    Do coins lose weight after being in the ground?

    yea its weird how this all went down. What was happening is that he was measuring in lbs and quoting the numbers in grams.(which threw me off from the start) He was saying that my rolls were weighing in at .48 lbs or 217.724 grams versus his "controlled" roll of .50 lbs or 226.8 grams. that's a...

    Do coins lose weight after being in the ground?

    I do believe the roll that he was comparing the weight with was a bank issue as it had machine crimps on both ends. whereas, mine has the machine crimp on one end.

    Do coins lose weight after being in the ground?

    I know this is a steupid/crazy question but after what happened this morning I couldn't help but wonder. After figuring out the best way to clean the coins I've dug this past year, I rolled them up while watching the ball games on TV this weekend and decided to cash them in on the way to work...

    Electrolysis...........

    Mans other best friend? At least in the metal detecting world, I'd have to say yes. lol I'd never gave the word a second thought until recently and I'll share a lil' story that leads up to how the word and i were finally properly introduced. I've only been dirt fishing for a very short while...

Since Thanksgiving, after hitting the big woods out behind the house, i got into some serious poison ivy . long story short, it took me every bit of a month to get over it. after a lot of withdrawels and some chomping at the bits, i decided...

    I hit the side woods......

    this morning since the temps were nice and cool, cool enough to keep the skeeters at bay. Lol I hadn't had a chance to hunt much lately due to the fact I've been busy doing odd and ends around the house ect. So, with the cool snap we had recently, I made dirt digging a priority. Was getting the...

The hunt started out yesterday afternoon when i had returned from carrying the cat to the vet. after getting things situated with the cat i let the golden out to relieve himself and decided to grab the Compadre to entertain myself while waiting and headed to the back yard...

    Compadre Freak out moment .......

    yesterday when i took a break from working in the shop. i decided to get out the Compadre and work off some of the lunch i had just eaten. after griding off a small area of the side yard, i had made my second pass and was getting up from about the second target. i proceeded along the way and it...

    First Finds(Three of them)

    We had a cool front to come through this weekend and boy was it a nice change. after breaking for lunch from the shop, i decided to grab up the detector and hunt around in the yard for a bit. after only a few minutes i unearth my first little toy gun followed by a Chucky Cheese token(no pic yet)...

    The weather was nice.......

    and the humidity was tolerable. so, after putting in my long day at the coal mines i was compelled to do a little hunting before it got dark. i wasn't expecting to find much in the narrow window of daylight i had left but to my surprise i uncover a 1941 wheat as well as an old porcelain/milk...

    First real hunt with the Compadre

    yesterday yielded a few old coins and some interesting objects....... the hunt started out in my driveway, making my way towards the mailbox which uncovered a few clad to include a HUGE spill of pennies to one side of the drive up near the house. my guess is that at some point an ash tray was...

    Compadre acting weird

    I have a tech question for all of you Compadre owners out there.  I recently purchased one for the wife and as a good backup and have used it about three times. The evening I received it, later that night when the temps had cooled down significantly and last morning. The last two times was right...

    1st test of the Compadre........

    Sunday night in a small 12' x 12' area right outside the back door yielded a few coins ect. I began by swinging and listening to the tones in relation to the disc setting, digging and comparing. quite interesting i must say. I cant wait until i can get out there during daylight hours to have a...
