    It's above freezing, so I went MD'ing.

    I ran the F-70 hot at sen. 90, thres. 9 for two hours and it was quiet. The ground was 78 with no dirt bar. Maybe mine is broke. Hey Fisher, I want one of those noisy ones. Well the second place I MD'ed, I had to run it sen. 50, thres. -3 with ground 85 and one dirt bar. The location does make a...

    I found my oldest wheat and memorial coin for the year.

    This is the oldest wheat and memorial cent I found today. I found it a little funny. [attachment 114325 1-1-090959cent.jpg] You know when you pin point you have to keep your eye on the spot you have to dig. I didn't have that problem today. I found my target and left the mark in the snow. No...

    Last hunt for the year.

    In stead of a 10 hour work day, they let me off in 8. That gives me about one hour of day light to MD. I hit an older house that I went over two times before with my Ace 250. Reason being my Ace got a few wheat's at 7 " with a little quirk that I learned with it and wanted to learn a few quirk...

    Man it was a beautiful day to MD.

    I have my priorities right. I love football and WV. played in a bowl game today. It was 70 deg. F. today so hang the bowl game. I went tecten. It has been so cold I didn't think I would get out again. This is what it looked like last Monday at my place. [attachment 113742 pondbridge2.jpg] I...

    Help on relic digger. Please.

    I'm going out to a cellar hole tomorrow and thought about how tired I get using a small digger to retrieve my targets. Of course where I live, I have lots of rocks and tree roots. I also hike some distances to get where I detect. Maybe a suggestion or two for a good system for packing my...

    Christmas 14k gold.:rofl:

    After a long Christmas day, it was an hour before dark, I decided to do a little tecting. I had to get out of the house after family left. We have a park in our housing development that can only be accessed by the tenants. Only paths take you to it. The playground is wood chips and is as hard a...

    I had this place to MD with great potential.

    You ever have a place like that and just bomb out.? I had a rain out at work and found a gap in the clouds to MD this new park, but old site. I saw pictures of this site from the 1800's where the ladies with their parasols would go for picnics. I saw a date on the rocks 1881. It was the high...

    Wow Bill, your test of the C-scope R-1 makes me want to go out and buy one.

    Just joking. Your field test on the R-1 is in Lost Treasure on line. Those field tests always look so good. I guess not good enough. R-!? Never really made it in the states.

    Sunday's outing. Today snow. Good day for posting. Nothing special.

    They bought up some more houses to build the new hi-way, which means there is more for me to MD. The bad thing is the houses are newer on this side of the road project. Good thing is I don't have to ask to MD them. I have been doing this for two years now. All the cops know me and stop and ask...

    Today was my first real serious attempt to MD a CW encampment with the F-70.

    I ran it in auto tune with sen. at 80, speed Sl, threshold at +3 and all ran quiet. Ground was one bar and minerals was 60. That's good for here. I have found CW items, but not in a battle field or camp. The trenches on the MT. tops are closed to me. I am trying to get my foot in the door. I...

    I was playing around with my F-70 in the bed room.

    I am always second guessing myself and wanted to be sure I am not missing anything. So I did some air testing to refresh myself on the ID's of certain targets before I go MD'ing tomorrow. I notice little quirks that I hadn't noticed before. A Barber dime hits on 76 while a mercury hits at 70+...

    I have found out the Ace 250 has more than 12 target segments

    I bet you knew that also. When it jumps in between segments that is telling me it is really a segment in between the two. The target is not of either one, but a segment of its own. I love it when it jumps in between nickel and foil. That is the segment where ladies rings hit on. When it jumps...

    Everyday can't be a gold day.

    Well I was hoping for some real silver when I MD'ed a park. I found a silver plated, copper ring and a plated necklace glass stud. Man, the people around here are poor. [attachment 110221 11-10-08ring.jpg] I don't know if the button is old, probably not. No name on it. I think the F-70 did...

    A metal detector's dream.

    I got a job offer to metal detect. A farmer wanted me to trace a 2" gas line from a private gas well on his property. I maxed It out in autotune, speed SL, sen. 99,threshold 0. It ran flawless. It was a challenge. The line was 2 to 3 ft. deep. Most of the time the signal was so weak that there...

    Don't pass up a 28 reading on a F-70.

    I had an important union meeting to go to after work. I didn't have time to go home, but that gave me a half an hour to MD a park. I hit the tot lot first. Got plenty of clad. Than I saw a pile of dirt from where they were making a new basketball court. Got some clad there also. I had to go by...

    It couldn't get any better than this.

    I got permission from this farmer to Md an old log cabin that was bought by the state of Iowa. They disassembled it and even took every square nail. This here is the cellar and a little barn. I had a hard time getting our schedules to coincide, but we finally got together today. He brought a...

    To make love grow, you have to spend time together.

    Touch is very important to have a greater oneness with each other. To know your love you need to be a good listener. You need to have a very high sensitivity and a high threshold. You need to play around and that is what I did the other day with my F-70. Detector and man as one. Isn't it...

    What I like about MD'ing is taking time to smell the roses.

    I didn't have much time, but I tried to stop and enjoy the beauty that is around me. I MD'ed an old school for an hour. I would bet you I wasn't the first person to detect it. I only found two wheat's and some clad. On the way there I saw this doe in the middle of the road. Well she is off to...
