    First Class Ring (to be returned to owner very soon)

    I finally found my first class ring (I had to be pointed at it though) and it will be going home very soon. A couple of months ago someone at work was asking me what I had found recently when another coworker who used to be a neighbor of mine overheard the conversation. He asked if I could...

    Going to the beach soon...Any input on settings

    I am headed to the beach for Easter and want to play with my Deus and my ETrac. I know how to set up my ETrac, but need help with the Deus since it will be my first beach hunt with it. Anybody want to offer up preferred beach settings to help me in my quest? I haven't been using my Deus as...

    Found this button today. Is it real Civil War era or repop?

    I was hunting a yard today that I have hunted many times and found this button about 8" deep. When I cleaned it some I realized it had the palm tree and SC on it. My search turned up a civil war button just like it except that the civil war button doesn't have the S and C on either side of the...

    A good day and my best silver year ever! (Probably can't repeat again)

    Today was another good silver day for me with 2, a 1920D Merc and a 1911D Barber. This brings my silver total up to 122 (compared to 31 in all of 2011) which is pretty good considering where I live. I also found 1918 and 1927 wheats today. Please be patient...this will be long winded! I was...

    ETrac finally gets me into the seated club!!!:crazy:

    I was home in Mississippi visiting my Dad this past weekend (he is nearly 90) and my wife gave me some hunting time that turned out rather productive for me and my ETrac. I was covering a large area that has been in use since the late 1800's and every trip home I chip away at it. I got...

    I am thinking of branching out and hunting some gold with my DEUS instead of silver. Any comments as to which of the gold programs will be better? I live in th esoutheast US with sometimes iron laden red clay. I usually hunt in a slightly modified Basic 1 program at maximum sensitivity and...

    Dues Continues to deliver on silver from hard hunted sites

    Went out hunting Saturday in a 200 foot curb at a local college campus where my buddies and I have pulled two walkers, one silver quarter, two merc's, a sterling hair beret, a couple of buffalo nickels, and a pile of wheaties. I was seeing what the Deus could find that had been missed by other...

    The Deus impresses again in previously hard hunted sites!

    I went back hunting at some hard hit areas where I and multiple others have hunted with a variety of machines and the Deus delivered again. The first notable find was in a grassy area at a local college campus (which I have permission to hunt) where homes used to be. I found a 1941 mercury...

    I am impressed!!!

    The XP Deus is a great machine!! I have been hunting with an ETrac for 3.5 years, but the XP Deus really impressed me. My ETrac has been wonderful to me, but there is a new kid in town. I bought an XP Deus two days ago and I immediately went to a place I had hunted hard with my ETrac to give...

    I love My ETrac but

    My ETrac has been wonderful to me, but there is a new kid in town. I bought an XP Deus two days ago and I immediately went to a place I had hunted hard with my ETrac to give it a good comparison test on how it hunted. This how my test in a difficult spot transpired. I went out to a small...

    MXT Pro or MXT??

    I am a Minelab Etrac user who is looking at buying an MXT Pro or MXT for hunting hot soils in Virginia. My question is: Is the difference in cost justifiable based on difference in features and performance? I am trying to make a decision and thought this forum would be the best location to...

    A lady walked up to me on April fools day

    Shovelnose and I hunted hard on both Friday and Saturday (6-8 hours each day, Bennie and Gilbert also hunted Friday). We had a great (but tiring) time and both found silver each day. This site is very trashy and has been hunted hard, but the E-Trac showed itself well. He has already posted...

    Ben Made My day!!

    Posting two hunts in one post. One from today (3/25) and one from last Saturday (3/19) from the same site. Went hunting for the second time with a new hunting buddy in Charlotte today and had a good day. We had a great time (he found silver too and will probably post it as well). Ben came...

    I went home to Mississippi this for the latter part of the week and weekend to visit my 87 year old Dad (Mom has been gone 6 years now and he lives alone) and 82 year old Aunt who is a widow and lives alone also (I check up on them a few times a year and take care of anything they can

    Last trip to Charlotte Park - Gold!! (sort of)

    Went back to the Charlotte site I have been hunting for the last two weeks for a final visit. I have gone over this small area (2 acres +/-) as well as I can and think I have found most everything. I found no old coins today, even though I went back over the areas I have already hunted again...

    4 Silver Day and another 1st for me

    I went back to Charlotte today to work on the same site I have been hunting the past two weekends. It is just outside the center city and has turned into a good place to hunt. In the previous two hunts I had the 1923 Mercury with the die defect and a 1929 SLQ (which was another 1st for me)...

    Found a 1923 Mercury with a strange defect

    I was hunting in Charlotte last week at a pretty good site and found two silver (1929 Standing Liberty Quarter (a first for me), 1923 Mercury dime), a crusty, holed large cent (also a first, soaking in olive oil trying to verify it is truly a large cent), 4 wheaties (1920, 1944 x 2, 1951D)...
