getting a scruffy fish scale and a large cent. I have never missed that combo since I started the hobby and it feels like some kind of tradition to me. I am starting to keep junk spoons if...

    RTG 710 scoop ?

    I am considering a water scoop for the heck of it. The RTG 710 looks reasonably priced. Any comments on this scoop ?

    Last couple of digs

    More silver dimes, seems to be the only silver that wants to pop up for me lately. The watch is neat. Swiss made, looks like it was a nice one back in the day.

    Last digs

    I got out 3-4 times in the last couple of weeks. No whoop de dooz but I got a few keepers. I found my first tick on me a few days ago, grrrrrrr ! Man I do not like (fear) ticks. The creek was temporarily drawn down, so I decided to walk in ankle deep mud. Decided to check a small spot off of...

    Got out Weds. and Thurs.

    I got some fun time in this past Wed. and Thurs. No earth shakers but I did glom a silver ring and quarter. My copper was a 34 Wheat. And any copper from the 20's or 30's starts to catch my interest.

    Last weeks scratchings

    I was able to get into some ground around tree roots last week. One neat copper was a roached 1918 Wheat. I found a munched mystery ring with internal stampings C.Co. (then some stamping or backward C with a dot in the center ?), below that what looks like Ster 128 ? This whole weird obtuse...
