    Newspaper Article About THing In New York City

    Metal Detecting In New York City The Sunday (March 29, 2009) edition of the (New York) DAILY NEWS carried an article favorable to our hobby [http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2009/03/29/2009-03-29_new_york_beaches_expect_to_see_more_trea.html]. Here's the text of the article which in the...

    My first "treasured find"

    Hello fellow TH'ers Although I'm a Bounty Hunter owner, this post is for all of you regardless of the brand you use. I hope you don't hold it against me that I sort-of misled you a little with the title. I hope you'll approve after you read my post. My first "treasured find" before I got into...

    OFF TOPIC: My cataract surgery coming up - Have you had one?

    Hello all: It's been a while since I posted or replied here because as Spring ended and Summer was upon us my zeal for detecting slacked off due to my not being to detect in NYC's Central Park which is a treasure haven that is off limits to metal detecting. The other parks where detecting is...

    Aynone have a hack(s) for the Land Star?

    All electronic equipment is subject to modification, usually to improve the performance. That said, has anyone on this forum ventured as far as seeing what they could do with the Land Star? If Yes, what was it that you tried to improve? And if Yes, was it a successful hack or did it result in...

    I prefer diminishing signal to X for pinpointing - more precise

    This is not meant as a put-down or criticism of BH_LANDSTAR's X method/videos for pinpointing. I have NEVER used the X method. I know it's used by many so it's a popular method. However, I find the diminishing signal method superior and less time consuming. It doesn't matter that I...

    TEST: My messages are being removed in another forum

    I have no idea why but my messages are disappearing on the Fisher Forum. I just posted one, I saw it, and minutes later it was gone. I had complained about the problem I'm encountering with email notices from the Fisher Forum on the threads I'm following and requesting email notification when...

    TEST: Something seems to be wrong with FISHER forum

    There seems to be something wrong here on the FISHER forum. I received 9 email announcing replies to the threads I've been following. I simply click on the link of each reply and I would be brought here to the actual thread reply. I was away for a couple of days so today when I decided to...

    I thought there was a new post about the F5 - don't see it.

    After reading the post, below, in the BOUNTY HUNTER forum I came looking for a new post about the F5 since I've been waiting for news about it. But I don't see anything about the F5 in post titles. It is still May 31 and I was told that the F5 would see the light of day in June. Anyone know...

    Hip-Mounting Land Star - Done. UPDATE!

    Hi all: For those of you who followed my original post about hip-mounting the Land Star, here is a recap and the finale. Although we know that the LS and similar models are lightweight, I still had to change arms after about 1/2 hour of swinging. I attempted to hip-mount the control housing...

    Memorial Day - Coney Island - NO MONEY OR GOLD! - Some Photos, though.

    I went to bed last night (really today at 3am!) with visions of gold and coins being attracted by my Land Star's coil calling. Got up at the "break of dawn" (11am since we always get up at noon!). Fantasies are our best bets! The subway ride took almost 2 hours because there was a large group...

    Usual clad, a sort-of nice bracelet and a scare at a local park

    Unlike the old days when any excuse was good enough to go metal detecting in Central Park, just a half-block from my apartment building, since I got back into the hobby in January I don't have the ol' get up and go so certain factors have to come together for me to activate my Land Star...

    TV News a few moments ago: Erosion unearths Surf City munitions

    My wife just called my attention to a news story on Fox News here in NYC about ocean activity eroding the beach(es) and unearthing unexploded ordnance being found in Surf City (NJ) beach. I didn't see or hear the whole thing but I did find an online article about it and here is the URL for it...

    Fisher F5 possibly available beginning of June

    I don't know if anyone else here is waiting for the introduction into the marketplace of the Fisher F5; I am. I'm in the market for a possible new, high tech, detector to replace my current Bounty Hunter Land Star. I'm replacing the LS because it doesn't have 100% DISCRIMINATION. IOW, I want...

    Mostly Silver results from 1979 to about 2000

    These are the approximate amounts of found silver coins, and others, from 1979 to 2000. I spent quite a few hours looking through my calendars which became diaries but at the beginning I didn't bother with daily or, sometimes, monthly entries. There was one year where I didn't make any...

    I dislike arrogance, Fisher arrogance!

    One thing that can be said about Bounty Hunter and that is that they are a helpful, polite bunch. You can call them on their dime (800#) and you can talk to someone that can help you and if they can't they transfer you to someone that can. You can write them an email and they answer promptly...

    No, the Land Star does NOT discriminate. Replacing!

    On another THing forum I received the news I feared: the Land Star does NOT discriminate! A poster said that the DISC/NOTCH control will not eliminate coins and it will continue beeping even with the control advanced to the max. This is not good news and has convinced me to look for a detector...
