    bullets at a farm field

    I would appreciate some help in identifying these bullets: age, type. I found them in an NC farm field that has some Revolutionary War history. Thanks, Andy from Hillsborough

    Back to the Farm Field

    Went back to the farm field where I found the grape shot and J-hook, and spent 2 hours on so re-tilled land with my 705. After 2 hours I found some modern shells but also these 2 bullets. If any one can give me approx. dates or eras. I would appreciate it. Andy from Hillsborough

    Farm Field Finds

    I was out hunting in an old farm filed with the 705. There was some Revolutionary War action there, but I have never found anything of interest. Thought the same thing happened this Sunday. I found a heavy round object that I first thought was a rock and what I thought was an old farm clip of...

    Farm field find

    Any idea what this may be? I found it in a recently plowed field that had some Revolutionary War History. I have no idea if it is a shot or just iron junk. It weighs just under 8 oz and is iron and round. Andy from Hillsborough

    coil shapes

    Should there be much difference in depth, performance, and/or separation between a 9.5x12.5 DD and a 13" circular DD? Homebre

    MARSMD coils

    Has anyone compared or know if there is much difference between the Tiger elliptical 9.5x12.5 coil and the Discovery 13" coil with regards to depth, performance, etc? Both are DD. Thx. Homebre

    Trouble with the Vaquero phone jack

    I am having trouble getting the Vaquero phone Jack to make good contact with the headphone jack. I need to kind of manipulate it in and out to get to the correct spot for the headphones to work. Any solution that will not void the warranty and avoid my sending it to Prescott? Thx, Homebre in...

    New Finds with the 705

    I have not been having much luck relic hunting lately, so I have been going to middle schools where I have found a lot of clad but also some silver rings. This past weekend I went to an older middle school and didn't find much of interest until I hit the soccer field. I found what I thought...

    Middle school hunts

    Went to the local middle school twice this past week to experiment with two detectors and two coils. On the first hunt I split the 3 hours about evenly using the Vaq with and SEF 10x12 coil abd a Minelab 705 with the stock coil. Did not notice much difference between the two in finding power...

    Is this a bullet? Is it old?

    Found this while hunting in the woods today (Not the dime--there for size comparison!). would like to know if it is a bullet, if so how old approx., and what else it could be. It is lead, and one side is flat. Thanks, Andy from Hillsborough

    My new $10 earphones

    Well I got my beautiful $10 earphones yesterday, and they seem to work fine. My wife and daughter, however, suggest I don't go outside wearing them. My daughter was very concerned I might be seen by a friend of hers. The gold really plating is very impressive!! Andy from Hillsborough

    Marko Racer vs. 705 or other xterra

    2 hour hunt with the 705 today

    Took the 705 out to a church camp area for an hour and then a church nearby for an hour. The first 119 minutes yielded the first picture (about $.85 in clad). Decided to try one more strip of land and dig one more solid hit. The results are the second picture: 2 rings are silver and the...

    earphone jack on the 705

    I have had some problems with adapters for smaller plugs and also ear phones with correct size plugs on the 705 that seem to make only intermittent contact so the sound goes off at times. I have tried the same earphones on other detectors with no problem. Anyone else have problems with the...

    Back to the Farmhouse!

    Went back to the the circa 1840's farmhouse and did a little better this time. Found my first silver coin with the 705, a 1916 Merc along with two zincolns. Also, found a rifle cartridge and a rifle bullet (unfired) along with a big padlock, some other odds and ends of scrap metal. Would like...

    Gold ring found with the Vaq

    I got a call late this afternoon from a woman at a Camp and Church Retreat that I have hunted extensively in the past. She said one of the employees was playing GaGa ball with kids there and noticed that his wedding ring had flown off his hand. She asked me if I would come over and look for...

    X705 hunt at an 1840's farm house

    Finally got to go out to the old farm house I was given permission to hunt. It is really an old farm with several out buildings and probably 100 acres so I barely scratched the surface. I did not show the real junk I found, but I did get 4 clad pennies from 1972-1976, a 1996 dime, and two...
