    Correct charger base?

    Thanks!!

    Correct charger base?

    I purchased my D2 about a year ago and have just left the charge mains and USB base either plugged into the wall or next to that outlet. I went to charge my detector the other day and found one of my family members had taken the USB base! I vaguely recall the original instructions mentioning...

    2 short hunts, yesterday and today

    Still looking for my first. That’s a fine day in my book!

    Help with identification

    Meteorites should not have vesicles (air bubbles), and it looks like yours has quite a few. So if it is heavy, my guess would be slag.

    First merc

    Congrats! Hope many more jolts of adrenaline to follow…

    First hunt of 2024, first firearm!

    Reading about the success of so many forum members on their first 2024 hunt made me itch to get out myself. So, I took an afternoon before the storm front moved in to go hunt the site where I found three 100+ year old coins and a token during my last couple outings. With my 11x13, I moved...

    Two Afternoon Hunts - Three Coin Denominations 100+ Years Old!

    Yep! Although I suspect with all the quarters I am finding, this place has not been hunted in a while.

    Some finds I recently cleaned

    I used a set of Andre’s crayons. This set was about $25 online (but note I am not showing a vendor in the picture as I don’t want to run afoul of any advertising restrictions). Generally, I used the white fiberglass tip in small circles in an area that appeared to be devoid of any pattern. I...

    Some finds I recently cleaned

    I know cleaning/not cleaning and method of cleaning may be controversial. I do not post this with the intention of discussing whether or not to clean, nor the merits of any particular method. I simply wish to show some results. I recently found some old coins and a token. The Indian head...

    Token reference compendium

    Given the large variety of tokens historically minted, identifying an old token can sometimes be a nearly impossible task. As such, I thought I would start a thread where people can post information on various regional, local, or state references for token identification. I will start off with...

    Two Afternoon Hunts - Three Coin Denominations 100+ Years Old!

    Thank you both! I just received a set of the cleaning “crayons”, and experimented with a couple of wheat pennies before tackling these. I think I’ll have to make a separate thread for cleaning, but I wanted to post the results here so you can see the before and after. These are the same...

    Two Afternoon Hunts - Three Coin Denominations 100+ Years Old!

    Went out for an afternoon hunt, and dug what I thought was a quarter as light was fading. When I started washing my finds, one “quarter“ was not like the others. It was a little larger and had a large number five on one side. There is writing on the other side but I can’t make out what. It...

    My first day with the 11 x 13.

    Same site, same coil, different day - a taco’d key, chain and fob. The fob reads New entrance to Mammoth Cave, KY. Frozen Niagara. The Frozen Niagara entrance was discovered in 1921. So, if the entrance is “new”, then the fob should date to the 1920s, but no idea when it was lost after that.

    I need help

    Probably more likely quartzite. Other than that, I concur with Johnho.

    Will AI lead to a Deus 3?

    Just so long as those new AI detectors don’t automatically notify the IRS when you find something…

    Six Silver Day Without a Detector.

    Now to bury all those silver coins so you can dig them up with your metal detector. 😁 Maybe I should hawk my detector and buy a coin star for a local market….

    Finds from the old farm

    With finds like that, I hope you have permission to go back!

    My first day with the 11 x 13.

    I am a bit torn. I understand the balance may be better with a centralizer, but I have been swinging a White’s Spectrum XLT for a long time. So, having the coil mount near the rear is second nature for me. I did feel the 11x13 in my arm after a while, but not as much as the XLT. The 9” is...

    My first day with the 11 x 13.

    Thanks, and you too! My next plan is to recheck some locations which have yielded mercs and IHPs. I will be thrilled if it finds more at locations I gridded two ways with the 9”.

    My first day with the 11 x 13.

    Next thing I will have to invest in will be a root cutting spade. Digging around roots with a hand trowel takes time - especially if you are trying to go deep!
