    Costco Merc

    I recently moved to O'ahu on a shoestring budget to take a new job and I had to leave a lot of things in storage on the mainland (for the time being.) That included my metal detector and other equipment. I'm mostly an old coin and historical artifact hunter, rather than a jewelry beach-comer, so...

    Flintlock Surprise

    With this crazy, unseasonably warm weather here in Ohio, I got out yesterday to hunt a property that has yielded me some nice finds in the past. I noticed that one of the local maps I've dug up (1874) shows another spur on the old road that crosses the swampy, now-forested area. I found a...

    A Pair of Rings with a Pair of Coils

    I thought I'd post this in the X-Terra forum, rather than the "Today's Finds," so people curious about the equipment can better find it. (X-Terra 705 w/ two LF coils) Last night I hit a disused beach (c. 1960s - 1990 ), since the water levels at the lake are down at least a couple of feet more...

    Standing Liberty Quarter (First)

    I had a little time the other day, so I walked three houses up from mine to a home/apartments on a small town lot that I have permission to hunt. Last fall yielded two nice Barber quarters in the front yard, but I haven't done much hunting in the back due to a nearby electric fence. It generates...

    First Barber Dime

    It was such a beautiful morning (finally!), that I had to get out for a little while, despite the mountain of work I have piled up to do this weekend. I headed to a nearby property a friend of the family gave me permission to hunt last year, the site of a grist mill from the late 1700s. The old...

    First Seated Liberty Dime (1878 non-CC)

    Another one to check off the list. Found it at one of my regular sites (active beach 1870s - 1920s, now forest). Condition is pretty bad, but hey, it's my first seated dime! Once again, the 15" 3khz WOT earns its place as a dime mega-magnet. This coin was about two inches deep, on edge, in a...

    First Hunt 2015: BSA Ring and Ohio Seal Button (ID?)

    Finally got out today (first time in 2015!) to hunt for a couple of hours. Found a handful of modern coinage and a couple of older pieces at one of my regular haunts. I finally found my first non-costume ring with the Minelab X-Terra 705 that I got last summer. Read a rock solid '40' with the...

    Thoughts on the 15" Coiltek All-Terrain (WOT) Coil at 3kHz

    (Cross posted on the Treasurenet forum, but thought it'd be helpful to post here as well for other X-Terra owners.) I had an X-Terra 705 and the 3kHz 6" Digger coil, which is terrific, and decided I'd like a big 3kHz coil to hopefully recover some deeper targets. I am one of those people who...

    WTB: Coiltek All-Terrain (WOT) 15" DD Coil for X-Terra

    Preferably the 3khz coil, but will also consider the 18.75khz or 7.5khz if the price is right.

    Indian Head, Odd VDI, 705+Digger Question

    So I have a well-hidden-away site in now-dense woods by a lake that used to be a popular swimming beach, up until about the 1920s. It yielded my first silver with my new X-Terra 705 + 3Khz DD Digger coil -- a 1917D Walking Half in great condition, what a whopper! -- and a couple of subsequent...
