    A Thursday School Hunt instead of working

    Found a new school to hunt today. I had computer work to do, but one must get his priorities in order. Nothing exciting except that I found 2 rings, one a girl's silver ring and another ring, maybe gold but not marked on the band. A small braided silver earing. Hit a fair amount of clad some...

    Purchase the Ace 250 or 350 ? Need Input ...

    I want to purchase either the 250 or 350 for a backup for my MXT. I mostly will hunt parks, tot parks, beaches and do coin shooting , jewelry, but probably no gold nuggets and limited relic. Money is not a consideration in this purchase since the detectors are so close in price. Is the 350 a...

    Remember the skinny ugly character on Lord of the Rings that loved the ring? Anyway.... :cry: I saw a post on at a public tot park where a man lost his 14k wedding ring and was offering a reward so I called him and we eventually communicated. He was out with his kid and decided to do a few push...

    Hunting in C/J Mode

    I have been at this for about 5 mos and found a bit of stuff with this detector. I use the c/j mode exclusively and have tried the relic mode, but I cannot see the advantage of it. All I have is 2 tones and most of the time the items and area I hunt produce either coins or jewelry. I know a lot...

    Chucke Cheese Spill and Assorted Finds ...

    Haven't posted for awhile, but have been digging in the warm Florida sun. I hit a few "tot" parks, in fact cleaned a large one out last week of about 40 quarters and at least 75 dimes while surrounded by 2, 3 and 4 year olds. One kid shoved a pair of hand cuffs under the coil while I was digging...

He never detected and thought he would give it a try. I threw some batteries in the machine and off we went...

    Saturday Hunt at the Elementary School

    Went out today here in Jacksonville in the 95 degree heat to add to my coin count. Went through 2 shirts and 2 headbands but managed to dig up some clad and hit a nice 925 Silver Ring. It is the one in the picture just below the one eye green pin. Found 3 other rings of which 2 are plastic. Do...

The other cluster photos are rings that I have found in the past 4 months which is the extent of my metal detecting career. The one picture of...

    Waiting on the storm to come.....

    I couldn't get to the beach today.. too much work, so I decided to detect my own property. Found a $1.67 in clad, chunks of old buried iron and almost cut the cable wire underground with the lesche. Ran inside to check the internet and TV! Cable had a knife wound but not fatal.. Anyone ever do...

    Decided to clean the quarter, nickels, and dimes today ..

    I have been detecting for all of 4 months or so, but collected a nice bit of quarters, nickels and dimes. Not counting those numerous pennies in the other jar. I read on this site about using vinegar and salt. I do not know the proportions but took a simply lemonade jug and filled it with about...

    White's Audio 200 headphone.. how do they rate.

    I go this pair with my mxt like a lot of you guys out there and was wondering how they stack up as headphones go. They retail for about $60 at whites, but I see a lot of people using the bees and grey ghosts. Is there really a big difference in sound quality?

    Showing a penny in CJ mode and buckle in Relic Mode

    I hunt in CJ Mode most of the time. When I hit a strong signal for a penny in this mode I often check the find before digging using Relic mode. The signal comes back as a buckle. This means to me that the depth of the target is much deeper than the depth shown on the old mxt. So I dig the target...

    OK which is a better 2nd coil purchase 6x10 eclipse or 6x8 sef

    I have been using the stock 12" with my MXT for both beach and tot/parks. On the beach the 12 is great, but in other trashy areas or near steel poles or fences I need a better coil with good penetration and better close in work. Have been reading the remarks on the 6x10 Eclipse by white's and...
