    FS: Minelab X-Terra 50 Package (Central MN)

    It's time to thin the herd a little. Up for sale is a gently used Minelab X-Terra 50 along with everything else needed to get started in detecting. This is a great machine to start out with as it's lightweight, well balanced, simple to use and offers good power/discrimination for the money. With...

    Trust those ears.....:minelab:

    Recently Dew has made a few comments about us needing to look for more reasons "to dig" -- instead of reasons "not to dig" -- and not relying on the Smart Screen or digital numbers so much. This got me thinking and I wondered if I was paying too much mind to the cursor position with my hunting...

    Old Military Piece?

    Hello All, I found this piece at an old home site that has produced coins and other artifacts dating back to the 1880's. You can see some of the other finds on the Explorer forum. I originally thought this was junk, but a little cleaning revealed that is had some engraving on it. So, I decided...

    1903 House Gives Up A Couple More Keepers :minelab:

    After a hectic day at work, starting up a new system, I needed a little break. So, I stopped at the same 1903 house that gave up the goods last Friday. I only got about a half hour of hunting in before the rain started, but it was a good half hour. I ended up digging the two buttons pictured...

    I think I'm a ferrous/AM kind of guy -- the beast is finally speaking to me. :minelab:

    For most of the season my hunting partner and I have been detecting a few fields where the first settlement in our county stood. Our hunts have given up several minnie and musket balls, .44 Henry cartridges, 1865 and 1871 IH cents, 1854 Seated dime, 1854 Seated half dime and many other relics...

    Kellyco Update -- 8x6 SEF

    I finally broke down and ordered an 8x6 SEF from Kellyco last night. I spoke with a CS rep about a half hour ago to get an update on the back order situation. They have 30 units coming in, with an estimated delivery by the end of May (hopefully). She said that I am #8 on the waiting list. So...

    Finally.....hit silver with the SE! :cheers:

    My brother-in-law and I hit one of our abandoned farm sites today and I was finally able to sniff out silver with the SE -- and what a beauty she turned out to be! Looks like it fell right out of the mint's press onto the ground. So far for the year, I'm at a 13:1 wheat to silver ratio, but I...

    Pulled my first silver of the year.....

    .....out of the change I got at the gas station today -- '64 Rosie. Hey, silver is silver, right? :wiggle: B-I-L and I will be hitting it hard this Saturday -- 1903 and 1905 houses that gave up a few old goodies on the short recon hunts last week. :super: Good luck and HH, Jeff

    It's here.....!!!

    The new SE showed up here at work today! Had it shipped here as it was signature required. Now the box is sitting on the table in my office "staring" at me and the clock has apparently stopped running.:blink: I haven't posted much on here, but have done a lot of reading and learning. I wanted...

    Question on an old farm site.....?

    Hi all, I'm new to detecting -- bought an X-Terra 50 a little over a week ago and have been out every day but one since - trying to learn the machine. It has been a challenge trying to learn what the machine is telling me, for sure, but I'm enjoying the time outdoors. I had been doing some...
