    Classic SL W/ Mr Bill mods.

    First chance to get out and hunt with my White's Classic SL since having the mods done by Mr. Bill at Surfscanner. Went to my local high school that I have been hunting for thirty years now. I have been finding silver on and off for that entire time. It is getting harder to find the good coins...

    12/28 Bean Field Hunt

    Hit the fields one more time. David (Night Hawk) was there, but didn't see his final take. Only one Indian today. It was a 1896. The weather was beautiful, high in the 70s. Walking those fields three days in a row will sure wear this old man out. The newer coins came from a school in my...

    12/27 Back to the bean fields

    Got a call from David (Night Hawk) about meeting at the bean fields for a hunt. Having found four IH Pennies yesterday, I was ready for another go at it. Found four more IH Pennies today and some sort of bangle. Dave found it's mate a little later, but right far away from mine. It was a great...

    Classic ID in the bean fields

    Hit the bean fields in Deep Creek section of Chesapeake. Little muddy, but a great day to hunt. Found four IH Pennies a 1988, 1891, 1895 and 1897. Found a dog collar with tags. I am going to take them to the owner of SASHA tomorrow. Found a piece of jewelry with silver inlay. Also a 1918 and...

    Mr. Bill's mods for Classic IDX

    Just bought another Whites Classic and was wondering about how much the Mr. Bill's mods cost with shipping both ways. I hear a lot about the mods and was wondering if those who had it done think it is worth the extra expense over the stock unit. Thanks for any input you have. Happy Hunting!!

    9/7 After Supper Hunt

    Grabbed the Discovery 3300 and headed for Va Beach. Just knew I was going to rack up the goodies after the storm. WRONG!! The storm piled a load of sand on the beach and changed the hunting conditions drastically. This was the slowest evening I have had this summer. Never have worked so hard at...

    9/1 After Supper Hunt

    Such a beautiful day!! Had to grab the Discovery 3300 and head for Virginia Beach. Didn't do as well as I thought I would considering the holiday and the nice weather. Even so it was a great way to spend the evening. Saw at least four people hunting the wet sand at low tide. They were heading...

    8/14 After Supper at VA Beach

    Just couldn't stay away!! Grabbed the Discovery 3300 and headed to the beach again last night. They say we are going to start getting thunderstorms the rest of the week, so I figured it was time to hunt again. Not a bad evening. The bracelet is .925 with some kind of blue/green stones. Heaven...

    8/12 After Supper at VA Beach/ With Discovery 3300

    Well, it was that kind of night. Weather was perfect, so I grabbed the Discovery 3300 and headed for VA Beach. Hunted from 24th to 26th Street. Started off real slow, but eventually my ship came in. Not as many targets as last week, but still a pleasant way to spend an evening. Still looking for...

    8/7 After Supper at the Beach with Discovery 3300

    Just finished supper and was setting on the porch in the 91 degree heat, when the power went out. Since the A/C was of no use, I decided it would be another good night to grab my trusty old Discovery 3300 and head to Virginia Beach. I think everybody else had the same idea. The lot at 25th...

    7/29 Discovery 3300 After Supper Beach Hunt

    Decided to hit the beach yesterday evening. Took over an hour before I found my first quarter. Things got better after that. The jewelry is just junk. The bracelet looks real, but no marking on it, so probably plated. Still a great way to let supper digest.

    7/17 Discovery 3300 After Supper Beach Hunt

    Grabbed the old Discovery 3300 and headed for Virginia Beach. Weather was beautiful again. Hit the dry sand. This time I got a Golden Dollar coin and two rings. One is a junk ring, but pretty. The other is 925 Silver. Still waiting on that gold ring. It will show up eventually. Still it was a...

    7/2 After Supper Beach Discovery 3300 hunt Ring!

    Went to the beach this evening before the smoke moves back in. Weather was beautiful. Finally broke the jinx. Found my first 14K gold ring of the year along with the normal clad. I knew if I kept trying long enough I would eventually hit pay dirt in the dry sand. The old Discovery 3300 does just...

    Discovery 3300 at tot lot "Ring" !!

    Well, it was 95 degrees outside and I had to go get some gas in the car. While I was out the "addiction" hit. Stopped at two tot lots for about 45 minutes each. It was definitely too hot for this old man. No shade of any kind at the tot lots. Not bad hunting. The ring didn't make it feel any...

    Buying from Phillip_in_NM

    Purchased some parts for my GTA 1000 from Phillip. He is an outstanding guy to deal with. He even made sure I was satisfied before accepting the money. Not only that, he expedited the shipping so I would get them Quicker. Thanks Phillip.

    6/26 Beach Hunt

    Took the Discovery 3300 to the beach again last night. Beautiful weather again. Had a great time, even though the rings are still avoiding me. I figure I had a chance at least 20 times, but it turned out to be nickels and tab tops. Maybe next time.

    Discovery 3300 at the beach again

    Decided to grab the detector and head to Virginia Beach after supper. The weather was perfect. There were still a lot of people on the beach when I got there at 8pm. I hunted from 24th through 26th street. Sure was a great way to spend the evening. Did not hunt the wet sand. Just the dry stuff...

    6/19 After supper silver at the old school

    Went back and hunted around the old tennis court, where there are a lot of tabs and bottle caps. The area was too trashy even to hunt with my other machines. The Classic ID came through again!! The ground was hard as a brick due to the lack of rain, but as long as I keep finding silver I will...

    More Classic ID after supper silver

    Hope you don't get tired of my posting my after supper hunts. I sure never get tired of finding the silver. For anyone new to the hobby, never give up on an old "worked out school". I personally have hunted this school for over 20 years and the only thing that has changed is my detector. Over...
