    Early Morning Hunt Yields a Few Keepers...Gold and Titanium. :)

    Buddy Karl and I hit the 3:30 low tide from 1:30 until about 6 this morning. Tough beach...not many targets. We worked for what we got. We got lucky and found a SMALL concentration of coins and out of that I pulled two rings. Later on, after about 3 blocks of grid-walking up and down and...

    What a Difference a Day Makes! :thumbup:

    I hit the beach Saturday night with Tony and it was pretty bleak. I worked hard for a paltry $1.81 in change and NO BLING. Tony did better on the change but we were both in agreement that apparently the water was too cold for the swimmers we needed to lose some jewelry. Fast forward to last...

    Excelerator 10 x 14 and Explorer SE Snags Me a NICE Find!

    I went out after work today to a site that I have hunted a number of times in the past and come up with some nice Civil War bullets and buttons. It's a field near some woods. Well, it seems they are building some condo units there and the field and the woods are ALL TORN UP! They are clearing...

    First Beach Hunt With 10 x 14 Excelerator Coil

    Sorry, no pictures...just impressions. I've been out several times with the 10 x 14 in the fields and have reported it's a very solid performer. I was interested to see how it did at the beach, in the wet salt sand and shallow water. The answer: Excellent. Our beach here has been pretty dead...

    Hey Max...Or Anybody That's "Upgraded" Their Excal Battery

    I know a few folks on here have gone to Batteries Plus and had the Excal NiCad's upgraded to NiMH. Do they do that with the original battery pod, removing the NiCad's and replacing them, or do they do it with the alkaline pack? Naturally, I woul prefer the original battery pack to be upgraded...

    Farm Field Hunt With The Excelerator 10 x 14

    Hit a well-pounded field today with the SE and the 10 x 14. It was SO windy I was about to get blown down and cold too but we braved it for a while. I got two wheaties, a flat button, and this 1842 Large Cent. I was running the SE at manual 28 and gain at 7. It was well-behaved, even despite...

    First Outing With The 10 x 14 Excelerator

    Hit a farm field today with the SE and the new 10 x 14. It was a new field for me but has been hunted plenty by some others. My buddy Karl was there with his Quattro and 12.5" Excelerator coil. He got a flat button and a Buffalo nickel. I got two wheats, two buttons, and a musketball. The...

    A Few Pics Of The Excelerator 10" x 14" Coil For Those Interested

    Got the 10 x 14 today. Sure is a nice looking and well made coil. Feels good on the machine, pinpoints and ID's well. Tomorrow I will do some real-world hunting with it. Here's a few shots. Shown with the stock 10.5" for comparison. [attachment 55169 10x14Small.jpg] [attachment 55170...

    My Old Girlfriend Kissed Me Today

    I shouldn't have been surprised...she's done it many times before. But we haven't been spending much "quality time" together lately. Not since I got my new "black beauty", the Explorer SE. But today I decided to give the old CZ-70 a whirl. Probably because the weather called for rain and...

    Wow...Guess I Missed The Change In Private Message Policy!

    I just noticed I have room for 114 more messages. I've been having to keep close watch and constantly delete older ones I was saving to make room for more. It's nice to have a little more "headroom". :thumbup:

    Hey NH Bob Or Any Copper Coin Gurus...Can Anybody ID This???

    I was out hunting a farm field today with my Quattro buddy Karl and he found this copper. It's a little bigger than a Large Cent and a tad thicker...I have several LC's and compared it...I think it's a Colonial Copper. I used a little Blue Ribbon coin cleaner to get it to where it is...

    Can Anybody ID This Button?

    Me and a buddy were doing some farm field hunting yesterday and he dug the two buttons shown here. I know the Great Seal button but what is the button with the script "P" on it? Here are some pics, for what you can make out. The backmarks are poor. Any help appreciated! [attachment 48725...

    Hit The Farm Field Again Today

    With the SE and the 12.5" Excelerator coil. Had a fair day, though now silver this time. My buddy Karl with my old Quattro actually out-hunted me, which was cool...good to see him really coming on strong with the machine as he gets to know it. He snagged two nice buttons and a 1945 quarter...

    New 2007 Dollar Coin Info...

    We all know they're out. We're all hoping they'll catch on. Looks like another loser to me, although I DO like it just a little more than the Sacka-jo-momma dollar or the Susan B. Still, it's a cheap LOOKING coin. And I'm sure that the cheap gold-colored coating will NOT hold up well...

    A Couple Pieces Of Silver From Yesterday...

    My buddy Karl and I hit a farm field for a few hours yesterday morning. I was using my Explorer SE with the 12.5" coil and Karl was using his Quattro (that used to be mine) with the stock 10.5" coil. I got two wheaties and Karl got a wheatie and a flat button. In the silver department, I got a...

    Anybody Thought About This?

    The new one-dollar US coins featuring presidents are going to start shipping soon. I doubt we will see widespread acceptance of them, much like the other attempts. I'm sure there will be lots of HOARDING going on, but wouldn't it be nice if they DID catch on??? For SPENDING??? Because I...

    Farm Field Hunting With The SE Today...

    ...with the 12.5" Excelerator coil, manual 25. It was a beautiful day out, if not a little cold. Nice day for so slow row-walking in a BIG bean field. Some pics... Five wheaties, an 1885 Indian, 18-something Large Cent, 1830's Naval button, a fired 3-ringer mini, and some coin parts...
