    Ground balance modded my Silver U-max-some details for the very brave

    I have very little electronic experience. But I have tinkered for years & have a decent multi meter & soldering tools. I have a Silver that works well for me-very light & I have a good coil selection started. Problem is here in Oregon we have a ton of hot rocks & I have to watch pushing the...

    I have to watch myself-this hobby leads to distracted driving!

    No accidents mind you but I have caught myself gazing at potential turf far too often when driving as of late. Not a good habit so I'm trying to remind myself to watch the road & pull over if I need a closer look. I'm sure I'm not the only one...

    Got 2 more rings today w/ new Troy X2-rounded 'em all up for a pic...

    Had a bad day with coins & nothing old...But you can't complain about 2 rings!. I found all but one w/ Tesoro's. The turquoise & the small thin ring both appear to be old/handmade. Came from an 1880's home site. The knurled one is a mystery metal-Platinum?.But not marked so I doubt it. But...

    Couldn't resist a classic-Troy X2 w/ 10" coil

    This is the last detector I'm going to buy... Really!! No-seriously! But I can see how one can "acquire" a closet full of these things. I am a airgun hobbyist & that can be addicting. Have to have the latest/greatest. I finally reached saturation point & am very happy with my current...

    Tell the truth-whats your deepest hole & was it a dream or a dud?

    Just asking as I had a nice repeatable faint signal on my Silver U-max in a new(for me) park. I was in an unkept field area so i went for the mongo plug figuring it would be deep. Got up to my elbow(I'm stubborn) & found a shredded modern coke can-at 1 ft deep!!. I know the park is fill soil &...

    Deep silver vs. large iron discrimination on a Silver U-max.

    Working a park that I know has some deep silver. I know because I've found some. Also I found the sites trash dump so I know how deep the "old" ground is. I should be in the 6-8" zone for these coins.Other than a ground rodent pushing a deep coin into his debris pile-Wich I have had happen...

    Anyone help identify a rusty old & abused axe head?

    Howdy! Just diggin into a old dump site. I'm in an area where most of the coins were scooped long ago. But they didn't bother with most of the iron stuff. Hoping to find more coins / good stuff I'm taking it out best as I can. Found an old stove lid dating to 1890's & a mason jar lid that still...

    Tesoro Silver hits my 1st oldie 1888S Seated liberty dime / Stronghold Steve button

    I was in a heavilly hunted park. Many rusty nails near the dime (along with a modern dime). But truth be told a mole helped me out. It was on the surface at the base of a tree in a debris pile left by what was probably a gopher. It is in incredible condition. The modern dime was 3" deep & dated...

    Options for better depth in mineralized soil-Silver U-max is what I have now

    I really like my Silver & in good soil conditions(we have a mixed bag) it gets very deep. I pulled a .22 spent lead from about 7" after I got it. Nice loamy soil & no adjacent trash. But in the real world-and my back yard-we have a lot of very mineralized rocks. On my 10 x 12 coil it has to be...

    Just squawking in the rain....Silver doesn't like a heavy mist

    Heavy mist/rain...it is par for the course here in Oregon. I have been out in a light drizzle without a cover before but this was a bit more persistent. Also I left the detector in the car overnight so it already had a head start in the humidity department. I was about 20 minutes into detecting...

    Mission impossible? Huge items bulldozed into ground at old site

    I was trying my new silver in a torn down homesite. It is very early for our area but was demolished less than 5 years back. Whoever did the demo was a freakin animal. I found a Montgomery Wards gas water heater-full size mind you-buried about 1 ft under the soil. At the angle it was lying the...

    WTB 10" & nugget coils for bount hunter...Anyone have a good deal on both?

    Howdy! Hoping someone has the 2 coils for the Pioneer 505. Used or whatever as long as they are in good working order. Can do Pay-pal or USPS money order. Thanks!

    Tesoro Silver snags probable meteorites in my front lawn!

    I kid you not...It is the process of being authenticated & I am in contact with an expert for advice. It looks promising but a verified meteorite has not been found in this area in a very very long time.The sad news is I rent the property & I am not technically the owner-by established law or so...
