    Without using a pin-pointer and screwdriver, couldn't do it.

    The Vortex Had A Real Infinity To Nickels Today Plus I Dug A Special Olympic Pin

    The Vortex found 15 nickels today. Now if only the search-coil could have passed over a nice gold ring. I would have surely dug it. It just wasn't in the cards today. Here are some other finds from a school yard. That 2010 Olympic pin is rather unique as Garrett had the contract for security...

    Two Vortexes Were Out Searching A Park Today.

    Out this morning with my buddy who also owns a vew Vortex. Hit a park which has been pounded to death, yet still got some pennies in the 60's. Here are the finds..... 3 coins and a couple of sex tokens...on Good Friday Yikes! :eek:

    Went Prospecting Today, Brought Along My Vortex And Found Ring #10.

    Here are todays finds, other then the flour gold. Finding bones & petrified wood are usually eye-balled as I am feeding my gold producing highbanker. After about 3 hours of digging, I packed up my equipment and detected the gravel for a short while. Finding a ring while digging for gold just...

    VORTEX Got Ring #9 Today

    I detected a small park a block from home. It's not well used......no play equipment or soccer fields. It only has a couple of picnic tables and park benches. You just never know what or where you can find good targets. It's probably gold plated. As with most rings, they create a lot of eddies...

    All 3 Models....VX5 VX7 VX9 Are Now In Stock

    Hey.....I struggle with computers and cell phones. I was still using a slide rule in grade 10. I got my first battery operated 4 function calculator in grade 11. It cost $49.00. And we were not allowed to use it for exams.

    How To Easily Get 2-3 Times More The Number Of Coins You Dig In A day.

    I made this video several years ago, gut it still stands just as good today. The only difference is that I was using a concentric coil, where I used to pinpoint off the inner coil. The VX series and most detectors manufactured today use the center of the coil to pinpoint. Someone on this forum...

    A Few More Hunts Under My Belt

    Nickels, due to there close proximity to pull - tabs as ID, can be challenging. For my Canadian nickels (nickel plate over iron) they ring as 49 in all directions, no double beep and not as intense. Pull tabs, due to their irregular shape and holes really create a huge wave of return eddies...

    A Generous School-Yard Today + Ring #8

    Good luck. School yards are my favorite places to dig targets. Different zones are loaded with good targets. After a while, you just know where the good targets get concentrated. And as you have shown, silver, gold and other surprises show up. I remember many years ago digging up a silver...

    A Generous School-Yard Today + Ring #8

    Thanks......it's always been my dream when I retire to spend lots of time metal detecting and prospecting. I am blessed to have the North Saskatchewan River run right through downtown Edmonton. It's been producing flour gold for nearly 200 years. As many rivers do, it created trade with the...

    A Generous School-Yard Today + Ring #8

    The North Saskatchewan River remains high due to spring runoff from the mountains. So, with my wifey out of town I had the day to myself. I returned to a school which I visited recently. Go figure, I got a signal at 53 (same as pull-tab) with double bleeps. The audio sounded a bit softer then a...

    A Few More Hunts Under My Belt

    Nice report. I think learning what those graphs indicate helps with the insight to how the coil responds to a target, and what it actually means, including a good probability (not a guess) of what that specific target/based on conductivity actually is.

    Yesterday Was Gold Prospecting......Today Was Coin Prospecting

    Yesterday I had my best day so far this year highbanking for flour gold. I hit a small pay streak. The river depth was on an upward trajectory this morning, so for safety reasons, I went coin prospecting. I also found a couple of tokens, and a nice silver heart which read 88 on the Vortex VX9...
