    Hey Guys! Just got a new (to me) whites, and need tips!

    I just traded into a white's classic II SL, and am wondering if there are any secrets that I should know before hitting the fields. I currently use several bounty hunter units, and have recently started using a tesoro compadre, which is a beep and dig unit. Is the classic II going to be about...

    Got my compadre in today.

    Yep, the big brown truck dropped off my little compadre today. I opened it up, assembled it, and put a battery in. Ran right out to an old homesite at the end of my property that I just found, and went to work. I'd like to say that I found all sorts of coins, and I was one with the comadre...

    Ok guys, explain this to me. Too good to be true??

    http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/ele/1603279619.html No, I'm not the seller of this, and I really know nothing about the 1350, but is there even a snowball's chance that the price is correct without it being stolen?

    Finally!! Struck Wheat!

    After digging almost 600 coins, I think I found the right spot. Hunted for about an hour with my landstar, and found a 1917 wheat, a 1950-s wheat, a 1942 wheat, and a 1958-d wheat! Along with that, found 5 memorial and one recent dime. The area was the site of a long gone motel, and with all...

    Need some opinions from those who know!

    Guys, I'm looking at buying a compadre, and am looking for some opinions on the unit. I am relatively new to metal detecting, and my main interest is coin shooting. I have several bounty hunter detectors, but have heard lots of good things about the little compadre. Are there different tones...

    Legacy 3300?

    Guys, I have been trying to trade into a discovery 3300 for a while now, and am having no luck. Decided that I'd look for a deal on a new one, and notice that now there is a 'Legacy 3300' on the market. Other than the color, it looks the same as the discovery. Anybody have any info on the Legacy?

    Landstar on the chopping block! Anybody need one?

    I have a like new Bounty Hunter Land Star up for grabs. I traded into it, and I'm still liking my Discovery 2200 better. Anybody have a Discovery 3000 or 3300 that would prefer a LandStar? Email me at darren70@windstream.net if you have any interest or questions!

    Do different units "like" different coins??

    I have recently started hunting with my discovery 2200, and am noticing that the majority of the coins I am finding are dimes and quarters now. With my QD-II, I was getting mostly pennies, with the occasional dime or quarter. Now, with the 2200, I'm finding dimes 3-1 over pennies, and quarters...

    Bounty Hunter Pinpointer

    Anybody here had any experience with the bounty hunter pinpointer? I have been using one of the cheap cen-tec units, modified with a vibrator motor, and have been pretty pleased with it. Today I received my Automax V-4 pinpointer from Kellyco, and this thing is huge! I'm thinking about trying...

    Where's the wheat?

    Hey guys, I have been detecting for a few weeks now, and have been hunting mainly old schools. Unfortunately, the schools are still in use, so I'm finding lots of current coins. I have so far dug up 145 coins, and not the first one is even a wheat penny! How many coins did you guys have to go...

    Any interest in a Garrett Ace 250?

    Hey guys, I just purchased an Ace 250, and after using it twice, I think I'm a Bounty Hunter kinda guy. Would anybody be interested in trading this for a good BH? I have everything it came with, and have ordered the nylon all weather cover for it, although that hasn't arrived yet. Let me know...

    Any Civil War reenactors here?

    Dug 3 of these near an early 1800's church, then drove about 15 miles to the site of an old civil war era hospital, and dug 2 more! After the first 3, I figured there must have been some reenactors out doing their thing, but after finding them at the second site, I'm a little confused...

    I did a bad thing...

    Just to satisfy my curiosity, I went out and bought a Garrett Ace 250. I know, it's blasphemy! I have read all the hype, and had to see for myself. It does seem to be a much more sensitive detector than my quickdraw II. I was digging everything, just to see. Kept digging tiny pieces of...

    Free online Topo maps!

    Guys, I found this while digging around for old maps of my area. Most of you probably already know about it, but just in case someone doesn't, here's the link.: http://www.digital-topo-maps.com/ The topo maps, at least for my area, are much older than the standard maps, and structures are...

    Ok... I give up. HELP!!

    Well, I managed to get permission to hunt an old home site today, and had nothing but bad luck. The house was built in 1820, and was standing until the property was purchased and used as a cow pasture in the early 1970's. I went out, all excited, and hoping to find my first IH penny. Just as...

    Opinions on age of site??

    I have gotten permission to hunt this site, but probably won't be able to get there until the weekend. I did walk around it once, and there is a lot of roof tin on the ground, so it will be tricky. My 2 questions are, what should I expect to find here, if I do manage to find anything other...

    First real day hunting

    Well, I finally got a break in the weather and went out today. Didn't find anything interesting, but did find quite a bit of clad. There were a few hits that were a little confusing. Sweeping in one direction, they would show up as quarters, and 90 degrees to that, they showed up as zinc...
