    It's nice to have a hobby that pays back!!!!

    Today I cashed in my clad that I had found over the last little while. I do not get out to hunt as much these days so I was a bit surprised when It was enough to pay for my new coil and some extras. It is nice to have a hobby that is exciting, fun and pays you back enough to buy new gear and...

    7" widescan or 12x10 widescan

    I have the opportunity to purchase my first widescan coil with change pulled entirely from the ground, but will only have enough to purchase either the 7" or the 12x10 widescan coil. Now you guys know how hard we work to pull that much change from the ground. Been saving my pennies and now I...

    Coil purchase advice

    Hi everyone. I recently moved to Virginia and I have a few questions about the soil composition and what coil may produce the best results. I am wondering if the soil has a lot of mineralization first of all. I am also looking to buy a new coil. I have plenty of concentric coil options now...

    Wish Tesoro would make some vintage machines again

    I was looking on Tesoros website yesterday and today under the manuals section and thinking of the models from the past that are so hard to find. Some are in larger supply than others and some are as hard to find as that priceless treasure in the trashiest of ground. I bet every Tesoro owner...

    Tesoro Piranha

    Hi. Couple of questions about a detector I have only read about in a users manual, but would like to own one someday if any still exist out there. Had my hopes of finding one for 2 years, but no luck. Apparently they are really hard to find. Has anyone ever used one of these Tesoro Piranhas...

    Wtb Tesoro Piranha

    I know it is a long shot, but I have wanted one of these detectors for a couple of years. It is an older model Tesoro that I just have to have. Hoping someone has one or knows someone that has one that is willing to part with it . Thanks and HH.

    Father and son hunt

    Yesterday I took my son to the park to play on the play ground and I decided to do some detecting while we were there. I helped him to learn how the compadre worked and the pin pointer and showed him how to dig. Up to that point I had found a small amount of clad in including only 1 quarter...

    Compadre finds silver 925 spoon handle ring

    The compadre strikes again. This time on Virginia soil. I found a 925 stamped silver ring that looks like an old silver spoon handle bent around to make a ring and is stamped with an f inside a diamond shape as well. It is my 1st one of this kind i have found. It has been a long time since I...

    Thinking of selling my Eldorado Umax or Bandido Umax

    Somebody please tell me I am crazy or stupid. I know both of these units are getting harder to find and I am an idiot to be searching for anything else, but that is what we do in this hobby. We seem to never be satisfied with what we have. Some of the reason I had this crazy notion to sell...

    Found my 1st class ring

    On Saturday I found my 1st class ring. I was detecting by myself unfortunately, but still called my dad who detects to let him know. This one will be going back to a very happy owner. The full name of the owner last name and first name is engraved in the ring and it is a nice looking ring...

    Detecting in west part of Virginia

    I will be visiting family in June in the western part of Virginia close to Tennesee and wondered if anyone who hunts out that way could tell me if my Compadre with preset ground balance would work out there. I plan to bring my eldorado umax or bandido umax as well. It should be a fun time.

    WTB: 7" Concentric Tesoro Umax coil

    I know it is probably a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone has a 7" concentric 5 pin coil for the Tesoro Umax detectors they would like to sell? Let me know if you have one and what you would like to sell it for. Thank you.

    Silver Sabre Umax threshold disc mode question

    I am not sure on the answer to this question. I am selling my Silver Sabre Umax detector and the buyer asked if the threshold works in the disc mode on this detector. From what I can tell in disc mode if the threshold is increased it gives a little louder audio response on a target, allowing...

    A moment of remembrance

    Tonight my wife showed me an obituary of a fellow detectorist in my area who had passed away. He spent many years detecting and collecting coins. I saw him out and about a few times when I was detecting and never went up and introduced myself. I knew from another friend who detects who this...

    Pictures of Eldorado Umax

    My Eldorado Umax arrived 40 minutes before I had to go to work yesterday. Just enough time to break open the package and see what I had purchased. First thing I saw were the headphones. I asked him when I was buying the detector if he knew what brand the headphones were. He said just some...

    Newest Arrival-Eldorado Umax

    I have seen some posts about the Eldorado Umax and some reviews that speak highly of it's performance. My Eldorado is slated to arrive tomorrow. It took me a little while to hunt one of these down. I hardly ever see one in the classifieds on this site or for sale on other sites and when they...

    Winter Hunting

    In my neck of the woods I am starting to feel a chill in the air. It is a sad reminder that winter will soon be here and many outdoor activities will be put on hold. The winters here can be very unforgiving and typically chilling, sometimes to the bone. Last year that did not stop me from...
