    Kinda sad pic....

    The Royal Sabre has been setting in the back of my parked van for months- I just plain forgot about it! Well, I saw it and the pitiful shape it's in and decided to take it out. I use the split tone function, so the discriminate knob has set in the lowest position so long it's frozen.:sadwalk...

    Compadre outing...

    Pickings have been slim so I just took my lil' Compadre out. Started out as usual, one penny at first school.:sadwalk:. Second school offered a glimmer of hope- 3 quarters and a dime. The last school I almost just drove on by- I had searched there last week. As I was driving away, I thought well...

    What's wrong with my MX 5?

    Thought I had it fixed when I tightened the connector a few months ago. Then, after an hour's use of running smooth this a.m., the chattering started big time. I tightened the connector- same. I took out batteries, bent little tabs a smidgen to make sure all was tight-same. Did a reset- same. I...

    Has anyone used the Detech 6" coil?

    It claims to be compatible with the MX5 and other Whites. It is being offered by Kellyco at half price of their 6" coil.

    MX5 question...

    I feel I found the problem, but if others have had this issue, I would appreciate confirmation. After 15 minutes the emi interference really started and I even turned the sensitivity down, went back to the front of the school where I had smooth threshold before and it made no difference. Went to...

    Cool video!

    I'm not nerdy enough to know how to post a YouTube video's URL (but would love to learn!) Anywho, there's a cool, funny one of a guy named VOLP using a Compadre on the beach, and then shooting his targets with a slingshot band and pouch, then finding his steel shot with the Compadre. It's a side...

    OK- here's my reply....

    Do NOT leave an expensive metal detector in the car trunk! Fortune really shone upon me. I noticed the sun moved onto the trunk in the evenings. I had always parked it under the giant pecan tree and just happened to notice this miscue. I decided to use my MX5 after a few weeks and when I turned...

    Snipey and the Flyin' Ace as the Mercury climbs...

    to 103° here in East Texas. Too hot to be serious, so Coins mode it was for a short hunt. With the mercury climbing it was only fitting to find a 1942 Merc next to a pole in an old park. Probably too close for bigger coils and probably why it was still there. The Ace showed off a little bit- got...

    It's getting crazier...

    Was in the city park today when Barry of the city told me no digging. I told him I DIDN'T dig because all coins were on top- I simply used my thin screwdriver to probe the grass (the truth!) and flip the target out. His reply? We don't want any type of INCISION in the ground! He has approached...

    Just in case anyone wonders..

    I was the ONLY reviewer of the Lone Star Pro on metal detector reviews.net . It's at least as light as the Tesoro Compadre, and has tone ID as well as adjustable notch. I can search ALL DAY, as this thing is so light. For searchers who hate zincers, most share the tab/foil tone- but the visual...

    OK- the MX5 is a ring monster!

    Heard so much about the one or two tone option so gave both a try. Like single tone best and it hits hard. The heart shaped ring is 10k and hit as 8 ID. The other is 14k and skipped like 3 coins on edge at 10 ID.

    Here's one for you, Amberjak....

    Was out with the MX5- mostly going by the tones- when I got a HARD nickel tone, but with 26 id- usually a large statab-and passed it by. Then I remembered posting my wedding band was at 26. Well, meet Mr. Titanium!!

    Tracker IV- lost and found...

    A couple of weeks ago, I guess I left my Tracker IV somewhere(?) And I went to all the places I'd been-no luck. Yesterday I stopped by a park where a mañ and his son jumped outta their car with-yeah, you guessed it--my Tracker. How do I know? If anyone has one, you know the 4 face screws are...

    I hope someone from Tesoro considers this....

    I fiddled with my Silver umax and accidentally dropped it and I guess you know the wiring caught on an object on the way to the floor:surrender: Well, I went to using my Compadre and Ace. Well, A few days ago I got to looking at my Royal Sabre in the corner, whose coil split a year ago.:nopity...

    Well, after putting the sniper coil back on...

    It STAYS!!! Do I hear an amen?? Sorry. Bad camera and light. Almost $20 and I small gold ring.

    Get a smile on my face every time.....

    I have some ID and tonal machines, but grabbing the Compadre and "snap" hunting still gives me a rush. Basically, it's ignoring blipsand broken signals and scooping up the snappers! A penny dropped on the ground and quickly swept gives an idea of a "snap" signal and a teeny piece of wadded up...

    Whoa!! What a piece of foil!!!

    Had a hard foil tone hit that ID'd at 12. Sad, sorta. Monday is our anniversary and today's the last time I get to hold it!:surrender: Beautiful butterfly with diamond in center, surrounded by 6 blue stones in a 14k setting!! Just recounted. FIVE blue stones!

    Are silver rings valuable??

    When I first saw what I found with my Ace, I wasn't that excited because the stones were too big. Then I saw .925 on the inside. Does it have value?

    Are silver rings valuable??

    This one blew my mind when I found it but I expected the worst whenever I saw the "gems"? They were just too big to be true! After checking it out, I saw .725 on the inside!! Any possible worth?? Love my Ace!
