    A Prince among Detectorists!

    Yep, I mean YOU Joel of Winnipeg! LOL! Today I recieved an unexpected and unsolicited Canadian Care Package from Joel. As it had been nearly 4 decades since my last visit to the cold country, I much enjoyed seeing and holding todays Canadian coinage. Thank you kind sir! By the way Joel...

    Free for the asking!

    Hey Folks, This may not be the best place to post this but I like this forum and the folks here. LOL! I have a quantity of stamps that my father collected over the years. Most from the 1950's. Lots of plate blocks. Not worth a lot of money but might be of value to a youngster or a...

    All new "Treasure Hunt" game!

    Welcome Folks! This is a treasure hunt based on the following: In April 1962, the Parkerville City Park Department built a 10' x 15' wooden snack shack in the center of the Parkerville City Park. This was a full two years before Charles Garrett introduced his first metal detector. This...

    You guys interested in a Treasure Hunt game?

    Hi Folks, I love Uncle Willies guess the coins in the jar game, but I had the idea to try something more like detecting. I call it Treasure Hunt. Probably not an original idea, but I'm working out the details of a "TREASURE HUNT" game that we can do here. I just ordered a few prize coins...

    2011 Redbook for Coins

    Hey Folks, No affiliation, but I just noticed Wallyworld (Walmart) carries the 2011 hardback Redbook for $11.00. Thats a better price than I've seen elsewhere. For another $.97, you can order it on line and save your gas. LOL! Warm regards, Jim

    Wife just helped gent out at gas station

    Hey Folks, The wife ran up to the station to get some smokes. (I havn't broken her yet.) Gentleman was trying to buy gas but they wouldn't take his "silver dollars". The wife had 4 singles in her change so she "kindlly" took 4. LOL. Anyhow, she came in and said since I was so into coins...

    Need straight skinny on selling key date wheaties

    Hey Folks, Too hot to dig this weekend so for giggles I went through my penny jar as well as some carded wheats to see what I had. I was surprised to see that I had a number of "Key Dates" including a very nice 1909 S as well as a number of other pricey key dates. In the case of detected/dug...

    Cleaning a coin?

    Hi Folks, Don't know how it got here, but I dug this English Cent from under a large root of an old oak tree. Somehow I managed not to scratch it. I did the usual checking to see if it had any inherent value. It was currently worth about the price of a Whopper Junior, coke and fries LOL...

    All headphones are NOT created equal!

    Hey Folks, Just a heads up on headphones from my limited experience. The ones that came with my Ace 250 were very light and didn't fit well. I had a heavy pair of full coverage am/fm safety phones. I just plugged in a cord and left them turned off and have been enjoying much better hearing...

    Ace 250 wireless headphones

    Hi Folks, A google search on wireless headphones for metal detectors will turn up countless threads on numerous sites. However, some swear by a particular set up where as others swear at it. LOL! Not a great deal of consistency in the reports. There was a Radio Shack model which was...

    Anyone have business cards for detecting?

    Hi Folks, I was thinking that when requesting permission to detect a new property, it would be nice to have a business card to give them with contact info. Today it's pretty easy to make up a small batch on your computer for a few bucks. Does anyone have any examples they would like to show...

    Silver or bust!!!

    Well, before going out in the yard this evening to swing my recently aquired Ace 250 for a while, I told my wife I wouldn't be back until I struck silver. The property was settled in 1853 prior to the War of Northern Agression, (lol), but my best finds had been a few silver rosies and a long...

    A couple of "Whatzits" for your perusal!

    Hello Folks, The property we live on was first settled in 1853. I've just started swinging again after a layoff of a couple of decades. I picked up a Garrett Ace 250 and I'm starting to get the hang of it. In addition to some rosies, a wheatie and a memorial, I picked up the following...

    More Clothes line

    Hi Folks, Still working the clothesline area. Lots of iron. After cleaning a small area of trash I made another pass and picked up another rosie. LOL! Thanks Dahut, your suggestions seem to be working. It's time consuming but then again, I'm retired! LOL! All the fresh air and sunshine I...

    Clothes line saves the day!

    Hi Folks, Just got my ACE 250 from Kellyco. Spent about 90 minutes in the yard . Property predates the civil war, however, at least two houses have burned down here and there is trash galore. After spending an hour digging rust, tin, and aluminium, I remembered the old clothes line. I quickly...

    Greetings, returning to the hobby

    Hi Folks, I got into the hobby 20 years ago with a little Treasure Hunter TR, then a small Bounty Hunter. Got lucky a few times but never met any other MDers or learned much about the hobby.! Now, through the magic of the internet, I've found this fine site and tons of helpful folks. After...
