    GPS

    Does anyone use a GPS receiver and if so what is the best type to buy? The car road map type or the hand held field type? I'm thinking that I gould use Google Earth to search for ball fields and then use the GPS to get to them. I'm also thinking about open areas in the woods.

    I fixed my X1.

    The problem was were the wire enters the probe. I slide the strain relief back and sliced the wire casing where the strain relief crimps it. There are two plastic coated wires and each one has a second wire mesh wrapped around it for a total of four wires. I noticed that one of the mesh wires...

    X1 Probe problem!!!

    My X1 Probe is about 1 year old. Lately it has been freaking out. No mater what the soil condition or junk content when I turn the probe on and start searching the hole all I'm getting is a constant high pitch beeping. I take the probe out of the hole and wave it in the air and it does the same...

    Update:clapping:

    I found the cousin of the man that owned the gold bracelet that I found yesterday. Sad to say that he had killed himself a few years back but his sister is still alive and I'll be dropping it off this week.

    Got out for bit today.

    I stopped at a ball park in town that I've been past many times but did not think that it was all that great looking to hunt. Was I wrong. Large cent (toasted) no date. Colonial copper (also toasted) no date. The only detail is a bust facing left. Shoe buckle. Star burst button. 1898 Barber dime...

    My strangest find so far.

    I could not quite understand why this rotten old birch log was giving such a sweet signal. I was afraid to open it at first but I did and was baffled until I read the note. The first entry in the log book was 05 the last was 09. The signal came from a copper bullet inside the container. I...

    Coin Eater Stricks Again!

The second place was a field that I...

    Air test...:poke:

    I tested my S.E.F. 6x8 against my pro coil tonight with a few different coins and I think as far as depth and solid signal that the S.E.F. won by a small margin. Smaller coil more depth? Can anyone else do this to confirm?

    S.E.F. 6x8 coil

    Got my new 6x8 coil and took it out for a couple of very short runs to places that I stopped hunting because of all the trash.I figured if it could find something there it was a good coil and a keeper. Well it's a great coil and I'm keeping it. 42 Merc 46 Rosie The Merc and Rosie were in the...

    They left the cage open last night so I snuck out..HEE HEE.

    Got a couple hours freed up so I went to an old spot that I love spending time at. Found a 1913 Barber. No S mint mark,darn! The 1929 BN was only a couple inches down. A cover of some sort. A fixture that was deep 12 inches before I got a clear signal from the X1 probe. Life is good! GR.
