    4th ring from the same lot

    Went back to the lot where I found the 1881 fishy, 1910 Canadian 10

    2 Compadres dont get along

    My wife and I headed up to a school today with my newest Compadre and the one my wife uses. These machines get along like 2 teenagers on a long car ride. Bicker and fight the whole time. If either of these got within 15ft of each other it would start. I thought about using one at a club hunt...

    'nother Compadre

    Picked up another nearly new Compadre with the 5.75" coil for $90. Couldn't pass it up, hardly a scratch on the bottom of the coil.

    Just goes to show ya..

    Got out for a couple of hours today with the 705 and Digger coil. I can't seem to separate these two. Went back to the lot where I found the fish scale a couple weeks back. I couldn't find a wheat or IH to save my life. Lots of newer coins though, which is pretty odd considering the age of this...

    Something "fishy"

    Finally thawed out enough to get out. Went to a boarded up house slated for demo for the new freeway exchange. I cant seem to win, someone else had hit it already. Plugs everywhere. Sometimes it pays to search the area any way. Got a dozen modern coins, 2 rings( 1 silver), a 50's wheaty and an...

    Which 10.5?

    This has probably been asked before, if so I apologize. I have the stock MF coil and the LF Digger for the 705. If I got a 10.5", should I go HF or MF? Orrrrr, would the better coil be an elliptical? So far I can't seem to bring myself to remove the Digger. But, most of my hunting is in...

    Sometimes winter sucks

    Wednesday my debit card was compromised for the 4th time this year. Went to change car and homeowners insurance and found out that they were all paid 30 days early, now I have to pay the new insurance out of my pocket and push for a refund. And now the ground is so frozen I can't detect. THAT...

    Copper pennies

    Thought I would ask this here. Over the years I have accumulated a pretty good sized amount of pennies. Several thousand are wheats, which of course I saved, but now that I have a tumbler I have another mess of memorials. Quite a bunch are copper. Do any of you separate out the copper from the...

    Short Saturday hunt

    Went to the lot close to home. Its been cold and wet lately. Using the 705 and Digger I went over old ground. Obviously the damp, wet ground brought up some good signals. Found 4 dimes, 6 pennies, an 1891 IH, half of an old Chinese coin, the ever popular and elusive Chuck Cheese token, and a...

    Even a blind pig finds a truffle now and then.

    Went out yesterday to the new freeway site. Was out about 5 hours. Not finding much but newer coins. A couple of dimes and 10-15 pennies. Searching with the Digger in AM with tracking on, there is so much trash, after about 4 hours of this I decided to switch to disc pattern 1 and see what comes...

    Lovin' the Digger coil

    I have to say it, I love this coil! In areas of a lot of trash this coil kicks butt. Separation is fantastic, signals are clear. Yesterday I went to the lot close to home. Started venturing into other parts of the yard. Pulled 3 wheats, a dozen older copper pennies and a dime from there. There...

    Reunion with an old friend

    Went to the lot close to home. Thought I pretty much cleared it out, guess not! I just got out of the truck, put my ear buds in and turned on the 705. I hadn't even had time to make any adjustments and the signal I got was so nice. Using the Digger, the ID was a solid 44, down 5 inches I see...

    Tracking GB offset question

    In the manual it talks of if your neutral GB is say 45 and the offset setting is +5, then the displayed number is 50. Why not just set the GB for 50 and put it in tracking? What is the advantage of setting GB, then pressing Accept/reject, adjusting offset then pressing Accept/ reject again? I...

    dashed hopes

    Got permission to search the yard of an early 20s home. Was hoping to break my no silver quarter streak. I searched for 2 1/2 hours and the only old coin found was 1943 merc. I did find a small handful of modern coins, just nothing old. I was getting good signals with the 705, but I think they...

    Strange encounter

    Went down to the lot close to home last night. Still pulling a few good finds out, but getting very thin. A guy walked up and asked how I was doing. Proceeded to tell me he's been coming to this lot with his detectors, I asked what he had and was told he has an Ace250, Technetics T2 and Fisher...

    Hyvis motor oil

    Went out today for a bit with the 705. Went to the very trashy new freeway site. Took the Digger and stock, played with 4 and 99 tones. I was lost in my own world so can't tell you what coil found what, but I did manage a quarter, 3 dimes, 2 nickels, a dozen pennies, 3 wheats and a '36 buffalo...

    An hour with the Digger

    OK, so maybe I'm becoming a convert.Maybe. Tonight I went out to a spot about 8 blocks from home. The houses were removed almost 2 years ago for the new elevated freeway. I pass it every day to and from work. I have seen MDers in there before. This place is so loaded with trash, bits of siding...

    Observations, of a rambling kind

    We have 87 parks within the city limits where I live. 80 of these are 110-120 years old. Over 4100 acres. I have been going to several of these parks and listening carefully for faint signals. I just don't get faint signals, at least not anything that is repeatable from different directions...

    So close, and yet sooo far...

    Took my wife out today. This is only her 2nd or 3rd time of detecting. I wanted so badly for her to find something. We went to a huge sports complex with half a dozen ball diamonds and a dozen or more soccer fields. Spent about an hour there and the lack of finds was overwhelming. I think...
