    Golden experience

    I had an interesting experience last week. Recently my neighbor next door was attacked at night and the guy grabbed his gold neck chain. They scuffled and the attacker got away. At the time it was thought that he had made off with the gold charm that was attached. My neighbor, Dave was able to...

    New search site

    I have been researching possible search sites using online public records to track down the owners. Doing this I was able to gain permission today from a local property investment firm to search two empty lots. I was a little nervous because they have no phone listing and I wondered about the...

    :clapping:pinpointer arrived

    New Harbor Freight pinpointer arrived the other day. It seems to be ok for the money. I notice however that if you set the sensitivity too high it will go off constantly even if it is not near metal. But since I only want it to sound off close to an object anyway, that's not really a big deal...

    Today's hunt at local park.

    I spent a few hours down at a large waterfront park today. I focused my time on one small area, going slowly,and came up with only 3 mem cents and a pocket full of junk. Still, there are many acres of parkland down there stretching the length of the downtown waterfront, so the opportunities are...

    Today's outing.

    I recently got a nice detector bag with a full length strap for easier shoulder carrying from kellyco, so that I could go outside my own yard. So spent a couple of hours at the local park today with the V. Messed around the kiddie section and seemed to get only false signals. Of course they did...

    New coil.

    After reading all the raves about it, I ordered the 5.75 concentric as part of my new arsenal. Hope it lives up to its reputation.

    Target masking -2nd air test

    OK guys, thanks for all your input. I tried the air test again and for some strange reason came up with different results. First off, let me explain that the type of nail I was using is a 3 1/2 " spike type of nail with a slightly flaired top that tapers to a flat point, somewhat similar to an...

    target masking

    I have been air testing my new Vaquero, and I notice that when I disc out iron and try holding an iron nail over a quarter I get no response even though some of the surface area of the quarter is still visible. Is this to be expected? I do recall the thread a while back concerning iron masking...

    New Vaquero

    Been air testing my new V today according to the manual. Also bought some new headphones from Radio Shack for $24.99 which are comfortable and will do until I am ready to spring for something else. I want to get the basics down first before I use it in the field. Possibly tomorrow I will take it...

    British treasure law

    I notice that on today's-July 7-Online Lost Treasure site, in the Tip of the day, that there is an article which indicates that in England all items over 50 years old must be turned over to authourities for evaluation first. I thought the limit was three hundred years old. Does anyone have any...

    Tesoro modifications

    Does Tesoro perform modifications on its units or are they done by another vendor? Does having this done void the warranty?
