    ran off

    I was ran off from a local elementary school last Friday....after the kids had all left for the weekend. The school cop was friendly, inquisitive about MD'ing and all. He apologized saying he was just doing what he was told.....that he really didn't see anything wrong......especially since I...

    Is this a good deal?

    Guys and gals, A local pawn shop has a Bounty Hunter Lone Star, with carry case and headphones for $119. I have seen prices above and below this price for just the unit......no case or headphones. The unit is used but is in excellent condition - or so they say. The pawn shop owner is a...

    My Pot Of Gold

    My Tracker IV hit on this at about 5" deep in sticky, gumbo clay dirt. I was working the area in my back yard where the clothe lines were originally located. The signal was not that of a coin, and I new there should not be any pull tabs around this area. But the signal was too strong not to...

    My Front Yard

    You know, sometimes your words come back to haunt you. I used to get mad at my boys for practicing their golf chipping in the yard. I didn't want the grass tore up. Now I have plugs all over my yard from me digging up things I find with my metal detector. :smile: Today I found 2 pull tabs...

    Homemade Long Arm Sand Scoop

    I made this to help me with my bad back while doing some dry sand searching. Obviously this will not work too well in wet sand......I believe it would snap the handle real quick. I still carry a small extendable handle shovel for when I need the strength of a deep dig. Merry Christmas to all...

    Bagging my unit

    Does anyone know why I couldn't use my unit bagged for the beach? I don't think it will overheat or anything.......am I wrong? Used it last week at the beach without it and spent a half-hour or so cleaning it up....ugh!!

    Chunk of Iron or Steel

    I found this about 6 or 7 inches deep in loose sand at the beach today. I have no idea what this is. It is triangular with rounded ends on at least 2 corners. The pictures are of each side. Any ideas?

    Beach Finds

    I worked the beach today and had a little luck. It appears if you need tent stakes, buy a metal detector and head to the beach!! LOL I found 2 quarters, 2 dimes. 1 nickel, 12 pennies. Not sure if any are vintage.....have not cleaned them up yet. Most of them I could read the dates and the...

    My Sand Scoop

    I want to go and to a little detecting at the beach tomorrow. I don't own, and have not ordered a sand scoop yet. And I didn't want to wait on a commercially manufactured scoop to arrive so I built my own......for a lot cheaper than the $19.99 plus shipping. 1) I went to Tractor Supply and...

    How deep is too deep?

    I worked a fairgrounds parking lot today. Nothing exciting, just $0.19; 1 dime, 1 nickel, 4 pennies....all recent clad. I had a few deeper "nearly dug 'em out" finds. But I didn't want to make too large of a hole. I had good solid tones, like for a quarter or something along that size. The...
