    :confused: A Week in Destin, Florida!:goodnight:

    Well, I just spent a week in Destin, Florida. With the early Easter, the weather was a little chilly at first, but warmed up by Friday. I had to leave Saturday morning, though. It was a little too cool to get in the water, though. I hunted several beaches but I couldn't find the gold. I did get...

    What is the best sensitivity. That is the question. Too much sensitivity can cause you to mask a good target. Too little Sens. can miss a good target. Different coils may require different sens settings. What are your opinions on this. Also, different types of ground conditions may warrant...

    My New Joey 5 x 10 coil test results

    Well, I finally got out for a few hours Thursday morning to try out my new Joey coil. I hit areas that I've hunted many times before & still found a few goodies. The coil is definately going deeper & getting between the trash better. Although I didn't hit the motherload while performing the...

    5 x 10 Joey Coil

    Hey Guys, I'm looking into buying the 5 x 10 Joey coil to add to my arsenol of coils. But, I've only had one person tell me that he didn't like the coil compared to others. I'm seeking as many opinions on this as possible. I already have the 4.5 x 7 & it is a great coil. I also have the 8 x 10...

    EXPLORERE FOAM RUBBER HANDLE

    I'm looking for ideas on what to replace my foam rubber handle with. It came off today as I was cleaning up the detector. I know this must have happened to others, so I'm asking for suggestions before I go the hardware store & buy something I don't really need. Thanks HH

    :clap:"Thar's gold in 'em thar parks":bouncy:

    Found a huge mans wedding band. It weighed in at .315 oz. At todays prices, that's about $120. It was about 5" deep & came in like a bottle top or nail by sound, but it hit right in the middle of the screen. I had to dig it. It was an unsual signal. Also found a 1911 "V" nickle & a 1918 New...

    :super:My First Seated Libery Dime:clapping:

    I didn't even know I had it until I got back & started cleaning my finds. I knew I had 2 coins that I couldn't ID in the field, but they usually turn out to be wheaties or very corroded clad pennies.

    :help:ID help needed:shrug:

    I found this pin awhile back & haven't been able to ID it yet. It was about a foot deep, which would suggest that it is old & also, It appears to be handcrafted, which would also suggest that it is old. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks [attachment 46500 PINFRONT.jpg]
