    Flying with a metal detector

    Hi everyone. In two weeks, I'll be taking a trip to Northern California (domestic flight within the US), and was wondering if anyone here has flown with their detector recently. I'm mostly concerned about TSA rules, since I'd like to take mine in my carry-on luggage (don't want it getting...

    Garrett AT Pro vs. Fisher F70

    Okay, I know pitting two detectors against each other and asking for opinions on which is "better" is a haphazard thing to do, but here goes. I'm looking to upgrade from a bounty hunter unit (fun machine, but I'm ready for something more serious). I've narrowed my search down to these two...

    Vaquero for coins?

    Hi everyone, I've been looking around for a new detector lately. I need a machine that would be good for hunting older coins, yet able to function in newer parks for clad hunting on occasion. I'm particularly interested in the Vaquero because of the very positive reviews I've read of the...

    Bounty Hunter Headphones Issue

    I was out detecting today, using the same pair of bounty hunter headphones that I've used for about a year now. As I was getting up from recovering a target, I pulled on the headphone cord, and just like that, my headphones stopped working (I couldn't get a sound out of them, even with the...

    A word on iron signals...

    Ever since I started detecting, I would mostly use disc. mode to search schoolyards and parks. I knew that there were iron signals in these places, but I always figured they weren't worth digging. Then, a few months ago, I decided to start digging them, just to see what they were. While some...

    Bounty Hunter's new detectors

    I just stopped by the Bounty Hunter Website for the first time in a while, and noticed that they've added a whole bunch of new detectors. Some are actually new models, but I also noticed a lot of duplication. For example, one of the "new" models is the "Snooper 3". Correct me if I'm wrong...

    Question for those who have test plots/beds...

    I planted a test bed with about a dozen different targets this past March. As a part the test bed, I burried bronze (pre-1982) pennies at various depths (1,3,5,7, and 9 inches). Now, three months later, I took my Lone Star out to see what it could do. Currently, only the 1 inch penny gives...

    keys?

    Hey everyone. I was detecting today on a beach and found a key for what looks like a PO box. Its got the letters USPS on it and a number. I'm wondering, when you find something like this, do you make an attempt to return it, or isn't it worth the effort? Thanks in advance for your opinions...

    Ground Mineralization Question

    I've heard and read that ground mineralization varies a lot from place to place. Ever since I got my detector, I've wondered just how mineralized the soil is here in Hawaii, and thus if I'm losing significant depth due to ground mineralization. Then I remembered that the ground here isn't very...

    best pinpointer under $100?

    Hi everyone. I've been looking at various pinpointers under $100, and wanted to get some opinions on them. I'm mainly interested in the bounty hunter or tinytec, but I'm open to other suggestions. Also, I've herd that tinytec has halted sales of its pinpointer due to health concerns.:shrug...

    Question for those who hunt schools...

    Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and this great hobby. I was wondering... do you ask permission before hunting at public schools? I'm curious, since their grounds are often open to public use anyway. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks & HH in advance.

    Lonestar on the Beach?

    Greetings! I'm new to this forum. I use a BH Lonestar, and have thus far enjoyed it. I'm interested in taking my machine to a beach for the second time. In the past, I've only used it on dry sand, but this time, I'd like to try it on the wet shoreline sand. I'm going on the assumption that...
