    Hey Bryce...question on your headphones...

    I know good headphones can make a world of difference when using your detector. I've spent some big $$ over the years trying out several types. For example, I got some Grey Ghost's and my ears just don't like the tone. Are you happy with your Sunrays? I know its a crap shoot, but I'm about...

    Observed something interesting!

    Friday, one of my hunting buddies called and we decided to 'get out of Dodge' and do some detecting. Didn't really want to drive a long way, so I suggested a site that another friend and I hit last year. At that time, I found a standing lib qtr and a few Mercs, along with a handful of wheats...

    Question on Pinpointing....!

    The good news is, I finally scored a Barber quarter (7in deep) after a very long dry spell for silver. We have WAY too many good hunters in this neck of the woods, and even deep coins are hard to come by. The 1892 quarter was found in a trashy area of an old park, and though I did my best to...

    tight discriminate pattern experiment...

    I'm hesitant to ask this to many who favor all metal searching or something close to it, but here goes... Back in the day with the old analog machines, when we were confronted with super trashy areas that we knew held good coins, we cranked up the discrimination quite a bit and sometimes even...

    Deep signal cursor movement question...

    I'm using Bryce's settings on my SE. IM 22, sens auto 26, and the 12 " excelerator coil. Today I finally got out to hunt a bit and I chose a heavily hunted park in a nearby town. I figured there had to be some really deep ones left. Well, picken's were pretty darn slim, unless you count...

    I sincerely wish that someone else had...

    ...found this! My ego is fragile enough as it is, and now my favorite past time mocks me! Imagine looking into a nice deep plug, seeing a glint of what looks like gold, brushing off the dirt and finding this!!! I'm afraid I'm stuck with it, too. Can't you just see the ad in the lost and...

    Bryce's settings very effective!

    Hit a local park complex tonight for just an hour or so. This park has been hit so hard that it was considered 'worked out' by the late 70's. Anyway, I have a good memory of the way things were back in the 50's so concentrated my searching in a small area that I thought might give me a...

    Anyone know where to buy these? Thanks, Knipper

    Hey Bryce....

    Hope you don't mind me asking, but is your S.E.F. coil behaving like you want it to with the same settings as the 10x14 Excelerator? I tried your suggestions, and though I really haven't found a good site to test it on, I did notice that it really bangs on coins and has terrific separation...

    Having the forum down was like...

    having my best hunting site go off limits! Thanks for all the hard work in getting this back on line. I started to wonder if something more dire than server problems was at play, as another forum's Minelab component also disappeared about the same time. Anyway, good to see all are back...

    Met a member!

    Its not every day that you can meet someone on the forum face to face. Last weekend I was down in Janesville WI for a knife show and had told Chris from SoCentral Wis. to drop in if he was in the area. Well he did and we had a nice chat before I had to get back to my table. Great guy... He...

    Confidence restored

    Though its still been a very slow year, I got out today and searched an old haunt that I haven't visited in at least 15 years. Great digging conditions with nice black dirt under the sod going down who knows how deep, and not very dry. Anyway, since this is an old site that was hunted well over...

    Very slow year for me!!!

    All I can say is WOW, when I look at the the quantity and quality of the finds that hunters such as James N.D. has produced! Excellent stuff! My efforts have been pretty futile this year. After I got my SE early this year, I and my hunting partner, who has an XS and an SE, have been hitting...

    Uh Oh...machine going to the hospital....

    Haven't read about these symptoms on the forum yet... When turning on the machine (so that the last settings come up) the detector has started to really give off some erratic signals. High and low tones in a staccato beat that used to only last a few seconds, but now, in manual sensitivity...

    Finally....the wait is over!

    I've never really viewed a detector as truly "mine" until I recover a nice old coin with it. That finally happened yesterday at a heavily hunted school yard in a nearby small town. I was searching in IM all metal, sens manual, 25, variability 10, vol 10, gain 8, Ferrous sounds, deep mode with...

    New Coiltek platypus coil? 8.5 X 11.5?

    Goldenroyboy posted that there was a new coil in Coiltek's lineup a while back. I saw a picture of it on one site and it looks to be a perfect size, and is advertised as waterproof. Anyone try one yet? If its more stable than the stock coil, and would at least equal the depth, I'd be up for...

    Still learning in all metal!

    Took the SE out for a few hours tonight to an old county park that saw a lot of activity, going back as far as the late 1850's. No large cents have ever been found there, but there have been seated and Indian head finds as well as Barber silver in the past. Typical for this area, its been...

    Excellator 12 in coil arrived today...

    I took the coil over to a well worked out park just to hear it work. I had hopes but didn't expect too much as I only had an hour. I knew it would be trashy, but stayed in Iron Mask, AM. The first thing I noticed was how stable the coil was compared to the 10" stock coil! (I'm going to have...

    First try at All metal hunting with the SE... long

    After all the posts by those whom I consider to be very accomplished and expert detector operators, I had to try the all-metal settings today. For my site, I picked an old (for this area) fairgrounds that has beautiful grass and nice black dirt all the way down. Its a large area, so though its...

    Something to watch for...

    Was checking out the yard of a recently torn down house yesterday. Unfortunately, the 'deconstruction' guys basically turned the yard inside out, so finds that were 8-10 inches are now down 3-4 feet! But I learned something... There were a few large dirt piles from the foundation that I...
