    Anybody ever find a buried jar of coins???

    I just thought I'd liven things up a bit with that question, but in all honesty, that or finding any kind of gold coins are my two "dream finds". I met a person years ago, who told me that their grandfather or someone in their family used to bury coins in jars around the house somewhere. I...

    Tools! Tools! Tools!

    How's everybody doing! I just wanted to say that I was browsing around the hand tool section today at Home Depot, looking for a new hand pick and shovel and I spied a really neat looking piece that had a serrated edge on one side and a knife type blade on the other side. I think it's called a...

    Should I calulk the coil cover or not????

    Ok, I'm back again with the "should I put scilicone caulking around the edge of the coil cover or not", question. I have to admit, I really believe that getting wet, salty sand under the cover makes it "start to freak out, noise, and sporatic, noise wise", and since I read that post from the...

    Headphone verdict?

    Alright, I hate this headphone problem thing:| You know I'm just (venting) here, but it seems that the verdict on this last "headphone episode", we're having here, at least as far as I'm concerned is: Possibley some kind of Grey Ghost phone, or that one from Sun Ray that the guy from New...

    Don't forget the old posts, their fun and full of info!

    This is just a reminder from "dingong boy", you know the guy that thought he knew so much about the Quatro, but hasn't yet found anything worth posting picture wise. I'm ashamed of that, by the way, but "I ain't givin up yet", by any means. I'm finally trying to get a little methodical about...

    Gee, where is everybody? I'm getting lonesome out here:(

    I bet your all Christmas shopping and getting ready for a new run at it after the first of the year. I know I am. I'm pretty busy these days, and hope to get back into the "swing" of things, after the first of the year. Again, Merry Christmas to everyone, and I hope you all get an Excallibur...

    Does all Metal Mode go deeper?

    I just read in one of Charles Garrett's books where he said that you could go a little deeper in All Metal Mode. Well that got my attention, along with some other stuff I've been seeing here on the forum about all metal. Apparently we can possibly separate the trash, or at least see a good...

    Anyone find anything lately?

    Hi, I guess we're all in kind of a lull this weak. Don't tell me. You (and I) don't have time to go out hunting cause we need to be doing the Christmas thing.?:| Gee whiz, I just thought of that all on my own.:crazy:I guess it's not Rocket Science though. Well, I hope everyone has a nice...

    Well I finally found something cool!!:

    Ok Golden, you gotta help me on this one!:shocked::surrender::|I went to a place where they just tore down some old houses, and started hunting. Well, I only found one fairly new nickel, and a few house orniments, but I found this old medalian, ( I guess you'd call it) that was dated Oct. 8...

    15" WOT, Double D coil, looking for info?

    I pretty much had my eye on a 14" excellerator coil, but I just recently ran across an ad in the Dixie Metal Detector web site for these WOT coils. I just wonder if anyone out there has any experience with one or could possibly compare it with the excellerator 14". Thanks, Marc Trainor.

    Just a "settings" thought.

    This is for the newcomers or some of us "old guys", like me, who either are still new or havn't done their homework enough. I can't believe it, but I may have been hunting in coin mode on the beach, for the last year or two, and I just realized that the factory preset on coin mode "notches...

    I got an idea, but......

    I'm not sure if it's too "hairbrain" or not. This is partly an excuse to say that my Koss headphones have a short in them right where the cord meets the headphone, and I'm still leary of trying to take them apart to try and fix it. Last time I did that with a pair of phones, I never could get...

    Hey Angela, guess what??, I finally got it back.:twodetecting::clapping::crazy:

    I'm talking about "The Big Blue Meanie". I just wanted to share it with you all that I finally got my Quatro out of hock. Pretty shamefull thing to do to hock a detector like that, but I was pretty desperate at the time. But, unless circumstances get pretty darn dire, and I don't plan better...

    Headphone problems.

    I just remembered that one of the sides of my earpieces was shorting out. I'm pretty techniclly oriented, but.... the last time I tried to take a pair of headphones apart, they really "came apart". They don't put these things together like a rear wheel bike hub or something, where it's solid...

    What kind of scoop do you get??????

    Ok, ok, ok, I should know better. I've been at this for quite a while, but I'm seriously thinking of upgrading to a new scoop. The one I have is the "good old" hand scoop with the holes in it to let the sand run out, (we're talking beach here) and it works great in "dry" sand, but not too hot...

    Do I D A R E throw the electrodes on a wheat back???

    You know I just g o t t a rag on you guys just a little, but seriously, this coin cleaning business is flat starting to p--- me off. I seems like the only SAFE way to clean coins is olive oil, soap, etc. , but the only thing that's ever worked for me is the electrolysis method, but I keep...

    What number does a silver dollar read???

    Nothin serious here. I was over at the dog park the other day with the dog and the Quatro, and I started talking to this guy about the detector and what it would do and all and he whipped out a 1900 silver dollar and dragged it across the coil and guess what it read. 32. Wow, I thought it...

    Viper, (water machine) by Cobra. Any info???

    What's up with this bad boy??? Kellyco sent me an email advertising it and it looked very interesting for the price so I called them. The girl, (out of character for Kellyco) acted like I was from another planet then said, Oh yea, we're out of them till October so call us back for a price. At...

    Viper, water unit by Cobra?!?!? Any info??????

    Hey, hey, hey. I almost got excited today. (That's a big deal for me this week) I got an email from Kellyco about this new unit by Cobra called a Viper. Looked pretty good, (and cheap) so I called Kelly co and the girl there at first acted like I was from Pluto, but then said, oh yea, we're...
