    I thought this was a piece of a bracelet-Not sure after a closer look.

    The barrels of rolled metal are evernly spaced from end to end.The 4 middle are the same with the end 2 sequently shorter.So I think I got most of whatever it was. I scanned the hole in all metal for a while after finding it. Had at least 10 nails in the hole & a 30's snap button. The sight...

    I know just enough about ballistics to know this is a disturbing find....

    Right on top of the ground about 10 yards from a basketball court at a middleschool. The bullet tells a story about how dangerous it is to fire a bullet into the air. Lord only knows who fired it & where or why...But it is certainly a "fallen" bullet. And it fell with more than enough force to...

    Cast (bronze) Indian...Clock holder??

    Found this at an old homesite....It was fairly deep under a root. It is cast & likely bronze-very heavy.There are remnants of gilding & the hole has gilding where something went inside. I'm guessing a small clock but the hole itself is not true round. And sadly not a mark/name on it. Anyone see...

    4" coil is really a usefull tool...Snagged hidden wheat

    Nothing special on the coin -just another wheat.Also a clad dime & a small copper washer. But they were in hiding under a shade tree I've scoured with well-everything I own. Tesoro's,large & smaller (7")coils. My 3300 with the larger coil & my Tracker 4 with a 7". I was using the 3300 and chose...

    I passed the "nail test-Small silver ring under large nail!...Silver u-max w/7" coil

    Not a bad score for this park-especially the area I was in-very hunted by me & others. What kept this one a secret for so long wasn't depth-it was only an inch or so under. But after I pulled the ring out the propointer still was busy so I kept looking. I pulled out the large nail. The nail was...

    Another "pair" for the experts here...Found at seperate locations

    One I found today at the same park as the other items I posted here-the other I found months ago on the Columbia River shoreline near PDX. They are the same item but from diffrent makers. I googled iron rope spike and a few other terms that seemed right. No match or ID...I assume it's driven...

    Any Axe experts out there? I would like to see how old this one is...Thanks!

    It's in really nice shape-heck it would probably do service today after a cleanup...But i think this is an old one-am I righT?.. Thanks..

    Nicely made & I found a pair of them...But I have not a clue as to what it is....

    These are from a old park that has a history going back to 1870's...and they were rather deep . I found the 1st one & then my next target about 5 fett away was the matching mirror image-a left & right. I know they were mounted to leather as there is remnants of some on one of the brads-I'm...

    BH Tracker IV modified for rainy PNW...off to a good start....

    After reading praises about this little machine designed by George Payne I waited till a sale came up at Big 5 & purchased one. After re-setting the ground balance for our hot rocks/soil I really started to like the machine. Very fast & tone ID that is very descriptive-. In re-setting the ground...

    My rainy day detector...can you guess what it is?

    Of course it's cheap & only splash proof/hose down Ok so far...And I built it with crazy glue & a sheet of clear plastic-scored it using a ruler & a knife-very rudimentary. Dremel the holes & move a few things around. No speaker holes & the headphone jack is plugged & sealed with an adaptor. The...

    6 rings in 2 days!!...Wish more of them were silver or gold...But I found a rare one IMHO....

    A Baby ring of all things ferheavensake... But my luck with the Discovery 3300 w/ 10 1/4" coil has been very good as of late-and I did get a small gold/diamond ring the week before... But 2 yesterday & 4 today...The only "real" one is the small silver ring-Marked Sterling with an older...

    Not to get repetetive here but....4 rings today-Gotta love that!

    Sadly none are the "real deal" 2 junkers, a stainless & a nice costume thats not marked but shows some silver under the gold so I doubt its anything. I did get another 1st-A single piece of a real Police handcuff! I haven't a clue but it wasn't a great neighborhood. It was an elementary...

    2 rings & a gold(colored) chain...3300 strikes again!

    Another day of beepin & here's the results... The chain was one of the 1st targets-too bad its not real. Then a few targets later I got the nice small silver/torqouise ring. But then I got a first-for me anyhow...A Baby ring... Frankly I don't get why people would bling thier baby but this one...

    :detecting:Discovery 3300 w/ 10 1/4" coil nails another ring!

    I was beeping yet another "cleaned out" park-I keep saying I know it's clean cuz I cleaned it!. Tough place actually,it has a history going as far back as it gets for this area. And lots & lots of older pulltabs,rusty bottlecaps,and also a huge amount of ammo casings & headstamps. The silver is...

    BH 3300 snagged a nice old token & last weeks silver....

    Howdy! Wasn't out too much-rain wind & duties limited me to a couple of short hunts last week & I got 3 hours of digging in this morning before the stuporbowl. The silver dime was shallow & under a tree on a roadside pullout. But it was an older road & it is now a bypass-and there was a house...

    Compass Coin Scanner Pro 2 Red/Gold label

    Very clean unit in good working condition. I snagged this from the origional owner & really hate to let it go-these are rare & have a well earned reputation.Sudden financial issue forced sale so no trades please. I can see some very minor cosmetic issues-but the battery holders are pristine &...

    Mad Bad Mud Machine...Because it rains a lot here

    I am happy as a clam with this setup & wanted to share. No snarking on the 3300,I may have a hot one on my hands-you know built on Wednesday with the boss looking as I've heard lore of. But after I added the 10.25 coil it really came to life. Or I began to understand it. Long story short I...

    Discovery 3300 does it again-Gold ring !

    Happy as a you know what you know where... I just worked a very large park in urban Portland Oregon. Heavy trash area/sidelines right where I parked. 2nd target no less... I also scored a nice old jeep about 10" down on the sideline curb. A small batch of coins to round it out. The chain was...

    Discovery 3300 w/ 10 1/4" coil-Can it find gold??You betcha!!

    I figured this beauty deserved it's own thread. Just got home from a short hunt at a local school play area. Hunted it before-it's trashy in the play area as typical & I was running my normal disc pattern accepting nickles & tabs with screw caps & zincs disc'd out. I got a nice solid nickle...

    Discovery 3300 is now in Hyper Drive...Shocked I tells ya!!

    I recently ordered a 10" coil for my Discovery 3300. I used a well known retailer not an advertiser but I had to make an X-mas order so... I got the coil last week but I've had a chest cold & didn't have strength to get out till the last 2 days. It is amazing compared to the 8"... I can now...
