    Old gave up some gold and a Copper?

    The grass finaly was cut so back in I went. The pennies were making it a lost hunt and then these 2 poped up along with a large railroad type spike. All were about 8 to 10 inches down and the platypus picked them up between the trash. The dog is cute but the pin I will have fixed and keep it...

    After the storm

    A good day in the mud but not a lot of stuff. I used the Platypus at the old school today. I went over the area the EQ 2 12" was used on. More finds came up. It was a little wetter than last time but these were between 6 and 8 inches deep. The EQ2 should have picked these up? All were covered in...

    Plug for Doc"s

The real test will come when I go back to the school house I found the lead cat head for the salt shaker at. I worked a deal...

    Seeded Hunt

    What is the average price you pay to go on a competition hunt? (seeded hunt). I am in the works to obtain a large area to run one here in South East Wisconsin. More input from those that go to these events would be great. I hope to tie it in with the local food pantry as a charity event. Thanks...

    I am digging the programing mode

    Now that I dared to write my own program from this machine it adds a a whole new dimension from running it stock. I went back to the festival grounds and set it to quarters, dimes, silver, pennies. A very tight little square in the top. I was so nice walking over chain, bolts, wing nuts, tin...

    Detector Challenge

    Ok , we know these machines work great. Let make it interesting. Since this is my goofy idea I will make the first suggestion. I will give an idea for an item for someone to find. Who ever finds it first gets to suggest the next item. Easy enough. Old pieces in the collection do not count. Make...

    Hot sauce?

    Ok, what secrets have you guys not let out? On the Garrett forum their is a post that says you will get better depth if you rub hot sauces on the bottom of the coil? Reminds me of the first ime I tried surfing. I waxed the wrong side of the board. I told my friends that it would make us go...

    Sliver charm? or mad girl friend

    My good luck spot turned this up today. It is non magnetic, to heavy for aluminum and read out a 00-29. No rust. It is well over an 1 oz. it might be pewter? Does that read like silver? I have none to test. If it was stainless it should not have been in the silver range. So for now it is a nice...

    Sliver charm

    A quick trip through an old hunting area turned this up along with 3 bucks in cald. Sliver about .5 oz. It nice to see all the diffrent items people dig up. It would be neat to see total value of what the EXII forum digs up this year. I put the stock coil back on and the handle is quieter...

    Squeeky Handle

    Has any body had their handle start to squeek inside the grip when you swing it? It started a little while after I put on the EQ2 12 inch coil. I find that coil easier to use than the stock one. I checked all the screws and shortened up the shaft for less stress but no luck. Thanks for any...

    ANOTHER 1ST SILVER COIN

    Finally, The first silver coin. Silver rings are beating the silver coins right now at 4 to 1. It was nice to find. I found 3 wheats also here. It seems to be in nice shape too. The back is as nice as the front and the ridges on the side are still pretty sharp. It was only about 2 inches down...

    Red Neck Coin Tumbler

    [attachment 22634 nature007.jpg]I was looking at the prices on rock polishers to clean coins and thought their must be a cheaper way to get a polisher. Their is! Go to your local Salvation Army or Goodwill store and pick up an ice cream maker. The one below is a Rival Yogurt / ice cream maker...

    Learning curve apogee

    Well now that I have almost reached the top of the learning curve I went and rehit a spot I use my old (nameless)detector at. I found one coat pin from 1991 and 3 bucks worth of clad only walking 50 yards from the truck and then walking back. The best part was looking at the display and knowing...

    Weird signal from the EXII

    Ok, I was out hunting tonight and the EXII put out a high pitched ping like silver but very week and the signal showed deep. All the way down to the bottom of the depth display. I lost the signal then I came back to it about 10 minutes later. I repicked it up partialy. The detector started...
