    SEFcoil cord - too fat I'm a bit miffed :veryangry:

    Ok, I'm a tad disgruntled with two new SEF coils I just purchased and I'm wondering if it is something everyone experiences, or if perhaps the latest batch Kellyco received in was slightly out of spec. To start I've owned and loved detecting with my 12X15 SEF coil for the past year. Because I...

Thanks for Findmall for letting me drop their name to get free shipping, and thanks for Erik in NJ for posting it on a thread a while...

    3rd trip to new honey hole - more silver and the beatles!

    Woke up very early Saturday and went back to the parsonage. I decided to hit the back and side yard at a different angle, again, while the pastor is away on vacation. I detected for about 3 hours, the first signal I dug was the silver rosie. It kept me going the remainder of the morning. The...

    2nd trip to new honey hole - more silver

    Well, my last post was a 4 hour hunt at a new site that yielded 3 silver and a bunch of intersting finds. If you remember, last year I detected my church yard, this year I'm detecting the parsonage property. I went after work on Friday, so this time out I only had 2 hours. I did not hunt the...

    4 hour hunt at new site yields some silver and other goodies

    Well, last year my honey hole was my church yard. I found around 20 pieces of silver, tons of wheaties, and a bunch of IH pennys, along with some cool items. Well I finally managed to overcome my nerves and ask the pastor if I could detect on the rectory/parsonage. Not sure why I was sweating...

    US Great Seal button

    Went back to a school I've had luck finding silver dimes and quarters at. I also found an eagle button with two leaves in its claws, but not a great seal button. Well this time out I found a great seal button, in pretty nice shape. I decided not to use amonia on it to remove the green...

    2 cents and a dollar!

    Went back to a trashy 1850's house I have an open invitation to detect. My last time there I found a silver washington quarter. Like with many older houses that have been lived in continuously it's harder to find the older items. I lucked out today and found my first 2 cent piece and my first...

    Two questions for you X-1 users

    The first one, does anyone have a problem where regardless of what sensitivity you have your detector set at, manual or semi-auto, the X-1 will sound off/false with barely any shaking of it? I haven't totally isolated the conditions, but I think humid or moist days my X-1 is pretty much...

    Eagle button - date and type? Help!

    I was hoping someone might be able to ID this button. Is it military issue? Is so, from what time period? What branch of the armes services? Any information would be greatly appreciated. As you can see by the last picture, the back is a big lump of iron, so not too much additional...

    Eagle button - date and type?

    Hey all, I was wondering if anyone had a good button ID site that they could share, or perhaps know what type of button this is> I don't think it's Civil War era, possibly shortly afterwards? Also, is it a certain branch or the armed services? (the third pic is just to show you that the back...

    06-23 Finds 4th trip to silver quarter site, more silver!!

    So, I got the kid down early one night this week and got permission from the boss to head out and detect. After wasting 30 minutes checking out a new construction site, I end back to my silver quarter site. I didn't get out there until after 8PM, so the pics represent about 1 hour of...

    06-20 Finds 3rd trip to silver quarter site - button ID Help needed

    So this was my 3rd trip out to this site. The first time I detected at random to see what I could see. The 2nd time I started to grid the field, doing strips 10 feet apart trying to get a feel for the layout of the targets. This 3rd time I finished the other half of the field with much more...

    06-07 hunt - return to silver quarter site

    Well, I returned to the place that I found a silver quarter and a lot of neat items late last month. I didn't have a lot of time just about an hour. I did find a neat old AAA Safety Patrol Badge at 12", it sure rang out nice.

    June Finds so far...

    The first hunt pics were at a local elementary school that has produced silver coins in the past. Nothing too major here, but I have plenty of solder if anyone needs it! :) The 2nd hunt was at the "summer" church, for my church. I've had a lot of luck at our main building. This one is down...

    May Finds I never posted

    Three different sites on the same day, was taking a friend around to some of my regular haunts. A slug of a large cent and a cool flat button were the highlight of the day. The old mongrammed ring was an interesting find in my own back yard. I was talking to my neighbor about it later and...

    April Finds I never posted

    This hunt was over on a hill near by me. Most of the finds were just under the leaves a few inches down. It's amazing how oldies don't sink very far in the deep woods. My first wedding band, even if it is just a copper one. It's still pretty old.

    Long Island Hunting?

    Next Friday I'm driving my Mom to Long Island to visit her sister. They just gab a lot, so I'm going to have a bunch of down time. I'm thinking about making the effort to do a little detecting. Any of you Long Islanders have any advice? I believe I need a permit, is it worth paying the fee...

    Camp Finds

    Last Saturday I detected at an old camp with some fellow YTC's. The camp is no longer in use, but has numerous buildings remaining. I believe the camp was in operation for 2 different periods of time, the first during the 1800's. Some of my fellow detectorists found some stuff from that era...

    How NOT to find two IH Pennies in one day

    So, last Friday I took my lunch break over at a park down the road. It dates back to the early 1900's and I've heard that some silver has come out of it. Most of my forays to it previously I've just found clad and junk. I ended up detecting an open area going up a hill to one side of the park...
