    Silver Finally - 3 Dimes

    Well, I won't post pics right now cause I'm too tired to get the camera out. Basically got 3 dimes Saturday evening and Sunday morning; 1944, 1947, 1953. The first two were 10 feet apart and found within 15 minutes. The last one was found at a different park the next morning. All were...

    Iron Mask 22 Observations

    I have been using Bryce' suggested settings with iron mask=22 turned on. The coins I am now finding are registering at the top of the smart find but more towards the iron range; say for instance 18 29 on the digital scale (ended up as wheat penny). If someone was hunting in the normal coin...

    Taking It Real Slow = Find More Stuff

    There is a lot more left in the ground than you may think. I decided to hunt for less than an hour before sunset this evening at a small park that we have been working for weeks now. All of the parks around me have been hit hard by the local detector club that meets once a month and has many...

    Explorer II for Cibola?

    Recently my hunting buddy sold his Explorer II with 10x12 SEF coil and bought a used Cibola. I have nothing against Tesoros and I am partial to the Vaquero. Anyway, this evening I located what I predicted to be a deep penny at roughly 10 inches with my Explorer SE. This was next to a piece of...

    Thanks Bryce-IL - These Settings Work Great!!!

    I am relatively new to the explorer. I have an SE with the 10x12 SEF; a great set-up. I have been somewhat frustrated though with one of my test garden quarters buried at 10 inches with some iron nearby. But tonight the problem is solved thanks to Bryce's' settings which I read in an older...

    High Ringers and Iron Mask Question

    Question, Today I had a deep high ringer signal that was very intermittent. I am not that proficient with all of the explorer features yet. I did scan the signal with the iron mask on and set to almost all metal. The signal was still ringing very high and was more consistent. Using the...

    WWII Aviator Observer Pin

    Found this today at an old school yard. Took me a while to find a reference but it appears to be a vintage sterling silver WWII aviator observer pin. It is about 2 inches and was issued to any flight crewmen aside from the pilot.

    12x10 SEF Coil On The Way

    I made a decision this evening to go ahead and purchase the 12x10 SEF Coil. My hunting partner who uses one has consistently picked up more silver than I have in the past few weeks including several rings and pre-64 dimes. Maybe this is just being in the right spot and my luck will not improve...

    Question On Rechargeable Batteries

    My original Minelab NiMH Battery pack is dying. In light of this, does it make more sense to buy a AA Alkaline rechargeable kit and use the Minelab AA battery pack or is it better to buy another Minelab NiMH battery pack? Just wondering what others have done. How long should the Minelab...

    SE 10" Slimline Coil vs Other Coil Options

    I have an Explorer SE with the 10" Slimline coil. A lot of folks are saying that the SEF or Minelab Pro coils are vastly better. Is this true? I seem to be doing OK with the old slimline coil and am torn over going through the trouble of upgrading. My buddy is running an Explorer II with the...

    Joined The Minelab Explorer Gang!

    I have never owned an Explorer so I have decided to try one since my detector buddy has been using one for years and finds more silver coins and jewelry than I do. So I made a trade with a local detectorist for his Explorer SE with 10" Slimline and 8" FBS Coils. So far I am very impressed with...

    The G2 and Urban Prospecting

    Today as I searched for bits of jewelry, etc. with the G2 I thought about prospecting and the phrase "gold is where you find it". Well for us "Urban Prospectors" gold is where you find it; volleyball courts, sports fields, the beach, anywhere people congregate and lose stuff. I have almost...

    G2 finds 14k Gold Ring

    Found my wife a ladies 14k gold ring in the volleyball court this afternoon. The ring is plain and ID'd slightly below nickel (56). So far I have found a silver men's ring and this gold ring with the G2 in the last week; not bad. And to think I almost got rid of this detector:)

    Sticking With The G2

    I have been agonizing over two detectors which I recently purchased used; Fisher F75 and Teknetics G2. The deal I made with my wife was that I could keep only one of them, at least for this year. Well after much consideration and input from the community on various issues, I have decided to...

    F75 and Small Jewelry Test - Slightly Frustrated

    I am not sure if EMI is the culprit here or if perhaps there is something wrong with the F75. I have tested the F75 on a small gold hoop earring of my wife's. In jewelry mode this earring is not picked up at all with the iron disc set to 15. If I lower the iron disc to say 6 the earring is...
