    Hey Chris! I finally read your article in May '10 Lost Treasure! Very well done!

    Very interesting to see the price of goods back in the day and the actual "value" of the coins when minted. Yeah, I've found old coins(18th & 19th century) with holes in them, but I didn't know it was for sewing into their close. Interesting.:wiggle: Really good read, if not one of the best...

    The Treasure Hunter's Handbook

    I finally got my copy of Andy Sabisch's new book The Treasure Hunter's Handbook. I must say that it has got to be the single best book on the subject of treasure hunting that I have ever read(and I'm a reader). It is not a "brand specific" book at all and covers everything from research and...

    Have you ever wondered what a million$ worth of gold looks like?

    I found this video browsing around youtube. I think I need to move down under. This makes my little crumbs that I've found in AZ look sooooooooo tiny. Yeah, just call me crummy, right? Enjoy the vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwdfsWW8KCs Happy Hunting!:smile:

    Blast from the past and had a blast! Beautiful day at the beach!:twodetecting:

    Got back from overseas last month and rummuged around through some of my old equipment that I keep in storage. Found an old 12.5" Crossfire Goldhunter for the Scorpion that I had forgotten about.

    Beach hunt yields the bling-bling:twodetecting:

    Beautiful morning at the beach yesterday. I finally got the 10"x14" mono search coil for my Infinium LS the other day and couldn't wait to try it out. Wifey joined me with her Ace 250 with sniper coil and she hit the towel line while I worked the shallow surf. I dug only high-low signals and...

Others found along towel line. All in dry sand. I'm amazed at the accuracy of depth reading. My 5" excellerator for...

    The good, the clad and the ugly.

    Not necessarily in that order. Hit a local area park at sunsrise on Sunday mornin' with wifey. They had a fireworks display there on Saturday night, so I figured we might have a chance at gettin' somethin' good. By the way, belated happy Independence Day. We both got about the same amount of...

    Another beach day & a little better luck:twodetecting:

    Hey Garrett gang! Went to the beach again today and had a little bit more luck than we did yesterday. I used the Infinium LS with 5"x10" coil and my honey joined along with Ace 250. Yeah, she always uses the sniper coil. Even on the beach. I've tried to get her to use a larger coil, but she says...
