    Locating targets

    I thought this might be interesting especially to new users. Ive been asked when out hunting with a buddy why i am circling a target. Well the reason I do it may or may not be for the same reason other do. Im trying to get a repeated tone ... especially one of the same pitch. I like to...

    Ferr digital reading

    Cold today so i thought id ask some of those electronic and techie sorts a question. I know the Ferr reading is nothing more than a digital point of a scale and that the Explorers arent really reading the metal content of a target.... IE iron. I was wondering if they used TWO peaks to...

    Sun Ray Gold Pros headphones

    Well i bit the bullet and threw down the cash for a new pair of headphones. I did my research... and believe me its hard when all the more expensive models seem to have the same specs. That said i contacted a lot of you guys on here and other forums im on to make my decision. It came down...

    Todays hunt with Darrelld

    Finally got to tag along with Darrelld and Jimind. The day started off with a little rain, but the clouds stayed around until about noon so it wasnt too hot. After that.... it got H O T quick. We started out in a park that we all have pounded personally as well as with a group. I picked...

    Photos DarrelD

    I got in a couple of hours yesterday.... there was no wind and it was hell hot out there. I was mostly picking up clad then got a high tone that was very shallow. Popped out the Monroe dollar. At first i thought it was one of those brass president token ive found before. Then flipped it...

    Hot weathers affects

    Ive noticed this year with all the hot weather that my detector is running HOTTER. Im getting more EMI in the dry ground and areas im hunting at my normal settings. That said, im also getting really good depth.... which is odd because normally we want to hunt with more moisture in the ground...

    Headphones or earbuds?

    This seems to be a question more people are asking. Im not that techno on the specs for various headphones, but i know i can tell a difference in the ones ive used. Each seem to have an advantage in certain conditions for me. Now comes the earbuds. It seems more people like them for...

    Hunting with a buddy

    I recently heard it said that medal detecting is somewhat of a selfish hobby. We protect our spots and rarely hunt with others.... more so the experienced hunter than the beginners. I have done a lot of traveling and hunted all over the states. Ive noticed it is the new guys that are...

    Coiuple days hunting

    I didnt burn it up on old coins, but i did well on the clad. I managed a 42 Merc, 1899 IH, 1954 dog tag, a Sac dollar and some kind of a state token. The rest of the clad totaled $12.38. I found the older targets at an old Indy park that used to have an amusement park just down the road...

    Brass Hook device

    I need a little help on the brass device on the left with the hook. Its 2 inches long... the tip is not broken its the was it came so i know its not part of a scissors. However i do think its something to do with rug making.... maybe for hock rugs or even leather. It was found at a mid 1800...

    Difference in sound depth

    Just a curious question to see what others think. I know some of us hunt in Cond and other in Ferr.... have you noticed a difference in the depth? I have a tendancy to switch when im field hunting depending on the area. I know the tones are based on which you are using ..... cond or ferr...

    A few weekend finds

    I got in some hunting this weekend. Couple hours in a field till it got too hot. None of those finds are here, just some buttons, a couple of clay marbles, and a couple of IHs. Hunted one day just for old coins in a park, came up with the 2 Barbers, rosey, and a couple of wheats. That tiny...

    How about a guess on this

    I found this at a civil war era home that was removed before 1900. There has been nothing modern found at the site... not even parts of cans. The home was about 1/4 mile from the old urbin rail road but in the middle of a 80 acre field. Its brass, 2 1/4 long, its rivited on the top and...

    disappointing winner

    Got out a few days ago and dug some more field articles. I just dig and throw everything in my pouch until i get home.... well except the exciting stuff that i have to look at right away. Ill just say this is another reason to keep your trash.... and everything isnt as it appears. Once i...
