    Okay all you jewelry experts.....

    I found a really nice necklace today near a school. It's a large pink stone that may be an Amythest and the clasp on the chain it marked "4K". Is there such a thing as 4K? I never heard of such a thing. I checked very carefully to make sure it wasnt 14, but it definately says 4. So set me...

    Strange find for a 1964 quarter

    Went to a park that I hadn't been to for a long time. I don't check it often because it's kinda on the edge of town and surrounded on three sides by industrial property. I always thought it was a strange place for a park with very few house around, but I guess the city puts them where they...

    Propointer is back!!

    All of you guys were right on with the 10 day estimate. I sent it back on the 18th and it was back on the 27th. Outstanding in my book. The yellow Garrett logo on the side was starting to wear off and they even repainted it! They never called and asked for money and there was no bill with...

    Still waiting.....

    I sent my ProPointer back to Garrett last week and the one question I forgot to ask was how long it would take. They said that they would call with an estimate when they looked it over but I haven't heard from them yet. Anybody know how long they take these days? Sure miss that thing. MrGee

    woe is me!

    I had to send my ProPointer back for repair today. Went out along the riverbank a few days ago and must have gotten water in it. Now what do I do while it's gone??? I don't remember how to function without it anymore. What oh what shall I do? MrGee

    no explaining some people

    A week ago the local bargain bulletin had an ad from a woman who lost her wedding ring in a local park. I thought about it for a while and called her. I introduced myself and offered to spend an hour or two searching the area. She said she would get back to me when she had time. That was...

    Need some help from you "old timers"

    Given an Ace 250 with a sniper coil, what effect would passing the coil over a magnet have? Found a signal in wood chips, which said it was about 4 inches deep. When I tried to pinpoint it, the detector was completely silent...nothing at all. When I passes the coil over it in a normal...

    question for you guys who have been doing this for years

    I've been using my 250 with the sniper coil for a while now but yesterday I decided to go back to the stock coil for the day. It started going off constantly and in a normal scan, sounded like the pinpoint feature. Even with the sensitivity turned down to one notch, it continued. So, what's...

    Back to my frustrating ball diamond

    Two blocks from my house is what used to be a high school, then a middle school, and now is a senior center/assisted living housing. the school first opened in the 1920s and adjacent to it is a ball diamond. It has been in my mind that there HAS to be some old stuff in there, but i've been...

    Found a silver ring and for a brief moment, gold

    Went to a small town a few miles from home. This town is little more than a wide spot in the road, but for some reason has two parks. Checked the older of the parks and under the swings found what appears to be a silver wedding band. Mens size, plain band and stamped "Sterling". Just...

    no pics, but a nice hunt today

    Went to a park in a neighboring town today. It's a real small park along the riverbank and I intended to cover most of it. Went straight to the tot lot first (get that low hanging fruit, ya know)/ It was over two houirs later that I left the tot lot. I dug 7 quarters, 7 dimes, six nickles...

    Found a couple of interesting medals

    Nothing too exciting, but nice to find these. The first one is a baseball medal of somekind but the only marking is "PDU, taiwan" and 1997. The initials are for a company that sells trophys but I don't see that one listed in their catalog. It was along the street - surprise! next to a ball...

    Ome interseting finds from the weekend

    The ring is stamped .925 and has a nice litle amythest stone in it. It was only about an inch deep, in the edge of the grass behind 3rd base at a balldiamond. It was squashed flat when I pulled it out of the plug. I managed to straighten it a bit but I need one of those tapered rods that...

    Anybody know what this is?

    Found this in my vacant lot today. Seems to be a blade of some sort as the right edge in the first photo is a beveled edge and very sharp for having been in the ground for ?? years. I'm thinking that it might be the blade out of an old wood plane. MrGee

    Two short but intersting hunts today.

    Went out to a little nature center today. It consists of a HUGE red granite rock outcrop. It sticks up probably about 40 feet above the ground and goes on forever. I found a dime, 2 pennys, 2 quarters and 2 snakes. The latter started the **** out of me both times. Cant tell you how long...

    Video posted a couple of days ago

    There was a video posted by "Michigan Metal Detectors", (no other name) in which he found a lapel pin with a circled E in the center. I have an identical one that my Dad left me. He was building aircraft engines in 1940-1942 at Allisons in Indianapolis and the pin was an "excellence" award...

    Found an Irish 1P coin yesterday

    Now some people on here may not believe that an Irish 1P coin is a big deal, but here in NE Wisconsin they gotta be pretty rare. I'll put it next to the Irish 1 pound coin that I found last year. The 1P coin is dated 1980 and was about 3 inches deep in a soccer field. The two coins, by the...

    Sweden moving toward cashless society

    This was the headline from a news story I saw this morning. Makes me shudder. It certainly would bring out hobby to a halt in a hurry. In the story they talk about many businesses who no longer accept cash..(makes me wonder about the fate of banks?) the sad part is, I can see the USA moving...
