    Coil Eartags Fixed!

    Since it was raining today, DH worked on my broken 3KHZ coil. First he drew a paper pattern from a silhouette of an unbroken ear. He used a jig saw to cut material from a black plastic bucket. Then he used a fine tooth scroll saw to cut out the actual repair pieces. He said the ear tags...

    Set of Bridle Conchos

    Dug the first one of these and thought it was off a kids toy or something, then found an identical one. Dug harness rings and buckles near same spot. So was thinking those decorative things they put where the head strap and forehead strap meet below the horses ears on a bridle. After finding...

    Glad i stayed home

    Wanted to go someplace to MD but it was getting late so I decided to detect in the back yard. House was built in 1963 so I always hope to find some silver that was lost before people began hoarding it. But then again, I seem to forget that there was an old farm here before the house...

    Lost 3KHZ concentric coil finally found, but broken

    Yesterday my husband was working in the garage and he moved his welding helmet and my 3KHZ coil was hanging up behind it after being lost for several years. The ear tabs were broken off. I just don't understand how it got broke and how it got stuck behind his helmet. Weird. Any suggestions...

    McLucky today

    Several weeks ago, asked this 79 year old lady to metal detect her yard and she was nice but worried about this that and the other. Stopped at her yard sale last week after I'd been to Taco Bell and took her a steak chalupa and didn't even mention metal detecting. Then this morning I stopped...

    ID bracelet and a key

    Probably my last visit to this 1940 or 50 house where I've found about 5 wheats. These people sure were clean, hardly any trash or tabs in the yard. When I hit the key it sounded off like crazy over a large area. Was thinking a pop can but it was just the key, at a couple of inches. Found...

    Feeling more comfortable with my deus

    Usually only like to dig loud signals but these were making faint signals. A few had TID of 99. Recently made myself learn to manual ground balance and that helped. After watching some videos I can now pronounce the detector's name correctly. Practiced pin pointing and that removed a lot of...

    Pants Parts

    Well I know this isn't very exciting but these rivets and zipper parts came from a long gone 1930 era homestead. What is exciting to me is finding these tiny items with my Deus. Only 2 to 4 inches down but they're so small and getting a good signal; some even had TID number. One rivet is no...

    Deus found something beneath the ground

    Since getting the Deus, my best finds, merc dime and 3 cent piece were found laying on top the ground. Today was different. I wanted to detect at a place that is up for foreclosure and is vacant. First hit I pry up a 4 inch clump of dirt and grass and this big shiny ring is under there. So...

    Three cent piece

    Laying on top the ground like a lot of my recent finds. But the MD would have found it if my eyes hadn't of. The back looks in real good shape. Can't read the date on the front and don't want to mess it up trying because one time I ruined an Indian cent trying to clean it. Red Top flour...

    Must not be anything left

    I'm a fairly new Deus owner and been hunting at my hunted out woods site from mid-thirties. I found two stakes in the ground, they are 29 feet apart 9" long, square with a pounded down head. I've hunted the site a lot and never found these stakes before. No idea what they were for. Have...

    Which coil for finding a ring

    A friend asked me today what I've been doing and when I said metal detecting, her face all lit up. Said she lost her expensive silver ring. Going to go next week sometime and hunt for it and will use the Minelab 705. I have the 9" stock mid freq, 9" 3 kHz concentric, 5" 18 KHZ DD and 5"...

    Do you ever weedeat area before you detect

    I weedeated a portion this morning. Used up the cool morning time temps, so will go back another day give the dead grass time to dry out.

    Finds of the Past Couple Days

    Both of the first two pictures are from the 30's homestead back in our woods. First picture is the second metal stake in the ground that I've found. The second picture is part of a shoe sole, another core sample like one previously found, metal trap part, marble, and a nice piece of pink...

    rusty round iron or steel object

    This came from a 1930's homestead. I've found horseshoes here, so assuming they had a horse and not a car. Guessing this is a ball bearing to a piece of farm equipment.

    Octagon shaped, non-magnetic

    Found this at a very old home site where I've found 1830's coins. It is octagon shaped, very heavy. The center hole has lines which could be rifling if this was part of a gun barrel. But seems like a gun barrel would be iron or steel, this is non-magnetic.

    I must have a Stupid sign

    There's a couple sites I've detected in town and this real friendly guy comes round, to ask what I'm finding as he's a fellow detectorist. The first time he told me about a detector he bought from Kellyco on clearance, a great buy at 99.00. I don't even remember the name of it. Yesterday he...

    I've got Friends in High Places

    Been eying up this place in town where there's old steps and foundation. House must have been torn down a couple years ago because street view google shows an old house there in 2011. I drove up there and asked the neighbor who owned it and the person he named was our state senator. Well okay...

    Method for burying test coins

    Took a metal pipe and wrapped tape around it and measured and marked distances. Then drove the pipe in the ground, to the desired depth and pulled it back out, dropped the coin in. Then used a golf tee to mark how deep it was. All the coins are nickels so it doesn't need to say what it is...
