    It took 23 hunts in 2011 but finally....

    I had my first negative encounter with a spectator. The weather has been so bad recently that when I was finally able to get out I went for it. Parks were all crowded as everybody must have cabin fever to some degree. I had lots of kids "helping" me all day long. It was quite fun until the...

    Saturday Hunt

    Last week I decided to send my AT-Pro back to Garrett to be fixed. It would not save settings in custom mode when shut off, nor did performing a factory reset actually reset anything. I called them up and the rep said almost immediately to send it back and that there had been several software...

    First May Hunt

    I got to do something today that I haven't done in a very long time. Detect a brand new site! I always enjoy doing that, or so I remember. Weather was not cooperative. The temp was swinging wildly as it rained one minute, bright sun the next. Gale winds to dead calm. (There were some kite...

    Friday/Saturday

    Friday. 3 hours. Close to home. Junk ring. Nothing too great. [attachment 196769 042911-1.JPG] Saturday. 4.5 hours. Road trip. Silver dime and assorted bibs and bobs. [attachment 196770 043011-1.JPG] 298 coins total WITH my Pro-Pointer this time. Too tired to write more. Chris

    Easter Morning Hunt

    Easter might be the only holiday left in my I always detect on this holiday streak. I think I missed Thanksgiving last year when my back was out. Anyway, forecast was for rain. I went out anyway. Had to charge batteries before I left which seemed to take a long time. I got on the road...

    Bill, you mean I can toss out my paper towel?

    Glad you're back, Bill. The place ain't the same without you. I'm O Positive if you need more. I haven't been out in ages. Too rainy. Went out today and got soaked, and muddy as all get out. Here's the only cool dig of the day, something I've never found. I'll spare you the photo of the...

    Long Hunt. Long Post.

    I did my favorite hunt which is a huge 150 mile drive in almost a perfect circle. Along the way are around 20 good spots to treasure hunt. Today was the first time I made the journey where my clad finds didn't cover the cost of gas. Only because of gas prices, which you probably figured out...

    Monster clad hunt with AT-Pro.

    Off to a new park. 25 years old so no hope for old stuff. I just wanted to put some clad in the bank, anyway. Swung for 3 hours and found 142 (80 pennies) coins which is plenty for that amount of time. Not many nickels today for some reason. I was digging all signals. Experimented with Pro...

    It's getting better all the time.....

    Second hunt AT-Pro. I purposely did not read many AT-Pro posts over the winter. Why? Because I didn't want to buy one until spring. Last night I read a bunch. One theme that keeps coming up. The more I swing it the more impressed I become. Let me add my thoughts. The more I swing it the...

    First hunt with AT-Pro.

    Well my GTI isn't speaking to me any more. It did utter a few choice words to me as I walked out the door without her but I won't repeat them here! I headed to a favorite site of mine where I hit silver coins from time to time. Swung the AT-Pro for 3.25 hours in standard mode, all notches...

    AT-Pro Nub here. One dumb question.

    This is my forth Garrett detector purchase. Every other detector has had a DVD to watch. Should there have been one included with mine? Too rainy and cold to go out but tomorrow should be fine. I can't wait. A few air tests I did show some pretty good depth although I put no stock in air...

    Finally spent some MD swag.

    In November 2009 I did something I rarely do. I spent some MD money. In 2010 I put it all in the bank and vowed not to spend any until I had 5 grand in my account again. March clad finds put me over 5 grand so I bought an AT-Pro! Supposed to be here tomorrow and sadly we are supposed to get...

    Chugging along.

    I set out today with two goals in mind. At least 100 coins, and at least 10 bucks in clad. I stopped to empty the pencil pieces out of my pocket toward the end of the hunt, at least 25 of them, and counted coins. 63 coins and 13 quarters. 13 quarters is the theme of 2011 for me thus far. I...

    Saturday shorty.

    Just an hour and a half today. I had an all clad hunt on Thursday that I didn't post as it was too boring. Today I found a cool religious medal of some sort that I will research. Also the first silver ring of the year. Tiny, marked sterling, with an interesting blue stone. Pretty ring...

    Need help with Ottoman Empire (Arabic) coin.

    I'm about 95% sure it's Ottoman Empire. Size is 18mm but very worn as you can see. Probably silver. Weight around 1.8 grams but again very worn and holed so it weighed a lot more when it was minted. Any help at all would be grand! Chris

    Is it gold or isn't it?

    I'll save you some reading. It isn't. Ring was a bit of nitro. All I saw was the 18K at first. When I cleaned it off a little I saw 18K HGE. Too bad. The little heart pendant looked a lot like gold too. Spotted the 14K. Was terribly excited until I got home. Then I spotted 14K GF...

    Saturday fun!

    I'll begin by cursing the weather man. Partly sunny and mid fifties must mean something else to him. I had to work at two so out for a few hours before. Temp never did get above 45 nor did the sun peek out from behind the clouds. I did leave my 2500 in my truck just in case I felt like a...

    First Outing 2011

    I have not even peeked into the forum in ages. About a month ago, I found an old issue of "The Searcher" in my briefcase and began to read it. It got me pretty depressed. It felt like spring would never arrive, and that I would never find anything ever again. Naturally I found other things...

    Some more 2010 finds.

    Wheats. Some went into my book in the wheat section. Maybe 12-15. Total was 176 wheats. [attachment 184201 2010Wheats.JPG] Silver jewelry. 156,200 mg of sterling. Sounds like a lot written like that. I started out gang busters with silver and it really tapered off. In fact, I only found...

    Some 2010 Totals

    Spent a lazy Sunday sorting some 2010 finds. I still have junk jewelry, silver jewelry, and relics to look over. Clad is all tumbled, and banked. FWIW, I missed bettering 2009 totals by around 25 bucks. I found a lot less in 2010, but silver and gold prices were so high it all equaled out in...
