    I'll be darned

    Today I spent an hour or so gathering buried pull tabs. In the past 90 days, I have collected enough aluminum to build the better part of a 747's tail section. Have any of you ever wondered how nice MDing would be if drinks never were packaged in cans? Well, I got a good signal, dug the plug...

    Why the Tracker IV?

    It seem like on this web site, BH has more stories about the Tracker IV finding items than any other in its line. Is that because BH sells more Tracker IV models than any other? Mark Elite 2200

    Defective BH Elite 2200

    Twice today my Elite 2200 indicated that there was a quarter present and twice it was wrong. These are what was found instead of money. Geeezzz! Mark Elite 2200

    Old people

    No, I haven't modified my Elite 2200 to find old people. What I learned is that sometimes old people are aware of where revival meetings used to be held, where old one room school houses used to be prior to the building of larger modern schools and the busing of kids to them. They know where old...

    Why dig zinc

    Why dig zinc? Do any worthwhile targets ever show up as zinc on a BH machine? If all a person gets from digging zinc is a highly corroded penny that needs to be cleaned and tumbled, that penny is totally unworthy of being dug as far as I am concerned. I no longer pay any attention to zinc. Am...

    Harbor Freight pin pointer

    When I first read of the modification to the HF pp, I didn't understand why the vibration feature was added. I then read the statute in Washington State that says that people using MDs in state parks must not emit any audible sounds that may bother others using the park. OK, now I get it. On...

    An observation

    Those of us on the west coast are at a huge disadvantage as compared to those on the east coast of the USA. I live in Washington State, and this region was one of the last areas in the lower 48 states to be infiltrated by metal bearing people... those of European decent who brought with them...

    Just one or two per year.

    If I could find something like this just once or twice per year, I would be happy. I guess I should"dig all." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b_klOB8cro Mark Elite 2200

    Bounty Hunters in other countries

    My BH Elite has specific coin names incorporated onto the display panel. When BH sells their machines to other countries, does it change the calibrations and designations to that country's coinage? Like Franks, or Marks, or Rupees etc, or do people in those countries have to learn to convert and...

    Found clad and zinc pennies

    OK, so now that I have found all this highly corroded money, what do I do with it? Some of the zinc pennies don't resemble pennies any longer, having large pieces missing and bubbled surfaces etc. Most of the clad is very dark and not obviously recognizable as money. Some of the dimes are very...

    BH Prospector model

    There is a used BH Prospector on Craig's list for $25. Is that a decent machine? Do any of you have any experience with the Prospector? I notice that it has a solid coil, not two concentric coils. At least that is what the coil cover looks like. What's the word? Mark Elite 2200

    Battery power.

    When my Elite has new batteries, there are four segments, perhaps five, showing on the battery strength meter. I have operated the unit with only two segments showing, but am not too sure as to how deep the transmitted signals are going. At two segments, sometimes the unit starts spazzing out...

    What is the strangest thing you have found?

    I found the fuel pump that was supposed to be a silver dollar.:confused: I also found several underground sprinkler systems and last week I found an underground communications network. What is the strangest thing you folks have found? Weapons? Hand grenades? Hypodermic needles? (ouch) Body...

    Iron discrimination

    I see that several of the higher end BH have three levels of iron discrimination. What is that and how does it work? Thanks Mark Elite 2200

    10k 14k 18k and 22k

    Men's gold rings in the USA are generally 10 k gold. That is because it is harder and it is assumed that men work with their hands and subject a ring to more abuse etc. Women's rings in the USA are generally 14k but in other countries, the gold can be a high as 22k in jewelry. My question is...

    Bread crumbs, string, golf tees or gps?

    I have been "working" a local park and decided that it must have rained coins there at one time. Anyway, there are three adjoining baseball fields so there is a bit of acreage to cover. What methods do you folks use to establish an overlapping set of columns or rows to walk? In other words, do...

    Best time of year to hunt

    Around the Puget Sound area of Washington State, there is much brush and undergrowth. Even in areas with just grass, in the spring through late fall, the grass is so high that swinging a MD is almost impossible. It seems to me that late winter or early spring, after any snow has pressed down the...

    Log book

    I am going to carry a small log book with me when I go MDing. When I detect a target I want to dig, I am going to document the indicated depth and type of target indicated as well as if the tone was constant from different angles etc. prior to digging. Once I dig the target and determine how...

    Searching in water

    There is a small lake near my home that used to have a sawmill on it. I can wade out perhaps 40' and the water is perhaps 40" deep. Have any of you ever disconnected the control box from your BH MD and used the coil in 40" + deep water? I want to search the shallow parts of the lake but want to...
