    First Beach Hunt in nearly 14 years...

    Good questions kajunman. I just left the default settings in Beach2. I did look at the recovery speed and it was at 6, so I left it there. This was an inner city freshwater beach newly created a few years ago. The beach is directly under a freeway bridge and adjacent to very loud inner city...

    First Beach Hunt in nearly 14 years...

    Maybe our hard, or is that hardy, work this beach season will payoff with well-honed skills when the 'humans' return to the beaches and drop goodies for us. :)

    First Beach Hunt in nearly 14 years...

    First Beach Hunt in nearly 14 years... No gold rings, No silver rings, and no necklaces and so forth. I detected a small, very small inner city beach with my Equinox 800 in Beach 2 mode (set to 50 tone), with the 6" coil. I walked into and out of water, up to dry sand and along tide out line. I...

    my "real" finds..last 2 weeks

    http://nwdetectorist.epizy.com/antidiscriminationact.htm My thoughts exactly; although I do occasionally goof off and crank up the discrimination when my back injuries are running the show. :)

    This ever happen to you?

    'Double-Clutching' is what the old timers taught me in using this same technique with White's XLT.

    This is just SO wrong!! 😂😂😂

    Better than a Reader's Digest/Publisher's Clearing House fake aluminum with gold color anodized on it. Just a day before in the same old park (back in 1997 as a newbie) I had found an 1854 Seated Liberty Quarter. So... ...when the edge of this showed gold, I just about shit my pants. I very...

    the silver streak is over!

    IN the Oregon; Portland area to be exact; I have my best luck about 1.5 to 2 days after a good hard rain. I do believe that too much water in the ground can smear or just overload the eddy current part of how a detector signals a find. That day or two after scenario (for me) gives enough wet to...

    Okay so I realize I'm new to this brand of detector...

    I was advised by a trusted electronics person years ago, who stated that wrapping the coil wire introduced a 'kind of internal' short across the transmission and reception signals. In computer networking classes I also learned that the 'wrapped pair' in Ethernet Cat5 cabling functionally...

    Okay so I realize I'm new to this brand of detector...

    Check this article out. BTW; in heavy trash inner city parks I run between 14 and 17 on sensitivity or else chatter, even when I exclusively use the 6" coil. We have very mineralized soil here in Oregon. Noise Cancel and Other Tips

    US Mint declaring world Silver Shortage:

    From an article I read about 20 years ago... from what I can remember. 1. The 'Hunt Brothers' cornering of silver futures in the early 80s drove up silver prices so high that much of the family heirloom, jewelry, etc. was sold off. (read as not as much available now) 2. All the smaller mines...

    Im still cussing a blue streak.....

    Well... At least it wasn't a glittering Gold Publishers Clearing house coin made of aluminum, will the heraldic eagle and all. Or... the Eagle Claw round emblem with all the looks of encrusted gold coin found nearly 10 inches under and next to entrance post lantern at 1909 park. Grrrr!!!

    Exoskeleton... What do you use when the back is 'shot'???

    Exoskeleton Several years ago I briefly owned a Minelab Pro-Swing 45 Harness. I found it to be somewhat bulky but did do the job of taking most of the strain off my back. Because I only owned this for a short period, I did not get a chance to figure out how it really worked. Currently I am...

    sharping digging tools

    Nice, I just did the cheapo 6" Harbor Freight bench grinder that I have and all is ok for now. I do have a 4" grinder with cutoff wheel. Just need a solid workbench and vise and will give it a try as well.

    sharping digging tools

    OK; my question is... When sharpening my Lesche hand digger for example; in the past I just used a file. I am wondering with something like a wet wheel sharpening machine; would I remove less material from my digger? If so, what affordable machine would you suggest? I am looking at maybe the WEN...
