    Military button ID help...lets see how good you folks are!

    Hey folks. Well I am trying to identify yet another find I recently made. I found this one-piece button the same day, and on the same site I found the lions head buckle I posted on the best finds forum. I am guessing this button dates between 1770 and 1812 based on the finds I have made...

    Okay...had to see what all the T2 hype is about

    just bought one off of Jeff. I will keep you all posted as to my thoughts on the machine. They will be honest thoughts obviously, as I am not hoping the machine fails. I guess the only real way to find out if a machine will do what you want it to...is to try it. Might require some tips and...

    Follow up on Minelab customer service!

    Well I thought I would follow up my post from a few days ago in regards to Minelabs customer service. Time to eat a little crow...*hah* This is one time I don't mind however. I think it's safe to say my initial post in regards to Minelabs customer service was a little premature...and way off...

    Minelab Explorer Electronics Difficulties...help

EVERYTHING set to zero...volume, threshold, tones, contrast, you name it. I can enter all of my settings and get the machine set how i want...and once this is done, it...

    Removing the control housing from the explorer

    okay guys... I need to know how to get the back of the control housing off the shaft/stem. I could probably figure it out...but would prefer that I can get it back on after *hahah* I have checked the machine over quite a bit...and am making progress. It is NOT the coil, coil wires...

    Explorer XS Problem...help

    Well I was out in with my explorer a few days ago in some pretty heavy rain (yes, I know this isn't recommended) I have detected in the rain, and wet conditions before with no problems. This time around, after a while I started getting falsing...very low tones....which gradually got worse. I...

    Back to the site again...more finds

    Well I went back to the site that coughed up all the coins the other night. I spend about 2 hours out there last night. Seems the targets are fewer...but there are still some keepers in there. -1812 half penny -I thought this was just another 1700's coin...but I just found it in my...

    Last nights excellent hunt....

    I hit a site I have done quite a few times and have pulled some great finds from in the past...and wow did I have some serious success. Signals are few and far between. This place is LOADED with old square nails and iron. I decided to creep through the iron. I find I often get high toned chirps...

    Yesterdays finds

    I was finally able to escape for some detecting. Most of my sites are under corn right now...so I wasn't expecting to find a ton since the sites available to me don't produce much anymore. I found a few keepers A beaten up and holed ships and colonies token An 1886 Quarter A couple of flat...

    ID help from military relic buffs...Rev war? 1812?? Newer?

    alright guys. I have asked on every forum imaginable, from the UK to Canada...and nothing. Someone out there must know what the heck this thing is!? I found this piece at a site that turned up military artifacts dating from the revolutionary war, to the war of 1812. All British...

    Did I hear my name? :D

    Howdy folks! Long time no speak! I heard some of the folks on this forum have been dragging my good name through the mud! *LOL* Noooo...I am not bothered by the off-topic discussions, and the jokes, etc here at all. *haha* In fact, I miss this forum...and all of the great folks who post here...

    Need some help...detectors with Tone ID

    Hi folks. I currently use a Mielab Explorer, and I love the tone ID it offers. I am under the impression that no other detector out there offers such an extensive tone ID...although I could be wrong. I'm not a fan of the 4 tone machines I have tried. Can anyone offer me any suggestions as to...

    Detecting in February

    Wow, I managed to get out this week for a couple of hunts. It sure is nice to be able to detect this time of year...and it was even nicer to make some decent finds. 4-1700's coppers (George II, and III) 8-Large Pennies (check out the detail on the 1859) 2 dimes (1917, and 1913) some flat...
