    F70 visits the relic field - :unsure:

    Unlike most people in the nation today, it was almost balmy here in SC. A perfect day to take the new F70 to a clean field. I had high hopes for this low mineralization site. On previous hunts here, I had determined that the minerals were dead neutral. I was looking forward to heating up the...

    Just Unpacked My F70

    - - I got this in trade with Mike in KY. Attaboy, Mike! He's known as digginbullits around here and you wont go wrong with him. I was impressed with the build work of the F70. Some have said it is chintzy and cheap, a mere toy. I didn't get that impression. Now, it isn't a battle tank by any...

    Button Up for Uncle Sam...

    ... Yessir, this is the time to be living in South Carolina! Just a hint of frost this morning and a hot cup of coffee, steaming brightly in the cold. I pondered the early morning glow as the sun was reaching over the horizon and wondered, "Where to go detecting?" Well, it was an easy answer -...

    THE RELIC FIELD YIELDS...

    Hit the field again, the one Hal and I spotted last Monday. I brought my new 'Relic-Tone' detector, also known as a Golden, and my trusty Vaquero. I also brought along the Eagle II SL, as Hal fancied he wanted to have a go with it in the hopes of buying it. I've been planning to sell it anyway...

    Golden, Vaquero and the Eagle - relic field hunt

    Hit the field again, the one Hal and I spotted last Monday. I brought my new 'Relic-Tone' detector, also known as a Golden, and my trusty Vaquero. I also drug along the Eagle II SL, as Hal fancied he wanted to have a go with it in the hopes of buying it. I've been planning to sell it and he is...

    Golden finds Buffalo

    Hit a couple of spots today. One was an old school and the other a recently cleared field. I had hunted the old school 15 years ago, but much of the surrounding land has been cleared and opened up. Didn't find much, but that is to be expected for a school that has been hounded for years. I also...

    Increasing Your Gold Jewelry Finds

    "How do I find gold Jewelry? This is a common question, especially among newcomers to this hobby. They buy a new detector or get one given as a gift and, like Christmas sugarplums, visions of gold treasures soon dance in their heads. Manufacturers take advantage of this and make sure to...

    Golden finds Jesus

    Yesterday I went back to retrieve my lost probe. I had left it behind the day before, in the grass of the tennis park where I had been detecting. It is a wicked long and pointy looking thing - capable of scaring any high-brow tennis mom into a fit. I shudder to think what the average teenage...

    Golden - a day of lost and found

    I got my second Golden out today for an hour, to a local park. I like this little park and am familiar with it. It is a good place to take a new detector. After just a few minutes, I was pleased to recall why I liked the Golden. My first lesson was that it is deeper than one may think - and...

    Got my new Golden....

    .... well new to me Golden uMax! Coil cover and the usual doodads, like a dust cover. What I'm looking at for the future is the GB mod that so many make. Does any one have the part number and source for the 3 3/4 turn panel mount pot that takes the place of the threshold control? What is a...

    Different coils for the Golden?

    Im getting another Golden uMAX soon and was wondering a few things about coils. I have no problem with the 9 x 8 that comes with it, but I recently saw one with a Troy 7" on there. I think JB has it. - What is the advantage to that? Better depth, separation or what?... - Is the Tesoro 7"...

    Beep and Dig JOY!!

    I've been using my monotone beepers more lately, sort of going back to my roots if you will. The ones I'm using are the Fisher 1236-X2 and the Tesoro Vaquero. The thing I like most about these detectors is their light weight. I have a touch of tendonitis in my elbow and it isn't bothered by...

    Muddy Day after the rain - White's Eagle II SL - - -

    It has been raining the last few days here in SC, pretty much home-bounding this old detectorist. There was little else to do but put up the Christmas tree and help Lori with the yard decorations... me in my raincoat and her "supervising." At least that is marginally better than shopping. All I...
