    My Silver Day...Son Helped

    Hello All, My son who is twenty-one just got interested in metal detecting. That is probably the most awesome part of this post. He has never had the patience for it in the past but that is what old age and wisdom will do to a person. He found the 38 gram silver bracelet shown in the photo...

    F-70 First Impressions

    I just bought an F-70 on this forum. Took it out today for some shake down runs. The first thing I noticed is that is won't shut up until you are over a good target. When you are over a good target it locks on strong. Sensitivity at about 35 was all I could manage in my residential...

    How do you test for silver?

    I hit the tot lots today with the Cibola for a few hours and came up with these. The Eisenhower coin was quite a surprise. The bangle bracelet appears to be silver but frankly I don't know how to test for it. Does anybody know how to test for silver? The only test I know of is to put it in...

    Called in Sick

    Told my boss I thought I was coming down with the swine flu. Truth is the waves were big last night and I wanted to hit the beach. Targets were plentiful today and I got my first gold of 2010. 4.4 grams of 14K with CZ's. Also got a Tiffany silver ring that should clean up nicely. The other...

    Thumb Knob for Discriminator

    Hello all, Thought you might like to see my latest tinkering. The knob makes thumbing the descriminator a breeze. I've only made this prototype but if anybody is interested I could set up to run a batch of them. They really should be anodized also. I set the pointer straight up so that it...

    Question about Clean Sweep Coil

    Hello All, I was wondering how you pinpoint with the long, narrow clean sweep coil. My guess is that you would pinpoint off the end of the coil. Any input would be appreciated. Harvdog

    Last one of the year

    This time it was the other way around. Got this on my second dig. Hunted for four hours after the find and came up with a lot of clad, keys, sinkers etc but no more jewelry. This will probably be my last one of the year as I'm going to give detectin' a little break. I'm tired. The ring is...

    VDI Display on Tesoro Machines

    Hello All, I frankly haven't done much research on this subject so I'm throwing myself on the mercy of the court. (You guys) I used to have a a Whites DFX and I miss the VDI numbers. I have a Tesoro Cibola which I really like and have found a lot of stuff with it but the discrimination...

    Just leavin' the beach

    The beach was sanded in and it was a bit cold today so I decided to call it quits after about 1/2 hour hunt. I got about three zinc pennies while "ernestly" hunting. I was just cresting the berm to go home when I got this last signal. It is a small 10K ring but it sure made my day. I guess...

    Ring made from components

    Hello all, Merry Christmas. I wanted to show off the ring I had made for my wife Reyna from components I found metal detecting. This was her Christmas gift. The diamond is almost a 3/4 carat diamond I found a couple years ago on the beach. The gold setting I found at a local park. The...

    Anybody hunt high tide on purpose?

    I've had some good results hunting high tide. One day on a steep section of beach each wave was depositing. I could actually see coins come up the slope on occasion. The coins would then slide back about two feet and stop. All I had to do was wait for the wave to recede and then run out and...

    Copper Ring Found...

    Hello All, What makes this ring unique is that I planted it two summers ago. Some people raised a stink about me littering the ocean but I think in the big scheme of things the ocean has more serious things to worry about. I threw about hundred of these copper "rings" out in the water about...

    I think it is junk....

    Hello All, Thought I would post this to see if anyone is familiar with this. I found this chain this weekend and thought it was silver but now have my doubts. It is marked "Made in Italy" The only other markings are "T1" on either sided of the clasp. No "925" marking anywhere. When I got...

    Still looking for that retirement find

    The beach conditions were so so this weekend but I did manage to find a few populated pockets. Four badly corroded silver rings and two 14K pieces. The broach I think is really cool. It is in great shape, weighs 5.7 grams and has sixteen small diamonds. It has been awhile since my diamond...

    Keeping up with the Jone's

    Had a good day at the beach today. Conditions are everything. Found four rings. Three gold and one silver. Last two weeks of weekend hunting came up with zilch. Sorry for the poor quality of pics but these were made from my sons cell phone cam. One 14K band...7.6 grams One 14K 4.5 grams...

    No match for John but...

    If this is a repeat post it is because I did something wrong here. Oh well These are the gold finds I managed to muster for the month of August. The "ice" in the left two rings are not real ice. Somebody ought to outlaw CZs. Thank God for global warming as this has really improved things...
