    Treasure at Walmart today

    Got scoop? Half off at Walmart! All plastic of course so it won't register on your detector. Grabbed a couple of them. Same 50-cent price for the pointy digger on the right. See basically the same thing online as a 'metal detecting scoop' for $10+...

    Hunted for train robbery treasure today

    Back in 1895 there was a train robbery south of Willcox Arizona, where the bad guys blew up the safe and half the railroad car it was in, scattering Mexican silver coins all over the desert. I read as much as I could about it and narrowed it down to the exact spot where it happened. Drove out...

    $100,000 and 2 years in jail + restitution

    Interesting sign. Can't even POSSESS a metal detector, so don't even drive from Sierra Vista to Tombstone with one, because you have to pass through this 'Preserve' on the road. Ok, so it's a 'conservation area'....but...tell me exactly what they're trying to conserve out here, scrub desert...

    Legal Agreement for detecting?

    For as many years as metal detecting has been around, I'm surprised no one has come up with some kind of legal agreement form, for detecting on private land, signed by the homeowner/landowner and the person doing the detecting. This could "release the searcher, their agents and associates from...

    I called Minelab....and they didn't know, either...

    Okay, so this might not be exactly the right forum to ask...but... I've been wanting to upgrade from my single frequency detector and am looking at this 'Vanquish Series' model 440 and it says 'Multi IQ Technology'...and I know all the frequencies are used at the same time, there's no picking...

    Found buried in the sand, near the prison

    Was just south of the prison in Florence, Arizona...when the detector screamed like a banshee...so I started digging and it didn't take but a few seconds to pull these prisoner-made license plates out of the ground. All three of them close together. I searched for more, hoping to get a match...

    Good answers

    Good answers to the questions we all get: 'Hey, did you find anything?' 'Not yet, just looking for gas money' Best answer to get rid of people: 'Not yet, just looking for gas money....have you got any spare change?' What are some of the answers you give?

    Meeting Chuck Norris

    Back, way back in the day...when I was much younger...I used to work at a Radisson Hotel...and the staff got word that Chuck Norris was staying there, while he was in town for a book signing event...so I went out and got a couple of stills from 'Invasion USA', hoping to run into him and get it...

    Giving up on permission

    Anyone ever try to deal with City issues about detecting in parks? WOW. :thumbdown: Code says you must obtain a 'permit from the City Chief Engineer' before 'any type of digging', anywhere inside the City Limits...silly me, I actually wasted a few minutes and called the City Chief Engineer to...

    The difference between an 'amateur' and a 'professional'?

    Anyone care to elaborate on what the difference is between an 'amateur' detectorist and a 'professional'? One big valuable find? Years of experience? What makes someone a 'pro'?

    Narrowing the search, looking for the stash

    No GPS back in those days...so where would they hide valuables? Inside the house, they might dig in the corner of the foundation, or under the fireplace to hide money and posessions...outside would be a different story...they might look for a single tall tree in the middle of the field, maybe...

    Detecting Johnny Ringos gravesite

    Just got back in from an all-day drive, down to the gravesite of notorious Wild West outlaw Johnny Ringo, who is buried down in southeast Arizona. I've always wanted to check out the site, and today I made up my mind to just get it done. Although it's on private property, the owner has installed...

    Too many stories

    Too many to post here...but here's the Cliffs Notes Version.. I once quit my job and ran off with a circus for a year (yes, really)...I've walked the cobblestones of Red Square in Moscow, been down inside Lenins Tomb and inside St Basils Cathedral, walked the shores of the Black Sea at...

    Pinpointing with the QD Pro

    During pinpointing with the concentric coils, should I be concentrating my efforts right in the middle of the center coil, or at the top or bottom end? The user manual isn't too clear about that, just want to clear it up.

    Your ultimate metal detector

    Don't get me wrong, I love my Quick Draw Pro, but would love to see: Gorilla Glass capacitive touchscreen (think of all the customizable configurations you could have!) User-accessable, rechargeable, long-life li-ion battery pack (3000+ mAh cellphone battery, perhaps?) A more collapsible...

    Old coffee can at 16" down, inside was...

    Out in the desert yesterday when my detector screamed at me to stop and dig. It was deep, about 14"-16" down...an old coffee can. My mind raced for a second...what's an old coffee can doing way out here, and what's inside? I remembered all the gold coins in California that were found. Stay...
