    Just Smok'n It With The Vortex 6" x 11" Coil - Silver Dime, Ring #13 Plus So Much Coinage.

    Here's my last 3 hunts. Those one and two dollar coins are so easy to ID with that smaller coil. This should be a good month over-all. A couple of pennies and an earring today. The rest were found in parks. And a bit of flour gold a few days back.

    Axiom

    There are so few tiny nuggets which actually could be picked up with the AXIOM. There are so many other targets in the river it would probably be a ratio of 1 tiny nugget to 5,000 signals. You are better off running a detector unstable to pick up the magnetite/hematite concentrations, where the...

    Here's Two More Hunts Worth.....Love That 6" x 11" Coil. It's Staying Put On The Shaft.

    All the different detectors run at different frequencies, so the coils are not compatible. :(

    Pssst...Wanna See What I Bought With Some Of My metal Detecting Coins?

    PSSSST.....Wanna see what I purchased with some of my metal detecting coins and trash pop cans from my NSR prospecting trips? I got a steal of a deal (less then original price from the Canada Mint) on a meteorite coin. I currently have several specimens of meteorites and a couple of meteorite...

    Trouble with the Vortex 9..

    I agree 100%. He was also a very generous person too. He often donated metal detectors and gear to various meets and clubs all over the world. He and I exchanged a couple of letters, before internet existed. We lost a very noble man.

    Sometimes Your Finds Can Be Downright "Creepy."

    Headed out yesterday with my buddy for a couple of hours hunting a nearby ravine. I found 19 coins with a total value of $2.65 I found a couple of tokens and an older TIMEX wind-up watch. It's dead! Kind of a creepy find in the tall grass. It's missing it's torso? If only it could...

    First outing with Vortex 9…

    You did good Mike. There's always a learning curve with a new detector. It appears you and the VORTEX are getting along fine!

    Here's Two More Hunts Worth.....Love That 6" x 11" Coil. It's Staying Put On The Shaft.

    This is pretty well one soccer field. I started at one end, and gridded the field. Most coins are closer to the goal area. Some of these coins have been in the ground for some time. Some are so very ugly with rust. I am going to soak them in vinegar at the end of the season and dissolve most of...

    I Received My 6" x 11" DD Viper Vortex Coil And Took It Out For A Couple Of Hunts To Test It Out

    The gold, although it looks good, is flour gold. I used my macro lens on my camera to enlarge it so you can identify it's shape.

    Don’t go detecting if your very tired, get some rest and get refueled!

    Got to be careful burning the midnight oil at our age. Our bodies aren't as forgiving now as they once were. I see your zinc pennies are pretty cancerous.....:ROFLMAO:

    I Received My 6" x 11" DD Viper Vortex Coil And Took It Out For A Couple Of Hunts To Test It Out

    I really like it. Aside from getting closer to playground equipment and tight spaces, the audio is very crisp/sharp and reminds me a lot of the old analog metal detectors. As is usually the case, smaller coils can give better ID as they don't have to deal with as much mass of material...

    Here Are May's Totals.....I Have Found Enough Coins To Purchase Nearly 2 Grams Of Gold.

    I am home bound today. I am waiting for some workers to show up and install a new dryer vent to the outside of my house. So I thought I'd post my finds a day earlier. I did well with the coins. Finding a drained pond and digging up many coins from people tossing coins to make a wish. Some of...
