    Florida panhandle beaches

    I'm looking for some tips on detecting the beaches in the Florida panhandle, specifically Ft. Walton and Pensacola Beaches. I travel there on business 2-3 times a year (I was at Ft. Walton in September and Pensacola earlier this week, both times without the detector) and while the dry sand...

    Euros...

    Is anyone starting to find Euros at the beaches? I found one at a local school playground yesterday and was just wondering if they're turning up more and more at the popular tourist spots. [attachment 80562 Pc130021.jpg] [attachment 80563 Pc130022.jpg] Thanks, Steve

    Euros.......

    This is the first I've found, but I'm not exactly in a cosmopolitan area of the country. Any else digging any of these up in any kind of numbers? Just curious. [attachment 80507 Pc130021.jpg] [attachment 80508 Pc130022.jpg] Steve

    Hints, tips, warnings??

    I'm about to begin my very first Civil War relic adventure. I've been detecting for several years but only recently dug my first CW-era minnie ball, by accident at a local park. That kind of sparked my interest, and since there was a CW battle not far from where I live I figured I'd have a go at...

    Year-end totals

    When I started last January I couldn't have dreamed I'd have so much fun with my Ace 250. I'd been away from the hobby for over 20 years, with just the occasional jaunt with my old Garrett Marksman. I was skeptical of the Ace before it arrived, mainly because I didn't believe a $212 machine...

    Since we're posting last hunts of 2007....

    Mine kind of blew. Ended up with a 1963 Phillipine 1-centavo: [attachment 77097 Pc040017.jpg] A 1957d and 51d wheat: [attachment 77098 Pc040018.jpg] Among the other clutter: [attachment 77099 Pc040019.jpg] Here's wishing everyone a Happy New Year, lots of good finds, lots of fun and long...

    Spanked a Tesoro Cortez today...

    Hit a YMCA camp today, beating the crap out of my hunting buddy with his Tesoro. He needs to get rid of that hunk of junk and get a Garrett, then he can stop whining about me finding everything. This ring showed up, and it would have me salivating if it was in a gold setting instead of .925...

    Also posted on Relic forum....

    I found this in a park today, looks Civil War to me but I have no clue so I posted it on the Relic forum asking for any help. [attachment 74687 Pb290007.jpg] [attachment 74688 Pb290008.jpg] [attachment 74689 Pb290009.jpg] It has 3 sets of the 3 grooves around the bottom and looks to be...

    All I know is that it's a bullet........

    I'm not really a relic hunter, this turned up in a park in the next town over. This is Northeast Mississippi, plenty of Civil War activity around where the bullet was found, but can anyone tell me anything more about it? It has 3 sets of the 3 grooves around the bottom, doesn't look fired to me...

    Tot lots and bark chips...

    I love bark chip playgrouds on elementary schools. Whenever I'm not finding much "old" stuff or the "good finds" get few and far between, I can always count on a playground to bring my spirits up. Lord bless the first person to think of putting bark chips on playgrounds to save the kiddie's...

    Tiny charm.......

    In fact the smallest I've ever found, really. It never ceases to amaze me how the Ace 250 will pick up the tiniest target if you let it. This manatee charm was in a bark-chip tot lot right at 4", below the chips and in the sand underneath. Everything was damp from the recent rains on Wednesday...

    Apparently white gold does exist....

    Although this is the first time I've ever found any. [attachment 73549 Pb200014.jpg] Loop on top of heart is marked 14kt, so is the clasp on the chain. It has 18 stones surrounding the heart on the front side, can't check to see if they're diamonds or not. I found it on an elementary school...

    Couple of hours under bleachers...

    Spent about 2 1/2 hours under the bleachers (just the home side) of a local private school today, I did better than I was expecting. The silver quarter, Roosevelt and Mercury are from Friday's hunt on a military base, along with the two wheaties and 40 or so of the clad and other cents...

    Some of my silver thanks to Ace 250

    To anyone considering an Ace 250 purchase and wondering how well it finds silver, this is my take (minus a few items family likes to wear) since about January. [attachment 71729 Pa280012.jpg] [attachment 71730 Pa280014.jpg] The great majority of the coins were found in demolished base...

    Newest silver

    [attachment 70200 Pa080003.jpg] Hit the local fairgrounds today since I'm off for Columbus Day, turned up the ring in the first 2 minutes (marked .925 Thailand and weighs 6.8 grams). Got the silver elephant earring 5 minutes later (2.3 grams). The rest of the 3-hour hunt produced 70 coins (all...

    Resort area ......

    I spent Friday and Saturday at a freshwater "resort area" about an hour from home, it's a 100-acre lake with a nice buoyed swimming area, water slides and docks, restaurant, cabins on the lake,etc. I took my new White's Beach Hunter ID and this was the first real test of it since I bought it...

    Technique questions

    Alright pirates, if any of you could provide some specific tips I'd be grateful. I recently got my Beach Hunter ID and am headed off to a resort lake this weekend for my very first actual water detecting foray. Being a newbie to this, I'd like to ask how most of you handle carrying your scoop...

    BHID harness

    I just got a new Beach Hunter ID, and have a question on chest-mounting the control box. I'm trying to use a military LC-1 harness, but one of the black straps on the yellow control box pouch runs right over the red light on the unit. As far as I can tell there's only way way to put the control...

    ACE hits on gold

    [attachment 68236 P9150049.jpg] This is the 20" 14kt (5.2 gram) gold necklace my ACE 250 pulled out for me today. If you're in Coin Mode forget finding something like this using audible tones, it registers on the cursor as foil and since you're discriminating that out you won't get a tone at...

    Any Beach Hunter ID tips?..........

    Just making the cross-over from land to water, orderd the BHID this morning from JW at Kellyco. Any tips unique to the BHID that I should know about? Already have booties, long-handled scoop, will be 98% in freshwater lakes and whatever other swimming areas I can find. Previous experience has...
