    A pair of earrings....it was good just to get out!

    Haven't been out in a long time because of a busy schedule so it was great to break away and detect a local park. I detected one earring and because most of the time, you only find one and rarely a pair so I continued detecting and just about 2 feet away, the same target id and sound came...

    Finally upgrading to re-chargeable batteries!

    I'm 'old school' meaning I'm slow sometimes to get up to speed with some things so on my occasional trips to Costco, I would pick up a 40 pack of AA's for around $14 and change. After using many batteries over a long time, I figured it's time to get up to speed and get re-chargeables! So, the...

    Safari...intermittent battery connection solved.

    I share this info; just in case you might have the same problem sometime! On the last 2 metal detecting trips, when I would lay my Safari down on the ground to proceed to dig a target, it would just shut down for no reason. When I picked it up or moved it a bit, it would come back on again. I...

    14K ring found today! I love FBS sounds!

    Found this 14K ring today with my Safari!:clapping: It's small but it's gold with hopefully a small diamond.....got to get it tested. It displayed an I.D. of 12 and although I retrieved a good amount of pulltabs and assorted junk before I got this ring, the sound was a little different to the...

    14K Gold Christening ring?:smile:

    Just came back from a local park that has a sand lot where I detected this gold ring hiding in the sand! Not sure if it's a christening ring? I say that because it's a little on the small side and it's unmarked. I did put it to the acid test to make sure and it tested positive to be 14K. The...

    Yes, yes, yes!!.....no:cry:

    Wasn't wearing my glasses at the park today so this ring looked realllll good coming out of the hole, hey, it was a solid 22 and a steady signal with a 'gold' FBS sound and I thought they were tiny diamond chip's sparkling in the sun so I left the dirt plug in the inside and the dirt on the...

    Do You Have a Favorite Find?

    Things seems to be a little slow in regards to finding items of interest which personally for me is due to the really hot weather here in Southern California. I went out yesterday for about an hour and came back sweating and just plain uncomfortable. Although I found a bunch of coins and a few...

    A few days at the beach.....loosing my touch?

    Spent the last few days at the beach and came away with just a handful of finds. No gold, no silver this time:thumbdown:. I was still limping a bit from a badly twisted/sprained ankle so that's my excuse on this trip!!!LOL! I'm envious of those that are still finding gold and some silver and...

    1 Week Of Beach detecting:clapping:...South Carlsbad spots?

    The good news is my badly sprained ankle is finally almost 100% ok and I've planned to spend a week at the beach North of San Diego with family and friends. If anyone is on the Forum and has had experience detecting around South Carlsbad, San Elijo, Solana and Del Mar beach's, can you share...

    It could Have Been Gold!....A Short Hunt.......

    A less than 2 hour hunt in a park yeilded a cheap but pretty ring (which I will give to my sweet 6 year old grandaughter)! 2 flattened copper amusement park memento's, the remnants of a spoon or fork and a few clad coins. 3 week ago, I took a bad fall and sprained my ankle real bad so it took...

    Horse Buckle!

    This beaten up buckle was caked in dirt when I detected it about 3 inches down in a local park. I wondered what the heck it was before I removed the dirt! Metal detecting is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get!!!!

    Southern California detectorists take note!

    http://news.msn.com/us/california-beach-town-sees-flooding-from-hurricanel Southern California beaches are seeing the results of some storm action so this is an ideal time to hit the beach and stand a great chance of recovering some freshly uncovered deep gold and silver targets!!!

    A gold ring with an 9 ID?

    I have never detected a gold ring that I.D'ed at 9. For me, that is foil almost 99% of the time. I detect in A.M. most of the time, even in the trashiest spots because I don't want to miss any targets when my Safari nulls out when discriminating (even though I go low and slow) and I do not...

    Silver and Gold finds....When to sell?

    Just wanted to throw a question out to everyone here. Like most detectorists, I have some gold and silver rings/finds stashed away just waiting for precious metal prices to go up. These silver Eagle's (999 pure silver) are just a part of what I have waiting for the day when the prices go up. The...

    Happy Now!!

    I finally replaced my headphone wire on my Safari! I had visited a number of stores including Radio Shack (where I originally bought my extendable audio wire), I ended up at a dedicated electronics store that has been around for ever and they had just what I had been looking for, for only $7...

    Minelab Safari Question.....Can it be removed?

    I have a M.L. Safari and want to know if I can remove the actual head/box/housing for the electronics! not sure what it's called! I am not sure if it just slides off or if it's glued onto the shaft/handle? It's not coming off with exerting a little effort and I don't want to tweek or crack the...

    Just Shining My Silver Ring!

    When I was an antique dealer many, many years ago, there used to be slow days and that's when I used to shine the oxided and dull old brass candlesticks, beautifully old Victorian oil lamps which have brass fittings on them, tarnished Sterling silver and EPNS (electroplated nickel silver)...

    925 Silver ring, a plane and clad in 106 degrees!

    I braved the high temps because of a bad case of cabin fever......a crazy 106 degrees:drool: to swing for about 30 minutes. Hey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do...right! :crazy:That's all this old 63 year old could stand before I started wilting! I detected a spot where I had never...

    14K ring found....White gold ring yet to be found!

    Went into the 'trenches' today......the trenches being the area around the park benches/tables which are thickly carpeted with ring pulls. I swear there are $100's of dollars worth of aluminum to be collected there and waiting to be cashed in!!!! While I snagged the 14k ring, a man came over and...
