    found grandma's thimble

    T/h today with son and grandson near a house I used to live with my grandparents. Couldn't hunt the yard, but did hunt b/t the sidewalk and the highway. Found one of her thimbles! Amazing how much the little things mean when loved ones are gone. L

    Monday Morning Minutes with Monte???

    Just a suggestion. Monte could write us a few insights words of wisdom concerning our machines, disciple us that we may pass our hobby to future generations. He's got the knowledge, kindness, patience, and broad range of expertise, par none.Lewis

    coil wire question

    is there any advantage to not wrapping the coil wire for the first 12 inches, that is taping it straight up the rod. This was suggested to run a higher sensitivity on another make machine I have.

    Grandson makes his big find of

    28 cents! He's just nine, and this was his very first time metal detecting. Gave him the 250, put in coin mode, showed him how to pinpoint, turned him loose. After air shooting for a few minutes, settled down to business. He was fascinated even to dig old bottle caps and got really excited to...

    wasn't too thrilled, was he?

    if i had found a silver dollar, it would have been more than a casual mention. probably would have ran home. of course, it could be so common with him that it doesn't do that much for him anymore, or that he's learned to "control" himself. I would say 'staged'.

    As I dug, I saw the eagle, my first silver

    Dollar! I couldn't believe it! No! At a ball park parking lot? It was the same size as one as I carefully dug away the dirt. It rang silver dollar on my Ace.
