    Ice, Ice Everywhere - 89 Days Until Spring

    [color=#483D8B][size=medium] What a week it has been here in central Massachusetts. The ice storm of December 11-12 was a real winner. It knocked out power lines all over the place. Central and Northern Worcester County looks like a war zone. We were without power for 8 days. The temp in...

    Just a few finds for the day.

    [color=#483D8B][size=medium]I went to a local fresh water beach with my Wader to see what was there. I only found $.72 in change, four 'beaver tail' pull tabs (boy those sure sound like good rings on the Wader). Also found a common pull tab and an older pull tab and a bottle cap. Interesting...

    Curious Beach Hunt

    My wife and I took a few days and headed to the beach. We figured now was a good time as the beaches would be pretty empty, and we were right. Everyone has gone back to work and school making detecting easier. She hit the dry sand and I hit the wet sand and surf. I'm really surprised at how...

    To The Worlds Greatest Treasure Hunter

    Today is Mel Fishers' birthday. He would have been 86 years old. Mel left us on 12/19/1998. After searching doggedly for years and years, he found the multi-million dollar treasure of the sunken Spanish galleon, Nuestra Se

    Do you have a favorite detecting shirt?

    Do you people wear any special shirt every time you go hunting at the beach? I usually like to wear a white tee shirt of some kind, especially when the sun is strong and hot. It helps to reflect the sun and keep me cooler. Another reason is that when it dries it doesn't show a salt line from...

    Brush On or Spray On :confused:

    I'm taking a curiosity poll to see how many people do this and if you do, which you prefer. People on the forums have been protecting their coils from scratching by other means than the use of a coil cover. The sand build up between the coil and the cover can cause falsing at times...

    Meager finds, but a learning experience.

    Well I finally got a chance to get to the beach for the first time with my Surf PI. Just one time out and I'm already learning the difference in sound between objects. Even though this is a PI its getting fairly easy to tell the good sounds from the bad. The weather was cloudy with chance of...

    Tough day at the beach.

    Finally got my Wader to the beach at the ocean. There were wall to wall people there. It was tough detecting anywhere. Life guards were keeping people close to shore because of rip currents. People had their chairs down to the water line. Dry sanding wasn't much better as I felt like a rat...

    Where are they now?

    Remember just a short while back that Florida sold out of all their metal detectors when the price of gold jumped over $2,000/oz? What happened to all those machines? Did the people that bought them actually make their millions from finding all that free gold on the beach and then retire, or...

    What Detecting Dreams Are Made Of.

    If only these people would be kind enough to let some of their gold fall off, we would head for the beach and do our thing. All these pictures are of Romanian Gypsies that I found on the Internet. Maybe we should all start looking for these things at our local beaches. :rofl: This first...

    Suggestion. Agree or Disagree.

    There are a lot of people who have a lot of great finds. Many of these finds have some great stories behind them and many of these people are great story writers. However, some of the stories get kind of hard to read because of their length. They are written in one long rambling paragraph. My...

    'S' curve handle

    Most metal detectors these days come with an 'S' curve on the upper portion of the shaft to use as a hand grip. Has anyone ever tried to straighten out the shaft with a pipe bender so that they now have a shaft with no bend in it? I'd like to attempt it, but I'm not sure if it will weaken the...

    This is how to detect on the beach :clapping: :thumbup:

    If anyone has any better idea I'd sure like to know what it is.

    Unknown Ring Marking :confused:

    My wife has an old ring that was her Grandmothers. It's a nice ring, but it's the marking on the band that I am curious about. Most bands will have a karat number (10k, 14k, etc) to tell you the amount of gold in the ring. This ring just has the letter "A" followed by a five point star (see...
