    Be observant!

    So about 5:30 I suddenly realized I had nothing to do on this lovely 100 degree evening. Fishing? Yeah, I need to hit one of my spots anyway (I fish some KILLER ponds). But wait, I just got my new 705..and my buddy just moved into a new place in the country not far from where I fish! I loaded...

    GOT MY NEW 705!!:detecting:

    The 705 came in yesterday evening! A big thanks to Richard at Backwoods for a very easy transaction! I've been watching all the videos and reading the FAQFAQ section for the last week or so, and I'm pretty sure I'm ready to go out and conquer.. Friday am will be a swim beach area at a local...

    One step closer....

    ...to getting that Xterra 70 I've been dreaming about! I just sold my Scorpion and the ACE is next! If I can scrounge up enough money I may be able to get the 705, but right now it looks like my budget will only allow the 70 at used prices. I REALLY can't wait to take the thing back over some...

    'Mental note to self'...

    I've been using my ACE with the 9X12 coil and all metal setting lately. I'm really trying to learn this detector for some upcoming (HOPEFULLY) hunts. So I was thinking about a recent hunt and a target I recovered and 'logged' a mental note about the result I got.. The ACE rang out on a target...

    The ACE can be exotic...

    Went out last night for a tot lot hunt.. I found a little over a dollar in clad, nothing to get too excited about really. However, I found a 5 rupee Sri Lankan coin! You just never know what you'll pull outta the mulch! Sorry about not having a pic, I need a new camera!

    If the ACE says it's at 8"...believe it! :yikes:

    I went to a tot lot last night for a short hunt with ACE and the 9x12 coil. Things around here are soaking wet, and I wasn't as thorough as I should've been, but I found that the ACE display is more correct than not with this big coil! One of my first hits registered as a quarter and the depth...

    Stinkin' rain...

    Got my ACE 250 'sports package' yesterday!! I put the 9x12 coil on it..emitted an evil laugh at the though of the impending tot-lot domination, then saw the extended weather forecast. :ranting: I've been really busy with my mom's medical stuff, working two jobs and having a family as it is, but...

    Couldn't say no to the ACE...

    This post has a double meaning! FIRSTLY-I hit a tot lot last night and even though I love my Scorpion, I just had to use my buddy's ACE that I've borrowed. Netted me just under $3 for a 2 hour hunt.. I really like this detector and just can't put it down! SECONDLY-I just bought an ACE!!! I'm...

    The Ace is sure different than my Scorpion!!

    I got to borrow a friend's Ace 250 today. I hit one tot lot on the way home from work just to see what it would do. I only hunted about 20mins and this is what I found: 2 quarters (clad) at about 6 inches (this is what the display said also) 3 pennies just under the surface (the Ace isn't sure...

    Can't wait for new ProPointer!

    I'm buying the pro pointer with the money from my finds!! I'm pretty sure the Garrett will knock the socks of my little Centech.. I can't wait! :garrett:

    How many Texans? In DFW?

    I know there are a few..I've seen enough posts about Texas to wonder who my competition is..er..uh, I mean FRIENDS are! LOL! :detecting: I'm in the DFW area, how many from here as well? The rest of Texas?

    'Nuther $1.75 plus a 1929 Wheat

    Well, if I just used the money I found to pay for the next detector..it's gonna be awhile! LOL! However, I had a good 2 hour hunt! I got up early this morning to return some equipment by 7:30. Had I know the hours had changed to being closed on Sundays I'd have been out at the new honey-hole by...

    Why do some people's posts not seem to appear?

    I was just reading the thread about the GTI2500 and the White machine. Good reading but it seemed like at one point John was responding to posts that I can't see? John, I know you're a Canuck and all..but I'm thinking the whole 'talking to yourself' thing is something you probably do most when...

    Best hunt so far with the Scorpion! Still talkin' to me...

    Went out last night after dark to hit some tot lots. I had worked all day and was really worn out but as I've mentioned before, I have a DRIVE to find something valuable.. I hit 6 tot lots if you can count the ones that are seperated by a sidewalk. Otherwise 2 huge ones and 2 small ones. Here's...

    Things I'm learning about the Scorpion and tot-lots

    I've been hitting any nearby tot lots lately with my limited free time. For some reason I have an obsession to find a gold ring..can't imagine why that would be! LOL! Anyway, I'm still learning this detector but have discovered a few things along the way.. I CAN get near the poles and stairs...

    Would a dedicated 2 box be better than the MH or GTI option?

    I have a chance to pick up a top of the line OTHER brand detector (that I always wanted) for a great deal. If I do that, it takes away the money I would use for either a Master Hunter with regular coil and two box, or the GTI 2500 and me throwing in more for the two box.. So brand wars aside...

    :shrug:Help me decide whether to snatch this deal up...

    I've found a Tejon in the price range that I can afford! It's missing it's lower shaft and coil, but it doesn't look horribly expensive to replace those parts. Anyway, that part of the equation isn't what concerns me! I'm a noob really and my only experience with detectors is with a Silver uMax...

    House detecting help.. PP or cut down a detector?

    I was thinking of buying a detector for the purpose of cutting it down and using to shake down the door jambs, windowsills, etc. in old houses. Now I'm wondering though-will the Garrett pinpointer work instead? Seems like it probably has the sensitivity to find that bag o'coins hiding just...

    Scorpion keeps talkin' to me

    Yesterday I went to the dentist for what I thought was going to be a short appointment. Naturally there's always a little more metal just laying around that they need to stuff into my teeth! Turns out with my job stress as of late I must be grinding my teeth and have worn some holes in some...

    My Scorpion has P.I.!!!!

    Posted this on another forum: LOL..no not pulse induction... POISON FREAKIN' IVY! I was out detecting a farmhouse last weekend that was grown over by the woods. I was wading through the PI but being careful (yeah, right). Normally I don't have any reaction to poison ivy(not necessarily for...
