    Interesting finds, part4

    This a real cheap kids ring, only about a step up from a Cracker Jack prize. Someone told me it was given to kids at their first communion or catecism or some such thing. Can't say that I know much about that. I thought it was interesting in that it has a different image on the inside of...

    Interesting finds, part3

    I found this just tonight in the infield at a ball diamond. It is one of the fabled "sleigh bells" - a harness bell. It's brass and it still rings when you shake it. I really like this find. MrGee

    Interesting finds, part2

    This token is from a hotel that was torn down in the 1950's. No idea what the date of the token might be. Ladies at the local museum didn't have any info on it but I talked to an elderly lady who remembered having dances there "during the war".

    Interesting finds from this week

    You've all seen the trash and the clad and you've even seen the Mercs, Buffalos, etc. What you havent seen are the fun things. This first one is a shootin' iron that I found. It was pretty crusty looking when it came out of the ground but I soaked it in lemon juice overnight and it cleaned up...

    My silver ring from earlier this week

    It's a girls ring -again- it will fit my little finger up to the knuckle, so it's small, but a nice ring. The stone is cracked though. The inside in worn almost smooth. You can see where the stamping was, but it''s pretty much worn off. But it is silver!

    My snake eyes ring

    Cheap kids ring, a step up from a Cracker Jack prize, but kinda fun. Cant compete with John-Edmonton's death head ring, but fun anyhow. Found it in straight away center field in a baseball diamond.

    What's the best otion

    which would be the better choice for my next purchase for the Ace250 - the 9x12 coil or the double D coil? I don't see the double D on Garretts list of accesories yet but I presume that it will get posted when they begin to catch up with initial demands. How would the bigger coil effect...

    Neighbors yard

    Last May I went over my neighbors yard. That's where I found my 1836 Large Cent, a buffalo and a couple of Kennedy halves. He approached me about doing it again and I was most agreeable to firing up the Ace. Dug up a lot of rusty nails and other trash but last night I found a silver and...

    My best pocket spill yet

    doing the sidelines of the middle school football field and got a signal that bounced between dime and quarter. Before I got done that hole gave up 17 coins....starting with 5 quarters. The only downer was that they were all from the '80's and 90's. but I was mightily pleased even if they...

    Is this a company logo?

    Hi - I came over from one of the other forums because those guys are no help on this one. Is this a logo or trademark from some company? Perhaps a clothing company? I've found 3 of these in different locations around town, so it must be fairly common but I never have noticed one in use...

    Found this this afternoon...

    Now, it's not what you think. It's a wrestling medal and since it appears to be bronze, I'm guessing someones third place medal. Too heavy and nice to be just a decotative medallion. I found it late his afternoon at the edge of the middle school athletic field -- close to the street.

    Anybody know what this is?

    Found three of these at three seperate locations around town a few weeks apart. They have the remains of a hook on top, like a pendant or medallion would have. Anybody recognize it as a logo or trademark of some company? I was thinking some clothing line or something that kids would...

    Attn field testers and guru's of knowledge

    It's pouring down rain today so no work and no detecting, so in my boredom I have a question for you guys. If I buy the double D coil, what can I expect in performance compared to the 250 standard coil? How about the Sniper? Will the double D peek down deeper? More or less accurate in...

    question about Garretts arm strap

    Does anybody use the arm strap? I've never used it because I lay down and pick up the detector so many times during a hunt that it would be a major hinderance. Just wondered if anybody uses it. Maybe a need some kid to dig the targets that I locate, then I wouldn't have to lay the detector...
