    Pulled Out Ring #15 Today, Coins, Medallion, Token And Beautiful Brooch.

    Not a bad day at all with the Vortex VX9. I hit 2 schools. Most of my coins came from school #1 The ring I found today is an exact duplicate of a previous ring......what are the chances? Here's the brooch I dug. When it first came out of the ground, it was a rats-nest of grass and roots. I...

    VORTEX - A Coin Hunter's Dream. June Was My Best Month This Year!

    My best month so far! Why?......Schools done so they are all open for metal detecting plus Canada Day fireworks field where I got lots of one and two dollar coins. And the Vortex is a coin hunter's dream in my opinion. I just love all the information that is shown on the screen. And a great...

    Out To A After fireworks Location This Morning From Last Night. The VX9 Was A True Workhorse

    I got so many one and two dollar coins last night. For 2 hours of detecting, I managed $24.30. The US quarters are so easy to ID. In the high 80's is either a US quarter or a ring. Also scooped up a couple of bracelets and a camera, which I am in the process of trying to locate the owner based...

    Got Ring #14 A Couple Of Days Ago

    Got a couple of hunts in earlier this week. We are getting the hot temperatures up here too. I took the AT MAX out for a water hunt. I found several coins and a thimble. The ring was dug up in a school yard.

    Just Smok'n It With The Vortex 6" x 11" Coil - Silver Dime, Ring #13 Plus So Much Coinage.

    Here's my last 3 hunts. Those one and two dollar coins are so easy to ID with that smaller coil. This should be a good month over-all. A couple of pennies and an earring today. The rest were found in parks. And a bit of flour gold a few days back.

    Pssst...Wanna See What I Bought With Some Of My metal Detecting Coins?

    PSSSST.....Wanna see what I purchased with some of my metal detecting coins and trash pop cans from my NSR prospecting trips? I got a steal of a deal (less then original price from the Canada Mint) on a meteorite coin. I currently have several specimens of meteorites and a couple of meteorite...

    Sometimes Your Finds Can Be Downright "Creepy."

    Headed out yesterday with my buddy for a couple of hours hunting a nearby ravine. I found 19 coins with a total value of $2.65 I found a couple of tokens and an older TIMEX wind-up watch. It's dead! Kind of a creepy find in the tall grass. It's missing it's torso? If only it could...

    Here's Two More Hunts Worth.....Love That 6" x 11" Coil. It's Staying Put On The Shaft.

    This is pretty well one soccer field. I started at one end, and gridded the field. Most coins are closer to the goal area. Some of these coins have been in the ground for some time. Some are so very ugly with rust. I am going to soak them in vinegar at the end of the season and dissolve most of...

    I Received My 6" x 11" DD Viper Vortex Coil And Took It Out For A Couple Of Hunts To Test It Out

    I really like it. Aside from getting closer to playground equipment and tight spaces, the audio is very crisp/sharp and reminds me a lot of the old analog metal detectors. As is usually the case, smaller coils can give better ID as they don't have to deal with as much mass of material...

    Here Are May's Totals.....I Have Found Enough Coins To Purchase Nearly 2 Grams Of Gold.

    I am home bound today. I am waiting for some workers to show up and install a new dryer vent to the outside of my house. So I thought I'd post my finds a day earlier. I did well with the coins. Finding a drained pond and digging up many coins from people tossing coins to make a wish. Some of...

    I Had My Most Productive Coin Shooting Day Yesterday Using The VX9

    Hit one school yard and stayed put all afternoon on Saturday. All the coins were in the top 1", which made it real easy to pop them out using my pin-pointer and screwdriver. It's so sad to see my coinage literally rot from rust as the nickel plating over steel starts to wear off. I heard Trump...

    I Used The Thin Coin Mode Today On The VX9.....It Was Like A Totally Different Machine!

    US coins are so easy to identify......well except the penny. Depends whether it's zinc (or how rotted the zinc is) a recent wheat cent or an Indian head. They ID where they should, be it number, tone or icon. Well, Canadian coins are a plethora of mixed signals, depending on how much wear has...

    Hit 2 Sports Fields And Got Ring #12 For 2025 Plus A Pile Of Coins.

    The North Saskatchewan River in my neck of the woods was rising due to high precipitation and spring runoff in the mountains. That put a hold on gold prospecting. So, I took advantage of this and did some coin searching at some nearby sports fields. It's shaping up to be a good year for coin...

    Got A Coin Bonanza From A Drained Pond Today

    Headed out to a park where they drained a pond. The water was used for canoeing, not for swimming. There were coins all along a dock. I guess people were tossing them in the water to make a wish. The Vortex worked fantastic! The separation was excellent and many coins were within inches of each...

    Out Coin Shooting In A Park Today

    I dug up just under six dollars. Also got some vintage items. I used to save shotgun shells and make rings out of them. The brass shines up real nice.

    First Ring In May On Sunday

    I headed to a nearby school yard for a quick hunt. A couple of two dollar and one one dollar coins really brought up the totals. I got a strong signals in the 70's, probed the target with my screwdriver and out popped a ring! So, that's 11 rings so far with the Vortex so far this year.

    April Totals Using The VX9 - I'm Impressed!

    The Vortex has always proved to be a great coin vacuum since day one. Here's my totals for April. My plan is to purchase a gold coin or nugget at the end of the year with my $$$ totals. It's an annual tradition going back many, many years. I found my first silver coin in April.....several...

    Out With The VX9 This Afternoon And Found A Surprising Amount Of Coins

    Got out to a small park with a tennis court and tot lot. The tot-lot produced one nickel, however the grassy hills surrounding the tot-lot produced the rest of the coins. Even with the current glitches, it is still useable. You just have to give it a 3-4 second rest occasionally when it retains...
