    Mexican silver, maybe??

    Found this today at 6" deep. It was completely black when I removed it, apparently in the ground for a while. It is sterling, maker's mark and .925 on inner band. I should have put something to give a better idea of size, the paper clip is one of the really big ones. The crude settings...

    In my own front yard!!!

    Got bored playing nurse today, so, I took the F75 into the front yard. I found three pennies, then, another penny target at about 3 inches. What the heck, dig it up......... I seriously doubt it is a diamond, but, I am going to have it checked....... One thing for sure, it is...

    F75 is amazing....

    At a heavily hunted park today, F75 in All Metal Motion, Sens 75, Thresh +1, GB 65. I hit a small spot with mixed signals, VDI jumping from foil to quarters, but, the signals sounded good. I reduced my swing to about 1" and rapid, then picked out what looked to be a dime. About 2 inches...

    Went back to All Metal Motion today.....

    I have been playing with shooter's settings of Disc. 65 and notch in nickels. This is just dandy if you KNOW all that is in front of you is clad and tabs. Nickels are still on the board, just in case a nice chunk of gold would like to sneak in there.....right! However, today I went to a...

    Hori Hori knife/digger

    My Chinese knock-off Lesche digging tool/knife was starting to bend when I would pry out a plug. Knowing it would not last very much longer, I went to the web to find a good deal on a Lesche digger. In the process, I spotted a Japanese Hori Hori knife (not Hari Kari, ) used for gardening...

    Get your blood pumping....!

    Went to my local soccer park this morning. The first target looked solid, so, I dug a plug and pulled it. Ran the ol' F75 over the plug......nada........over the hole.....solid target! I dug a little more and put the Garrett in the hole.....I'm close!! Moved a little dirt and in the...

    Second silver ring.....good day!

    Spent three productive hours at a soccer field today. Wish I could have stayed longer, but, duty called. I hit on a quarter target and came up with a really pretty silver ring. The maker's mark is three arrows pointing up with "925" below, maybe you can see it in the pic. There is also...

    Tore them up today!!!

    Hunted an old 1800's home site that must have been hit a bazillion times before.........nothing left. After a little bit, I did get a target, a quarter that sounded great. Turned out to be a small rouge tin.....moist rouge #3...the good stuff!, I'm sure. Then came the brass snap hook, it is...

    My first sword and 4 hours take.......

    Went to the same old soccer park today and tried "shooter's" settings: Disc 65, notch in nickels, but, instead of Tones 2F, I used Tones 3 (so nickels would be lower). Since I had been over this area 3 or 4 times, I wasn't expecting much. But, I found my first sword!......... A real...

    EMI cure, redux and Garrett PP interference...

    Just curious why the thread "EMI cure for the F series" had been closed?? We didn't see the results of people changing thier frequencies, nor, did we get to see the results of the gentleman that was having an EMI shielded pouch made for his Garrett Pro Pointer. I wanted to add that I have...

    Pushing the Settings knob.....??

    Quite by accident today, I found that pushing the Settings knob will display the current setting for the last selection made. For example, if the "dot" is next to Sensitivity and you push the Settings knob, the display will show the current setting for Sensitivity without going through the...

    Quarter day at the soccer field......

    Back to the soccer field this morning. Hunted the perimeter on two sides of one field (they don't allow any digging on the field regardless of how "surgical" you may be). I was rewarded with 12 quarters, five nickels (I love finding nickels), 11 dimes and 5 pennies. I usually come back with...

    5 hours, 55 coins, one 11" quarter

    Hit a soccer park this morning, before it got hot. Spent 5 hours and dug 55 coins.........10 quarters, 30 pennies, 6 nickels and 9 dimes. I thought I had found two silver dimes, but, nay, they were just shiny.......odd for being 5" deep. The only amazing part of the day was a quarter...

    Older than me........not.

    Found a very small park with a tot lot, abandoned volley ball poles (no net), a few picnic tables and a tennis court. It is a block long and about 300' wide. It took me 5 1/2 hrs. to make four round trips from end to end (the block length). I got 88 coins........53 pennies (yeah, I dig zinc...

    Couldn't manually Ground Balance

    Went to a very old park today. It has been quite dry here for a while. The soil in the park is iron ore (red) clay and it was hard as concrete. I was using AM motion mode, but, could not GB! From 0 - 99 I got a negative indication.....like pulling a tone out of the ground, got a tone on...

    Pro Pointer battery questions.........

    I asked these in the Garrett users forum, but, since many of you use the Pro Pointer with the F-series locators, I thought I would toss them out here, too. What would be the expected lifespan of an alkaline battery in the Pro Pointer? (I know it would depend on how often used and for how long...

    Battery life expectancy on Pro Pointer..??

    Hi All, Did a number of searches and found nothing on the subject. I just got my Pro Pointer and was curious about the expected lifespan of an alkaline battery? Basically, do I need to carry a spare with me on an all day hunt? (I know it depends on how often it is used, but, just a...

    More cleaning questions......

    Scooter, here's another good laugh for you...........I did another cleaning last night, silver in one drum and pennies in the other, or, so I thought. I missed one penny amongst the quarters, nickels and dimes. They are all now a beautiful copper color.......except for size, they all look...

    SEF coil for F75, worth the $$$?

    A search turned up nothing regarding an SEF coil for the F75. What I could find on the net had some conflicting information. Has anyone here used an SEF coil and, if so, what are your impressions? Better depth? Better ID? Not worth the $$$?

    Disappearing VDI on standard F75

    This may be normal and not a problem, but, I have noticed on a number of occasions and usually in a pretty clear location, I can swing my machine and there will be NO VDI display, during this time I can here an occasional tone signal (nothing loud). When this happens, I can just swing a little...
