    More finds at the low lake beach in Switzerland

    Still more finds including 5 silvers. Looking for the gold to pop out. Swiss Franc is about $1.20 so a 5 franc coin in 5 bucks.

    Record Low Water levels in Europe equal great hunting opportunities!

    I think metal detecting is becoming a dying hobby ....

    Still lots to be found. Just need to do research. Most old homes have never been searched, and the best finds are there

    I like the 5"x8" coil more than the 9" for my Manticore...Tell me I'm wrong

    Seems to work better for me in trashy areas, and it is heavier than the 9" and works well under water Anybody having both the like the 9' better? Why?

    Manticore battery life.

    Take one of the 10 dollar back up batteries with a USB and plug it in. I use rubber bands to attach it, or use it at a break. Will charge 50 % in 30 mins

    Some reflections on the current state of silver coin hunting

    the manticore is much better at separation that earlier detectors and that is the secret to more finds now. Dimes might be on the limit of detection, but not many other silver coins.

    Manticore headphones won’t charge???

    Silver shortage

    So, yes the silver has dropped way off. I remember hunting a small part of a Boy Scout camp when I was 18 in the 1980's and my friend and I found over $25 of silver alone. There is still plenty of out there, The Manticore allows you to hunt next to concrete walls with rods in it and poles...
