    Old Oak tree...Had to check it out. My 1st old(er) nickel

    Just going to a soccer field area when I saw an old oak tree that was standing proud & definitely an old tree. Started beeping the bleacher area by the field but was drawn to its wide boughs & made my way toward it. I was using a Troy X2 with an external GB mod-very effective machine IMHO. I...

    Ok-what language is this??? Token?

    Anime version of Japanese???.Both sides are the same.What it was doing in a Oregon soccer field is likely another mystery but I'll just guess it was a lucky piece that was dropped. It got hit by the mower-I find a lot of coins like that.But I haven't seen anything like this-anyone?. Thanks, Carl.

    ROBBED at the river...Someone stole my backpack while I was wading

    And of course it had my wallet,ID keys etc... And if you see a cheap deal on a 5.75 Tesoro 5 pin coil on Craigs that would be mine likely. Also got a pinpointer,set of headphones & 2 yummy sandwiches. Wife came by with a spare set of keys so I could drive home. I had a steering lock on but had...

    Hiding under a (mineralized) rock....Silver Vs. Gold

    Just as a test I used one of the hot rocks I dug from my lawn to hide a ring behind & do an air test. I use a Tesoro Silver & have a very rocky beach to search. Since I had some iffy signals get better after moving some rocks.I figured there might be some masking going on. Most of the rock...

    I'm really happy with the hunt today-Another "Diamond" stud(CZ)

    Now I know y'all may have trouble believing it-but this is exactly what I was looking for. Just this one wasn't real. I was looking for itty bitty targets on a sand/stone beach that sees a lot of use but is also heavilly detected. My machine is a Silver U-max,with an added GB adjustor. I run...

    My 1st trip to a salt water beach...Issues & the solution for me..

    I think I can see why people use entirely diffrent machines for the surf. My 1st trip in eons to the beach. Seaside Oregon & as most of you know we have a lot of minerals around here. I was using a Tesoro Silver U-max, 12 x 10 coencentric coil. I have externally adjustable GB modification so...

    :bouncy:Reading a Gold bug thread I picked up a new technique..It works BTW:tesoro:

    I have a Tesoro Silver & hunt in Oregon near the Columbia river. There are a few freshwater beaches here but they are very well hunted. The spot I went to today on my last visit I found some coins in out of the way places. But it was obvious it had been hunted.The beach is very hot (black sand &...

    Omega 4000 at the store-defective from the box

    I went to a local retailer & they had this unit. I asked to do a test on it & he said fine but he had no 9V batteris.Of course I have some spares in the car so I grabbed them from my car & carefully opened the box. The unit looked new & the packaging did not appear to be opened before me. But...

    Last 2 days have been Diamond days...If only they were real.

    The 1st find was the earings-good quality mounts & I had to take them to a jewler-Nope, glass or CZ. Then today I found this in 3 pieces...Paste or whatever they have foil backs. But if these suckers were genuine!!! Yowza... Tesoro Silver U-max with a GB mod running a 10 x 12 coil has been...

    This one has me stumped. -Folding copper plates w/ rivits

    These fold together. thats ho I found it in the ground. Also found a 1918 wheat at the site. I got them to open a little but I overdid & hence the break at the hinge. But I have no clue what this would be used for. Took time to make it so it does something...

    Another great day with my silver...Found this eye popper

    I also found another ring-junk. But then I found these linked together. Took them to a jewler & nope-I was really hoping but they are CZ or glass. Not honking huge diamonds but I'll keep trying!

    2nd GOLD ring. Silver w/ GB mod & 10 x 12 coil

    Yowza! A trip to a very hunted socker field payed off. I saw a guy detecting the area a few weeks back & talked for a while. I bet he was silver surfing as he left behind 7 nickles a handfull of poptabs-not a clad or copper except for a 7" dime. But he also missed this!

    Type A detector advice...Gotta be fast/deep

    And of course its gotta find stuff in hunted out parks... Ok back to reality. I bought a BH 505 & was Ok with it...Till I tried a Tesoro. I could take the BH out for a spin trying to use the tone ID etc...But compared to the Silver its a slug on target ID/ recovery speed. Also the seperation is...

    Finding a lot more rings nowadays...Silver & Troy x2

    Getting used to running very low discrimination-Lotta digging but waaay more "finds". Finally scored a Gold ring & gave it to my wife. But since -They have all been trash.Mood rings that lost the mood & trinket ones from India...But 5 rings in one week from the same park?. Well thats a record...

    Silver strikes Gold (+ 4 small diamonds ta boot!) Happy Fathers Day to ME!

    It's my 1st GOLD ring. Marked 14K on the setting-which is hollow?. I guess its worth the effort to save on gold. Nicely made & the 4 small diamonds I believe were just a sight for sore eyes when I dug it out this morning. I'm sure you know how many pull tabs this represents in a park...
