    Old Whites...New Whites

    ...I have been detecting for 17 years and have used a lot of models, including Whites. But, I have never used a high end Whites, having last had a CIII SL, modified by Mr. Bill. I fancy another Whites for next year and I sort of have my eye on the MXT. I dont really get a sense of the unit from...

    What about the Golden Umax??...

    Had a nice couple days lately. Yesterday I had a long chat with my daughter, who lives in Columbia and my dad popped in borrow a rifle for some deer hunting this weekend. Then this morning, I jumped a nice buck of my own - right next to the recycling center! But, the better part of any day is...

    Fair results..?

    ...Had a nice couple days lately. Yesterday, a long chat with my daughter, who lives in Columbia - and my dad popped in to get a rifle for some deer hunting this weekend. Then this morning, I jumped a nice buck of my own. But, the better part of any day is DETECTING. So... I took a little swing...

    A comparison of the Ace 250 & Vaquero: Fair results for a few hours...

    ...went to the fairgrounds today to do a little more marking before the seasons obliterate signs of the fairs presence. while there I hauled out my Vaq, with the sniper coil and did a little bit of comparing, apples to oranges. Here's what I got - - 1. SENSITIVITY. I ran the Ace at half...

    Nice visit with a nice guy...

    ...no, not me. We all know better than that, eh! :beers: I was at the local fairgrounds today, doing a little recon. Having come behind the pullout of the county fair, I know now is the time to get the lay of the land. With about 5-7 acres, I needed to get a quickie map done up as to what was...

    Dibbydabs and the plan

    ...I hit the planned hunt trail today. After scrounging around the house for my cars keys, I finally got going. Of course I had my quart sized cup of coffee in hand. Two parks were hit and a hunt in each. Made 52 coins for the quota and a meager $3, + or -, worth of change. However, I'm...

    Tumbling dibbydabs...and a GOAL EXCEEDED!

    ...After years at this, I finally ponied up for a tumbler. Pretty cool and I gotta admit, I was wrong...the coins are much nicer than just rolled up all grubby and handed over. I ended up with one off of ebay and like a dummy, I could have gotten one new for $5 bucks less, if I would've gone to...

    Muse Impromptu and the dibbydabs...

    ...That post title sounds like something from Lewis Carrol, doesn't it? Lori had a job interview today in Coumbia (SC), soooo, since I am on a few days vacation, I tagged along. While she was attending her interview, I hit the treasure trail, as one might expectme to do. The Ace 250 and I...

    Experiment and dibby dabs...

    ...tried a little experiment today. I followed the same method that some of you folks advocate, in that I just left the house and went for a hunt-about. No rhyme nor reason, just drove where the Muses would have me go for a coupla hours. Here're the results: [attachment 39110 Dibbydabs.JPG]...

    Newcomer tips??? ...

    ... This was asked on another forum, somewhere in cyber space. After nearly two decades as a detectorist, here are the basics as I've leanred them - do with it what you will. "You want Tips for Newbies? Well, okay, if you insist: 1. DIG! You wont find anything and you wont learn what your...

    Tips for newbies - Elsewhere...

    ...on another forum I posted this. Do with it what you will: You want Tips for Newbies? Okay, if you insist: 1. Dig! You wont find anything and you wont learn what your machine is telling you or what it is doing if you don't. 2. DO NOT rely on that meter to solve your problems. There is A...

    Poser: How many of you......

    ...set goals like Les-Nova Scotia does? His is 50 coins per outing/day, or something along those lines. He gets some good results to show for it, to so I'm adopting that as a place to start, myself. Thanks, Les.:please: Do others do this? OR do you just go at it haphazardly, hoping for the best?

    Good news and bad news - A crybaby moment...:cry:

    I got a new work schedule, which bugs me - at least as a detectorist. I was working graveyards, which I disliked but at least it afforded me the chance to detect everyday. NOW, I am working M-Th, 7am-7pm. Its dark when I come in and dark when I leave! No detecting. :cry: The good news? It...

    Do have the Right Stuff??..

    ...Every treasure hunter needs "stuff" if he is to gather treasure, and I keep my stuff in a "possibles bag". My current bag contains the following items (CW from lower right): + 3 Plexiglas stakes for gridding - they are tied together with fibreglas reinforced tape so that when deployed they...

    Sea Hunter II for a good cost...

    ... this has come up and I am tempted. Let me just say that the street price divided by 2 and then reduced some more is what I can have this for. Oh, and its NIB! I know little of the unit, but imagine at that money, I cant be too choosy. My one question is - is there any way to discern iron...

    A few more GOLDEN thoughts... Tejon users DO NOT read...

    ... Just kidding. You Badger Swingers are welcome to follow along and snicker at us less-than-serious types, if you like. NOTE: This thread originated elsewhere and created a fire storm of debate, not all of it strictly civil. The Tejon lovers were irate:ranting: over the thought that the...

    Some Golden thoughts...

    .... Often enough, questions come up about the bastard child of the Tesoro line, the Golden. Mike Hillis is usually the only one with much to say about it (he is the one who convinced me...) and the questions normally go something like this, found recently in a little-noticed post on another...
