    Got a question about digging Pennie’s.

    Hi, I know my machine pretty good and almost dead on zinc Pennie’s, copper VDI#s R different. I tested a bunch of gold rings and jewelry and they all fell below the 40 VDI # on my Legend. The silver rings R a different story, some of them did hit the 40–42 zinc #’s. I don’t know, I’m just going...

    garrett gti 1500

    Hi, The GTI 1500 was one of my first detectors many years ago and I still use it today. I do have a couple newer ones and use them all. The GTI 1500 is spot on to pinpoint, depth read out and imaging out there. It’s not too much different from the 2500 which is a little pricy . It can hit those...

    An all day beach hunt yesterday.

    Hi, not really, mostly surface finds. We had a very windy day with 40 mph gusts causing sand wind erosion leaving most of the heavier material on top like coins, sea shells, pebbles etc… A lot of the other items just bellow the left over sand

    Spend all day at the beach with brutal wind conditions.

    Went to the beach all day from sun up to dusk and most definitely paying the price today. Wind was just a howling and almost all the beaches were sanded over real bad. When U get these conditions you get a lot of wind surface sand, erosion, leaving all the heavy material on top. If U can find...

    My $1.00 hand sand scoop and $6.00 digging and sifting shovel paid for itself today.🤓

    Sometimes when the budget does not allow to buy detecting accessaries you have to get creative and think outside the box. Went to the beach all day yesterday and my home made detecting tools paid for themselves, about a $7.00 investment not including my time. Hand scoop: old kitchen can...

    Finally did it and impressed with the results.

    I bought my Legend a while ago and it had the 1.07 update on it. I have found quite a bit with it but was never really impressed with the depth, great detector around tot lots and parks for shallow targets using the 1.07 version. I had someone help me down load the new 1.17 version and I think...

    Got a question about digging Pennie’s.

    Hi, I hope I’m detecting at 80, very good point on the Pennie’s. About 15 years ago, I was digging all the pull tab signals . After digging about 30-40 pull tabs, I was going to give up and the very last signal turned out to be a gold ring with 2.5 carat diamond.

    Hi, It’s funny you said that, I found 5 rings on a soccer field after it rained for a few days and the ground was still pretty wet.Thanx for that reply, just curious if it’s the same on the beach as well.

    Wow, that’s interesting.

    Just watched a few videos about detecting in a wet soil environment and the extra depth you get when doing this. Just curious if anybody noticed any difference when doing this after a good rain storm.

    Stopped by a small park with a fishing pond and picnic tables.

    Did a short hunt at this little park, very trashy and picked over real bad, starting to back off on the Penny signals.
