    10 days into my CTX...I seem to be digging more trash

    I came to the CTX after running an E-trac with an X-1 probe. I've been working some more modern sites to get used to the CTX and I am finding plenty of clad coins. I also found a 1903 V nickel at one of the spots. But I seem to be digging more junk targets than I did with my E-trac....mainly...

    Hunting at the Farm

    Other projects have taken up my time lately, but I was able to get out today for a hunt. I went to an old farm that I've been working. I dig all good signals because there's usually some interesting items along with the coins. Here's what I pulled from there today...

    Down on the Farm

    Need help determining price

    I have a used White's DFX 300 I'm planning to list on the for sale forum, but I don't know what to ask as a fair price. I bought it new in March of 2012. It was my primary machine through November 2012 and then I picked up an E-trac that I'm using now. The DFX has some expected cosmetic wear...

    First Buffalo Nickel

    The good thing about being new to metal detecting is that there's a lot of first finds, but I'm running through the list fairly fast. At the beginning of the year I set myself a goal to find a buffalo nickel. It's one of my favorite coins and I thought I'd have decent odds of finding one...

    Slow week, but another First today!

    I've been knocking on doors all week and getting into a few yards. I know I'm in a good area because I keep finding Wheaties (have found 22 including the 9 I found today), but the silver has been hard to come by. Finally got one today and it was a good one for me. I started in the front yard...

    Help with an ID

    Despite his equipment problems yesterday, my friend found this token. It's about the size of a half dollar and appears to be made of bronze or some type of copper alloy. Here's one side of it: The words at the bottom say: "The All Seeing Eye Guards You From Evil". The symbols clockwise...

    Any ideas what this is?

    Coincidence or Destiny?

    Long story. I have this farmer friend that has an old stage coach station on his property and I talked to him last year about detecting it. He said I could get on the place anytime I wanted so I've been waiting for a good day to head over there. Today was that day. I picked up a friend who...

    New spot gives up a little.....

    Silver! After finding the 7 Wheaties and V Nickel there yesterday, I had to go back for a quick hunt today. Just as I thought, there was indeed some silver there. Not old silver, but if my research is right it's just the beginning. Time will tell. Got six more Wheaties, also.

    Short Evening Hunt Yields First of a Kind

    I had a few hours to spare yesterday evening, so I gathered up my stuff and headed to an area I've done a little research on. I think it has the potential to give up some silver, so I wanted to sample a piece of it to see what I'd find. I spent about 3 hours and found these and about $2.00 in...

    My Trip to Georgia

    I just got home from my trip down to Georgia. I wasn't able to get out as often as I wanted because I had a good bit of work to do for my Dad, but I did find some silver and got more comfortable with the E-trac. Some of the sites I had expected to find tons of old silver were complete duds and...

    Finally!!!

    After four months of reading, 3 months of practicing and a month-and-a-half of hunting, I finally put my coil over my first silver with the E-Trac today. I was hunting an old church that was converted into a community activity center last year. I'd been on the site once last month, but there...

    Have E-Trac (and a White's DFX), Will Travel

    I'll be leaving for the trip to Georgia to visit my Dad, in about a week and a half. I don't have a set schedule or route and was thinking last night that it would be feasible for me to try to hook-up with some experienced E-Trac users on my way down. I've gotten pretty good at picking up clad...

    I think I'm getting it figured out

    I bought an E-trac from Bart at Big Boys Hobbies back in November. It probably wasn't the best time to buy one because we've had a pretty cold winter in Idaho and all I could do is caress and look at the E-trac and hope that the weather would get better, the snow would melt and the ground would...

    Some western landscape photos

    After years of shooting film cameras (and being fairly good at it) I still struggle with the transition to digital format. I shoot Nikons (D5100 and D40), but the perfect exposure eludes me. I still enjoy getting out and tripping the shutter though and the great advantage of digitals is it...
