    Coins, Crystals, Jewelry - 2019 Finds

    Howdy from Colorado! We are lucky to have relatively good detecting weather this time of year - recently re-focused my digging efforts closer to home staying in the old neighborhood. Mike and I found a corner-lot house built in 1915 recently demolished and graded - so we spent a couple summer...

    New Area Showing Promise

    Hello all, We are finally (as a state) out of a years-long drought, and as a side effect of having this much rain; it seemed like a good idea to try out some new-to-us (but old) ground! Mike and I have had our eyes on this spot for a long time, and recently we decided to test our mettle there...

    First Silvers of the Year!

    Hi All - Haven't posted much lately but I did manage to get a little time to detect in "the old neighborhood" and come up with some shallow keepers - nothing was more than 4" deep! Went back to Tennessee last week for a week of R&R and visiting family - but excessive rain put a damper on any...

    Getting Back into Metal Detecting - Some of my Non-Metal Finds for 2018

    Hello all - Long time no type! I just ordered a new Deus X35 WS4 11" coil lite setup with MI-4 pinpointer. My last detector was an Equinox 800 and it was a fantastic machine for deep and masked coins! Was forced to sell it to pay some bills about a year ago. I really missed METAL detecting! I...

    Meteorite Hunting

    Hello all, I've been invited to search for a strewn field of meteorites where a rancher found the "discovery stone" about a year ago. This location is in a canyon, and very little is known about the original meteorite. This rancher found the space rock WITHOUT a metal detector but didn't...

    Equinox 800 Finds An Old Tribe Among the Iron

    Finally getting some rain in these parts and it's helping to get down to business on the deeper iffies and squeakers.....although every one of the Indians registered correctly from 19-21 and were 7-8" deep. The shallower coins were a surprise - and the 1919 S Wheat was only 6" down. Didn't see...

    Last Week's Haul

    Just a quick post of what the Nox was able to sniff out over about 9-10 hours of hunting time. Found the Merc in some hard-packed dirt surrounded by some deeper aluminum can slaw, as well as 1/4 of a tax token! It was reading 25-28 most of the time but jumped up to the 30s...

    Rental House and a Few Park Hunts This Month

    Have had several good hunts with a grand total of maybe 25 hours with the Equinox 800 so far, and she is definitely a performer! Last night Mike and I hunted a rental house built in 1901 within walking distance of where I live....and the house next to it is also unoccupied at the moment! We...

    Deep Nail Falses....

    I know this may be a $64,000 question but I wanted to see anyway.... Recently dug several deep nails, bolts, screws, etc that IDed somewhat like a higher conductor. If the iron object was round or had a "head" like a bolt the numbers were a little more stable in the low 30's. Nails and other...

    My Turn With the Equinox 800

    Hi all, Haven't posted in a long time but the short of it is...I'm back to swinging and digging again! Recently picked up an Equinox 800 and UPS delivered just in the nick of time before we left for vacation in Memphis. We spent 6 days there and I detected three of those days due to rain and...

    I'm offering a full Deus HF setup here with the 9" round coil, WS5 headphones, and MI-6 pinpointer. Everything is paired and ready to hunt!

    Last Couple of Hunts with the HF Coil

    It's trying to get a little warmer here - February was cold enough to freeze the ground but things are slowly but surely warming up. Paid a visit to a local haunt with the 9" HF coil and scored a few keepers - the "Buffalo and Wheat Sandwich" was an interesting find at "only" 8 inches hiding...

    I have a complete HF Deus v4.1 bundle for sale which includes a nearly new 9" Round HF coil with more than 4 years' warranty remaining. WS5 headphones are also included - these are only several months old and were a warranty replacement from Detector Electronics (thanks again Moe!) MI-6...

    Foil?

    How does the Equinox react to our favorite friend - aluminum? I'm talking about the smashed foil balls and gum wrapper type stuff at depth....I realize it's a vague question but my HF coil really likes the stuff! There are several old parks nearby that have given up all kinds of deep coins and...

    XP DEUS 11" Coil, coil cover, lower rod assembly

    Bought this in March 2016 - so there's 3 years and 5 months remaining warranty. I have a 9" HF coil now and don't see the need for 2 coils! This is for the coil, coil cover, and lower rod assembly only! $340 shipped to continental US Thank you!

    Getting a Handle on the HF Coil....13,333Hz Hunt

    Mike and I got out the other night to one of our usual haunts that still coughs up 100-year-old plus coins most of the time...after last hunt using the 9" HF coil in 28.8kHz, I felt that a lower frequency would help me dig not as many foil balls this time around. Well, in short, it was sucessful...

    Took the 9" HF Round Out to Play

    Got out with the HF coil the other night and tested its mettle on some heavily hunted ground...First thing I noticed is how alive the ground is with targets again! I'd hoped this would be the case with this coil, and it was...but most of the signals dug were various sizes of foil balls, some...

    First Hunt with 9" Round HF Coil

    Have been itching to spend some hours swinging the new 9" HF round coil all week, and last night I got the chance! Spent 3 hours total around my front yard and in the sidewalk strips seeing what was what - and was really pleased with the results. Started in the coin garden - an area of...

    Charging 9" HF coil

    When charging the 9" HF coil, does the light come on like the other LF coils? I tried charging it last night and couldn't tell if I was making the connection, and the solid LED never came on....

    HF Coils and Gold Coins - Discussion

    So I've lived in Colorado for over 2 years now, and have dug hundreds of deep (6-10") coins from several local spots in that time. The conventional approach to deep coin hunting in this environment has been using 4kHz with the 11" coil, which helps get through the mineralization and ID iron for...
