    The contents of my pouch...well, sorta - -

    - - By now, everyone knows just how fascinated I remain with the things one finds with a detector. To me, even the trash is a story. I was cleaning up my possibles bag today, about to dump my trash for the week, when I had a thought (which happens so rarely that it's noteworthy by itself)...

    Non-Garrett junk-et...

    Some questions came up about the Tesoro Golden uMax, over on the ... well, elsewhere. You know me, by now - I hadda add my 2 cents worth (in my case, more like about 58 cents worth!) So, all that talk about the Golden meant only one thing: I had to take it out for a spin today, leaving the...

    AM scrounge at old house...

    [hr] ...didnt produce much, but a good time was had by all. 1951-D Wheatie and whirlygig, shotshells and odd cartridges were the lookie-stuff. [attachment 38257 DSCF0016.JPG]... Judging by the cases, which rung in hard between nickle and cent, I'd say the odd, bottleneck cartridges were .30...

    Plotting to get a Sea Hunter MkII...

    :shrug:...If all goes according to plan, I expect to get a NIB SH MKII soon. I would appreciate any tips, experiences, confessions testimonials, etc. on the use of this unit. Is it possible to discern iron targets after some practice? How useful is it in fresh lakes?

    Toothless, ugly broad...

    ...Here're two of my favorite finds from last season's efforts. The heads/tails coins are always fun to find, and I had never seen one before I found my first. This one was found directly before our towns Catholic Church, left out of the collection plate, apparently. Probably for the best. I've...

    Wall of sound...

    Just some of the many detectors that have passed through my gnarled hands. Currently, I am a devout Garrett and Tesoro man. [attachment 38181 DSCF0003.JPG] From Left to right thats a Tesoro Vaquero and Golden uMax, My trusty Ace (replete in bubble wrap rain cover) and my faithful friend, the...

    Busted the penny bank...

    ...I had an excellent time at the airbase penny bank this AM. I made a total of six stinkers and plenty of tabs and bitsies. I even found a 1/2" copper tubing end cap AND a 2.5' section of EMT conduit. Life is good. On the way home in the Treasure Wagon, I torched up a cheap cigar and popped a...

    Doodly squat...

    ... is what I got. I would gladly take Bills "piddlings" after a morning like this :biggrin: I visited the Airbase/jail after work for 50 minutes. Gleaned 6 SZ's/SL's and plenny tab-foil bitsies. Oh, and a big old iron washer. Eeehaha! :crazy: Hell, paddling a canoe with John in the arctic...

    50 coins missed...:clapping:

    Had plans this AM to hit an area of our soccer field that has recently been laid with new fill. Around here, fill can be a trove, so I always like to sample any topsoil fill that I spy. But, the Latinos were starting to show up for their weekly 'futbol' games, so that was out. My Spanish aint...

    Im curious about this one, Gene...

    ...Now you can get rid of some of the real small gum wrapper type foil by running in salt elimination. Yes, you do give up some depth but if you hunt sports fields, most targets aren't all that deep. Eliminate those small foil targets that are around 2" deep but still hit a gold ring that reads...

    The 1350 opens the penny bank a bit....

    ...The little patch of woods Ive been hitting lately gave up a bit more today. This is still the old airbase/jail site that Ive been working after well, work! As I've said before, it seems to be a big penny bank and that's what Ive been calling it. Today was no different. I found 8 cents and a...

    Quickie Junke-t with the 250...

    ... I stopped in at the airbase/jail woods today after work for a quick jaunt with the Yeller Feller. I like it 'cause its right where I get out of work, so it's on the way home. It's nice to take in the fresh air and do a little digging in the hour around dawn. I didnt turn up much, but here's...

    Another Tag-a-long hunt

    It's Saturday, folks. That, means it's "What Momma wants for dinner, momma gets for dinner," day. All week long she does kitchen duty at our house, so when the weekend rolls around, she cops a break. After a little thought, Lori decided whe wanted homemade pizza, so I went to it. Not only am I a...

    "Junk-et" and the 1350

    I toodled off for a little detecting this AM before Lori awoke. Being as she's a woman and all that, she likes to do "stuff," oddly enough. While I will merrily disappear all day to go detecting, once the chores are done, she wants to go for walks with the dogs or to street fairs or what have...
