    Double your cents

    I dont have those stores in NJ but hopefully other stores will join the bandwagon. I see Aldi's has posted a sign saying they will 'round up' if they dont have enough pennies. I never got around to cashing these in. Here's 32 pounds +/- Govmt use to pay$1.50 a pound for rotten zinc's. So...

    Tired of digging can slaw and some other trash with HF2 coil. Looking for gold rings ?

    In England you have 1,000's of years of metal oxidizing in the ground. I set my discrimination where Im not digging too much crap and go. I dig anything that sounds good or not. I had the lousiest signal on a Saxon sceat. Broken weird do to all corrosion. My 1st gold coin, my avatar, 1695...

    Mine was found in a huge gravel spread, I have found a ring or two but have found a few chains, gold & silver.. I dug anything that peeped. Cant tell you the number as the controller is in my pocket. My discrimination is set at 8 on a Deus 2. Many years ago I experienced a very weird...

    Tired of digging can slaw and some other trash with HF2 coil. Looking for gold rings ?

    I must say, I dont dirt dig much as I only live 2 miles from the beach. I can vividly remember each gold ring I found in dirt. Back in my newbie days, I didnt have a meter. Just learned to hunt by sound. I remember someone told me, 'if you're not digging nickels, you're not digging gold' ...

    Tired of digging can slaw and some other trash with HF2 coil. Looking for gold rings ?

    The problem with finding gold rings or and other gold items in dirt, is that it comes in many different karats, different sizes and shapes. Plus all the different minerals in the ground to skew the readings. Last year I found a gold ring in grass at a park. Basically I was just coin...
