    Can anybody tell me what type of case this is?

    What I know about this is: The land was used by the Military from 1880-1890. I am pretty sure the case part is Copper. It measures just over 2 inches. (2-1/16") I am thinking that it is an early Tin-Type case of some sort??? Whatever it housed is solid rust. I nicked the case and...

    Iffy Signals Part Two

    As a follow-up to my post yesterday "understanding iffy signals" I decided to do a short hunt last evening. I hunted a site where I was just at two weeks ago and found an 1887 IH and a 39 wheatie. I told myself that I would dig every signal that was not flat out IRON as a test. I am...

    Understanding the Iffy Signal Warble Explorer Battle Cry

    I think the whole Iffy Signal & Warble sound is starting to make alot of sense to me now more than ever- especially after my last hunt. Up til now, I figured those iffy signals were all trash items....and I have to wonder how many coins I missed because I assumed they were junk :crazy: Last...

    Explorer Sensitivity Issue- anyone else had this happen?

    I have the Explorer II, and just purchased the Pro coil..... I was SO EXCITED to try it out last Friday but I ran into a problem. It seemed to work OK for about 10 minutes then all of the sudden the falsing/chirping started increasing. So, I turned down the sensitivity from 21 gradually (it...

    My Second Barber Dime...Still searching for a Merc.

    I came across a small really old looking house with weeds growing like crazy...so I offered to mow the weeds in exchange for my being able to hunt the front yard. One of the two really old men living there proceeds to tell me that I will not find anything because back in 1985, they removed 5...

    Explorer II Makes me even Prouder Part II

    Last week I had posted my find of the Very Nice 1897-O Barber Dime that I found using my Explorer II Without this wonderful and AWESOME detector I would have never found this, or my second coin. I went back and searched the pile of dirt that was scraped from under the sidewalk and grassy...

    The Explorer II makes me Proud

    I had been a user of White's detectors...and I like them for simplicity reasons, but had I been using mine....I fear that I would not have found this dime...as there were TONS of rusty nails very close and all around.... Funny how alot of those nails change to semi-good target readings after...
