    Probably button?

    So a little history here. Perhaps my biggest hero, second only to Theodore Roosevelt was George Westinghouse. He founded and built Westinghouse Airbrake In Wilmerding, Pa. For those too young, the invention of the airbrake made train travel significantly safer. Before it was about as safe as...

    Probably button?

    Yes sir, fwcrawford nailed it. Great save. A Grand Army of the Republic button. Seems the G.A.R. was started in 1866 for the Union war vets and existed till 1954 when the last veteran died. There is also a womens and sons chapters. I would hit that site again. Good luck. Mark

    Probably button?

    Dead nutz fw. I dug one a few years back and was thrilled when it was ID. Now my bucketlister in that category is a G.A.R. medal. I've seen several of those posted.

    Manticore owners: Do i need 1?

    He better be careful. Every president who has tried or supported that has been shot. Most young people don't realize the Fed is not a branch of the government but is a private bank that lends the U.S. money and the taxpayers have to foot the bill. Which makes no sense since we have our own...

    Manticore owners: Do i need 1?

    Thanks for the reply. I got a 900 when they came out in Dec.of 22. Used it for about a year. Around 75 hunts. My main gripe was I didn't seem to be hitting any deep targets. Other 900 owners report no problems with deep targets. I bought an 800 when they came out in 2018 so I'm no stranger to...

    Manticore owners: Do i need 1?

    KSDfisher77, So its been 4 months now. Your thoughts ? Is it worth the upgrade from the 900 ? Was wondering.

    Just for fun what’s your serial number ?

    Ha ha. When I saw the title to this thread the only thing came to mind was, Sir my weapon serial number is 2111843, It is an M16 A1, with a muzzle velocity of 3,100 fps and capable of 750 rounds per minute Sir. Funny sometimes I can't remember if I put deodorant on but I can never forget...

    Last hunt at the silver field!

    Good lord Ted that place is loaded with silver and other goodies. Congrats on the triple Barber day. The half is still on my list. Speaking of halves, although not at once you did manage a half trifecta from the site. Don't see that too often. Good for you. I would pound that site till the...

    Found a medal

    Very cool find.I found one last year but it was just the cross, no bullseye or wreath. I know they were still sterling in the 70s when I was in.

    Found a medal

    Correct but if it is just the cross, its a marksman, cross with bullseye, a sharpshooter, add the wreath and that is an expert marksman. As far as sterling, mine are from the early 70s and they are sterling.

    Another day epic day in the field!! Big silver again!!

    You're on fire Ted, a huge attaboy and congrats on another great hunt. A little jelly on the seated half. What a find. I'm still lookin for my first Barber half. That is definitely some old ground you've found. Keep pounding it and good luck. Mark

    My Flood Plane Dave and Mar kus type day!! Silver!!

    Great score Ted. Congrats. Good luck on your return.

    Is the triple score stable

    Sounds like you might have got a bad one or had a loose connection, maybe the area had high EMI. I have about 100 hrs on my Legend. Using the LG24 coil I can max out the sensitivity in most areas if I want. Before I noise cancel I do max it out to scan for potential hot spots then usually settle...

    Bone conduction headphone

    Can't speak to that brand. I use Ziocom open air conduction phones. They work quite well, good audio and no lag. 50 bucks on Amazon.

    Got a bucket lister today

    The three stars means it a Type ll. Type l (no stars on the back ) 1916 and some of 1917 had a bare breasted Lady Liberty but too many complained so they put the chain mail across her chest. Either way great save and congrats on the find. Mark

    Didn't think there would be much there...boy was I wrong

    Heck yeah, what a score. Congrats Jimmy. The research paid off quite well for you. A honey hole for sure. Different settings, different coils and hitting it from every direction would be my plan. No telling what else the site holds. Again well done and good luck on your return. Mark

    First park hunt with the legend.

    I have their wireless headphones, the audio is pretty good. But after a few hours they seem to pinch a bit. For warm weather hunting I use Ziocom Open air conduction headphones. They work quite well. No lag, good sound. I like being able to hear whats going on around me. The only drawback I see...

    Just looked at a ring I found 875 gold

    Oh man what a find. Looks like it came from the Emerald Isle an being Irish that would be a special find for me. Congrats on the beautiful Claddagh Mark. A great save for sure.

    One nickel at a time ends up being a herd of buffalo 🦬

    Agree with you. But lowering the volume on either side of the nickel bin really helps you to pay less attention to the less important while making the mid-tones a no doubt , need to investigate this signal. Good luck. Mark

    One nickel at a time ends up being a herd of buffalo 🦬

    I think my best was 4 Buffs in one hunt. You seem to be at it a lot longer then me, only started in 2015 and till I got an Etrac the nickels seem to elude me. For the first 2 years it seemed like the Buff was my white whale. When I got the 800 in 18 nickels were all I dug on some hunts. Over 450...
