    EUROTEK PRO WITH 8" COIL

    Decided to give the new Eurotek pro with 8 " concentric coil a try. Looks hard to beat for the money. I think this detector is going to work well in the farm fields that once had homesites that I like hunting. The detector seems to have very good depth, it's very light weight, has target ID, and...

    GOLD CONCENTRATES

    Does anyone here sell concentrates in smaller quantities that has small pickers ? I purchased concentrates from Alaska and it has gold so fine I can't recover it. I'm interested in learning to use my gold pan, but this fine stuff gets old real fast. I'm looking for a pound or so of concentrates...

    CIVIL WAR ITEM ?

    I dug this item in a bean field last sunday where an old homesite once stood. It looks to be a military pin of some sorts. The pin is slightly curved like it might have partially wrapped around something, and it has two pointed pins on the back with the points bent slightly down. I have soaked...

    10 BUCK RELIC SHOVEL

    I needed a small shovel for hunting farm fields and didn't really want to spend a lot on one at the present time , so I made one. I took a round point shovel purchased from Home Depot for 10.00 and cut the shovel down to how I wanted it with a Dremel tool using cut off wheels. The handle was cut...

    CLEANSWEEP COIL ON VAQUERO

    I'm interested in a clean sweep coil for my Vaquero. Curious to hear how it performs on the V. How would it work in a farm field where an old house used to stand with lots of targets in the ground? What kind of depth could I expect out of the clean sweep? I need a coil that will cover large...

    Freedom III Coin Commander

    A friend is giving me an old Freedom III Coin Commander. He said it works but he didn't know if it was working right or not. Just curious how well it works on coins and if there is a problem with it would it be cheap to fix or would it just be good for parts. If I can get it working I will give...

    Your favorite spots to hunt and research methods ?

    I love researching sites to hunt almost as much as the actual hunt. With search tools like the internet, the possibilities are endless. I'm a regular reader here but post very little. I see the great finds made by forum members and the members who post mainly clad finds, not that there's...

    DELTA 4000

    I'm interested in hearing from some Delta owners about the pros and cons of the detector. There doesn't seem to be alot about the detector on Youtube that I can find. From what I have found, it seems to be a decent detector with quick recovery speed and a few nicer features for the price. I...

    Vaquero and 5.75' Coil

    I just got a 5.75" coil from Richard at Backwoods and testing it on my Vaquero amazed me. It was hitting solid on different coins at up to almost 10 inches in the air test. This was with sens maxed and super tuned, but it was very impressive. Can't wait to get some time off to take this coil to...

    High tone Vaquero

    Thinking about sending my Vaquero to Tesoro this winter and getting it converted from a low tone to a high tone. I heard the difference on a Youtube video and kinda like the high tone sound. My hearing is fine so it isn't a factor. The high tone just sounds more pleasant to me. I'd like to hear...

    NEW COMPADRE OWNER

    I picked up a nice older Compadre with a 7 inch coil recently. I have read about how good the Compadre was for gold jewelry and had to give one a try. So far I have only hunted in my yard for about 15 minutes with it but did find a 1915 buffalo nickel I had missed with my other detectors...
