    A different kind of lot......:) :cam:

    There's a parking lot between the highschool and football field that has a couple of inches of gravel and slag on it. It's maybe 25 by 40 yards long and used by students for parking during school and also for parking at home football and baseball games. A couple of weeks ago I asked two park...

    Golden

    I don't use the Golden very often but I took it for a short hunt today at a grassy area north of the football stadium that's used for parking for home football games. In addition to a couple of bucks in clad and pennies I got the four Namco game tokens in the photo. Namco tokens aren't rare...

    Front yard vs back yard revisited......:look:

    Awhile back there was a discussion on this forum, also on the Tesoro and Garrett forums, concerning whether more coins were found in the front or back yards of old homes or homesites. I've hunted a lot of old homesites and found more coins by far in the front yards than in the back. The...

    Golden

    For the last several days I've been using the A & S Treasure Baron with 5.5 inch coil to hunt what was a gravel parking area from the late 1950's until around 1970. Now it has a couple of inches of dirt and grass on top of the gravel and it's tough to dig in. The coins I've found have been...

    Virtual Earth......

    The photo below is from Virtual Earth and shows the ballfields near the city highschool (just out of the photo to the right of the tennis courts). In the last 3 1/2 months I've hunted around them, or the sports complex down the street, from 1 to 2 hours almost every day using mostly the Golden

    An interesting 3300 find....

    I took the 3300 out for a last hunt before my nephew gets it tomorrow, didn't last long because of the heat but one of the finds is unusual. Got eight quarters, including a New Hampshire state quarter that lost a fight with a lawnmower, two pennies, no dimes or nickels and the odd gold colored...

    3300....

    Yesterday I bought the 3300 I mentioned in a previous post. It's the third 3300 I've purchased and I got pretty fair deal on it, $100 and the guy only tried for a few minutes in his yard before deciding detecting wasn't his thing. Today I took it on a short hunt, at a relatively new site, even...

    Fast Tracker

    A co-worker I sold a Garrett GTA 550 a couple of years ago tried to hunt a playground at a local county school with it, but the nonstop trash signals were more than he could handle. He gave up within a few minutes and, not so affectionally, nicknamed it "the playground from hell". He asked me to...

    Got pennies?........

    A couple of days ago I rolled 19 dollars, 38 rolls, of pennies that are clean enough for the bank to take, but I've still got a fairly big pile of of dirty ones, 30 pounds or more, the bank won't take. No Coinstar machines within a hundred miles of here that I know of so that's not an option...

    You know you're addicted........

    When you dig a 1960 penny out of a fire ant bed:wacko:. Earlier today I went back to a ballfield where I dug a 1958 silver dime yesterday. Only a few feet from where I found the dime I swung over a big fire ant bed and got a weak high tone signal that sounded just like the silver dime had. I...

    New detecting vehicle........

    My butt is sore to the bone, but can't beat the mpg:). Bike was free, except for having to buy a chain and new grips for the handle bar. Detector is held in place by a rubber strap, digging tools and earbuds are in the bag attached to handle bar. The Golden

    Weedeater, or what?.......

    A couple of days ago I went to hunt a grassy area across from the football field that's used for parking, and also for pre and post game celebrations. There's always a bunch of coins lost there and it's an easy place to pick up a couple of bucks in clad. I was getting the Golden

    A rather unusual find...

    I dug the penny in the photo a couple of days ago and when I looked at it I thought it was a 1914 wheatie, but when I turned it over and saw the Lincoln Memorial I knew something was off kilter. I showed it to a local guy who knows a lot more about coins and and collecting them than I ever will...

    Fast Tracker tames......

    The playground from hell:). That's what a co-worker I sold a GTA 550 a couple of years ago called a playground at a local county school. He tried to hunt it but said the high tone coin signals were nonstop and he gave up before he started. He asked me to go check it out so I put a 5.5 inch...

    FCC restrictions on transmit power.........

    In a post below there was a reference to a 100 milliwatt restriction on the transmit power of metal detectors. At one time that was true, in fact all unlicensed radio transmitters, which includes metal detectors, were restricted to 100 milliwatts output. The text books when I was taking an...
