    Got my first silver :crazy:

    I got up today at the ungodly hour of 6;15am. That's early for me. I'm usually up at 9:30am. So I get to the park figuring I was going to work around the old graveyard because I just liked "the way it looked" before I get there I start working near the hill near the pond and then I work the hill...

    What is the proper way to make a plug?

    I have always been under the assumption that making a cut in front of the find indicated and then one on each side so you can flap the plug still hinged to the grass structure was the best way to preserve the grass but I have been seeing people just cutting out a big round crater with no grass...

    Ferrous vs. Conductive --- When we really look at it!

    http://www.minelabtips.com/index.php/title/Ferrous_vs__Conductive/ID/b0655919/fuseaction/article.main.htm I think this article makes sense and I am going to try it later on today after I work out. You hear that Bruce! I don't blow my appointments off for the Holy Swing. You should grasp those...

    Weird token-like coin found near old monument

    Here's a weird token like object I found near the base of a 1877 monument in my state park. It has 9L SOFT on on side and it seems to have a letter J on the other side?? It feels like the weight of a quarter?

    How important is having a positive attitude while swinging?

    Skill and putting in the time with your MD means a lot but ... If we let our attitude dictate how attentive we are to the signal or screen by thinking in our minds there is nothing here and we start getting depressed we might give up and miss something. We can be vigilant but the ground has to...

    Pinpointing mode

    Just a quick question. Why does pinpoint seem to be all over the place and other times it is much tighter? I know putting pinpoint when on the target is not recommended. I noticed sometimes to shutting it off and then on again it becomes much tighter.

    E-TRAC & GPX 4500 -- 5 year extended warranty?

    Does this extension apply to people who bought their E-TRAC when it first came out? If I was an E-TRAC owner I would want to know.

    Ghost signal?

    I was reading up on the sunray X-1 and they mentioned this, "On a similar note, one of the things that can happen to deep targets with some detectors (its very common in BBS and FBS technology) is that the machine may loose the target altogether after you've dug 8" or more." They then mention...

    A few hours in the park - 1919 wheatie & possible arrowhead

    I found some clad and then when I was digging that I came across this strange stone. It looks and feels like an arrowhead. The pics of it where you get a frontal and rear view do not really show the contour of the back. It definitely looks like someone deliberately shaped it. I found it on the...

    I have the Minelab Excalibur 1000 in mind. What would you say to persuade me to get the Infinium?

    I had posted this in the Infinium Classroom but traffic is very slow over there so ... "I have been thinking about getting the Excalibur 1000 from Minelab. What are the pluses & minuses of the Infinium LS over the Excal? This has been talked about a little bit in Beach hunting forum of which...

    I have been thinking about getting the Excalibur 1000 from Minelab. What are the pluses & minuses of the Infinium LS over the Excal?

    Here's the Minelab "Safari"

    http://www.kellycodetectors.com/minelab/safari.htm Looks like the Quattro but has the 11" Pro coil. I was wondering why they were selling the Quattro so cheap. I'm sure their are some obvious differences. I am going to download the manual and see. No manual out there for it yet. It also looks...

    Rechargeable batteries for the Ex II SE

    Anyone use a high-end rechargeable that is specific to the Minelab as you have to use 1.5v x 8 for a total of 12v. All the batteries I looked at are 1.2v and when you utilize them for a pack the MD does not run as it needs 12v, 9.6v doesn't cut it. I would also prefer low-discharge as I hunt...
