    Bertha DID Produce SOME Movement Here...

    ...not as much as I would have liked, but just enough! I took a chance and headed for the surf lane last night and arrived at about 11. Low tide was at 1:20, but having to get up at 6:30 this morning, I would have to leave no later than that to come back. And yes, I AM tired, but I got 4...

    What Good Is A PIRATE Without Pirate SOFTWARE???

    And I don't mean PIRATED software...I mean software for PIRATES! :lol: Let me explain. I was talking to my friend (and boss) Dave at work and telling him about gold finds, Midwest Refinery, melt value...stuff like that. I was saying how I figured up what I have so far this season to be...

    Catch-up Time...Finally Some Stuff To Post!

    I've been on a gold streak for the past 3 hunts now, with 6 pieces...3 in the last hunt. Here are some pics from the last hunt. Stacey also bagged a NICE 14K men's comfot band with some nice weight to it. No picture of that yet... A clad bonanza...31 quarters, 47 dimes, 14 nickels, and 55...

    Gold and Silver in The Surf Lane...

    ...there's not a whole lot right now...beach is majorly sanded in, sloped up hard, VERY few targets. But there are a few finds being made. We're hoping to see a lot of fresh drops today. Stacey and Karl and me hit the lane last night for 4 hours at low tide. Saw Tony, Dalton, Anthony, Norm...

    A Little Excal II Loot From Stacey's New Machine I'm Road-testing...

    No gold yet, unfortunately, but things have been slow for all but a few lucky folks so far since Memorial Day weekend. Usually by this time it's pretty well slammin', target-wise. Not so right now...you can go a 1/4 mile without a target...worst I've seen for this time of year. When you get...

    All Right All You Playa's, SWIM CALL!!! Who's Ready For THIS Beach???

    I knew there were a lot of people in China, but this is nuts! This is the stuff that metal detecting "WET DREAMS" are made of! :lol: Think it's been hunted??? :shrug: [attachment 76152 ChinaBeach1.jpg] [attachment 76153 ChinaBeach2.jpg] [attachment 76154 ChinaBeach3.jpg] [attachment...

    Farm Field Hunting With The GT Today

    I spent a few hours in an old farm field today with a few friends. Everybody got some nice stuff...Tony hit a Barber dime, an Indian, and some bullets, among other things. Dalton bagged some buttons. Rob hit a killer 1774 Reale (like dime-size) and a plow-struck King George II Colonial...

    Took The GT Out Farm Field Hunting Today...

    ...with the Sunray S-12 coil. We were told by the owner that the place has been hunted by many. There wasn't a great deal there but looks like they missed a few things anyway. Got a 1920 wheatie, a '44 Merc, a 1900 Injun, a toasted no-date Buffalo nickel, a toasted button, and an Allis-Chalmers...

    Found Me Some "Gold" Yesterday...Well, SORT of...Totally NOT Metal Detecting Related.

    My 4GB USB flash drive crapped out on me last week...wear and tear..."coming and going" in Windows due to damage to the USB connector. I had to tear it apart and solder it just to get my stuff off of it. But I use it pretty much every day at work (I.T. stuff) so I needed a replacement. I'm not...

    Gt Pulls A Few Nice Civil War Bullets

    Took the GT out today with the Sunray 12.5. Only had a short while, like 45 minutes. Dug up a 5 .58 cal minnie balls in that time...1 looks to be chewed. Most were at about 8 inches and gave nice high tones and around 175 to 177 on the Digisearch meter, calibrated at 180 on a US quarter...

    Anybody Interested In This?

    I made up a little target ID label a few years ago when I had my Elite, with which I first used a Minelab meter modified from 550 to 180 and then subsequently had a Sunray meter for. I had posted it here then and had several requests for the file afterwards. Below is a picture of my modified...

    Hurricane Noel Took Away My Beach! :(

    But left me a few goodies! :biggrin: Me and my buddy Karl hit the beach this morning again after finding mostly clad last night. Karl got a silver ring last night. But our thinking was another high tide and some more 50 MPH winds would cut up the beach, so we would go again for the morning low...

    Maiden Voyage With New GT

    Just for 20 minutes today at lunch, at a field just a couple of minutes from my office. Suffolk, Virginia...lots of Civil War stuff in the area. This field has been hunted TO DEATH by many and by me for 7 years. It's about the size of a football field. Previously dug bullets, buttons, and a few...

    I'm Back!

    It's been a few years since I posted here regularly. I had the Sovereign Elite and initially bought it for a quick backup choice for my CZ-70 for beach hunting, when my CZ went down at a critical time just before the 4th Of July weekend. Well, found 5 rings with the Elite my first night out on...

    Minelab Explorer SE With MANY Extras

    I'm floating this out here to see if there's any interest. If not, I may go to eBay..or not...I may just keep it all. But like many of us, I have more than one detector and am "jonesing" for something new. I have an Excalibur I use for the beach and that will always be my #1 for the beach...

    Midwest Refineries...The Final Step Of The Process...The PAYOUT! :)

    I've had a lot of people PM'ing and asking me questions and asking from time to time on the forum, so in the interest of sharing the info, here is what you can expect from Midwest if you send them your stuff. 1) A fair deal and one you will not beat at other outfits that do this 2) A FULL...

    Talked To Midwest Today...Check Is In The Mail

    I sent in 15 gold bands, 12 silver rings, and a couple of chains last week and they smelted my stuff down today. The gold was a mix of 10K and 14K with a little more 10K than 14K. I had figured roughly about $1000 to $1200. The 3.3 ounces of gold came out to a little over 1.4 ounces "payable"...

    Well I Guess I Spoke Too Soon About The Season Being Almost "Over"...

    Karl and I hit the low tide again this morning, for about 5 hours. No other hunters. Not many targets. Then we find the coin honey hole from hell...digging more coins than we knew what to do with. And within the coins, some other goodies...rings and things. It was some tiring work, but worth it...
