    CTX 3030 Maiden Voyage

    My first hunt with the new Minelab CTX 3030. I purposely chose a field laden with iron in order to test the new target trace and target separation. I wasn't disappointed; coming home with 2 silver dimes, 1 silver ring, and one copper religious cross. I was able to film couple examples of Target...

    Minelab USA service center

    Attended my local metal detecting club meeting this evening, and a Whites dealer mentioned that Minelab's USA service center in Las Vegas had been closed. Does anyone have any information to confirm that? Thanks -Alex

    Best Record - 7 silvers in one hunt

    I'm finally on the boards this year, bringing home 7-silvers in one hunt from Golden Gate Park. This surpasses my personal best from last year, when I pulled 3-silvers from another park in San Francisco. I started out early in the morning, finding a 1925? Merc next to an old tree using my 6" SEF...

    At last - I found the elusive Barber!

    Last week I had the pleasure of hunting with a couple E-Trac users at Golden Gate Park (GGP). It was great fun and I really appreciate their hospitality. I did ok that day, with a nice Mills Novelty Slot Machine Token, a silver war nickel (1943 D), a 1957 English Half Penny, and a few wheat...

    Two Eagle Buttons from GGP

    I found two eagle buttons yesterday in Golden Gate Park. I haven't found any military relics before so this was pretty exciting. The backs read Thos G Hood Phil, and the style dates from 1875-1902, Army, General Service. Not a lot of info on the maker other than they were a prominent dry goods...

    My silver spot produced another Mercury Dime

    Hey Guys, I decided to go back to the same spot that has produced the majority of my silver this year. After finding this 1923 Mecury dime yesterday (my oldest silver so far) :clapping: , I'm now up to 9 silvers from this spot alone . I also found 2 wheat backs, 1957D, and 1958. I started out...

    October key finds

    Sorry for the delay in posting my finds this month. Its been a busy one at work, and each hunt didn't find enough to post stand alone, so I decided to put a few hunts together in the same post. The three Rosies 1958 D, 1962 D, 1964 D are from the same park that I found the two silver quarters...

    Pro Coil Metal Detecting Tricks (part 1)

    Neswiper has just published a new video showing his approach to finding good targets next to iron using the pro-coil. I didn't realize that the E-trac pinpointer will not pinpoint a nail "easily" in normal mode, and he uses this characteristic to locate the target next to the nail. Then he...

    Best Hunt Yet - Etrac find record # oldies

    My silver streak is still alive after this weekend, with a banner hunt that I won't forget for some time. I went to the same park where I had found the two silver Washington quarters I posted these past two weekends. But I have hesitated to hunt this area within the park, because it is very...

    Silver Washington (again!)

    I went to the same site with my E-Trac where I found the 1936 Washington quarter the other day. I found very few coins the last time, so I kept my expectations low hoping for a wheat cent or silver dime at best. It was fairly late into the hunt and as expected just a 1957 D wheat cent so far...

    My first silver quarter and other interesting items

    I decided to give Golden Gate Park a rest today and ventured over to another park that I had scouted some time back. Well I wasn't disappointed because in less than an hour into the hunt I found my first ever silver Washington quarter (1936 P). That was the first and last of the old coins, but I...

    First silver ring and possible meteorite

    Well my wheat cent streak is over after 8 hunts :cry: . But I'm not crying cause I found my first silver ring today :clapping: retrieved from Golden Gate Park. I also found a possible meteorite that requires further inspection before I can be positively sure. Otherwise nothing too old this...

    1964 Kennedy Silver Half

    After getting skunked on silver again yesterday at Golden Gate Park, I felt it was time for a change of venue. So I picked an old ball field, and headed out bright and early this morning. Well I wasn't disappointed, because my second target of the day was a 1964 Kennedy Half! After a very long...

    Sat. finds near Golden Gate Park

    Yesterday certainly boosted my confidence a bit. I was on my way to GGP when I noticed a spot that looked old and perhaps less pounded. I didn't find any silver coins, so its likely someones hitting it though. It was a good choice as I ended up surpassing my wheat cent record by recovering 5...

    Saturday hunt at Golden Gate Park, San Francisco

    Hi All, Sorry for my gap in posting, but frankly I kept hoping to find a silver coin or something worthwhile to post. Alas no silver but this past Saturday turned into a 7-hour detecting marathon at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. I recovered 133 coins, including one Canadian penny, 1 wheat...

    When auto sensitivity drops below 10

    Guys, I went to a new site today where I couldn't get my auto sensitivity to go above 10 in most places. No grass, just fine sandy soil, holding up a lot of old tall trees. Is this a characteristic of heavy mineralization? Thanks -Alex

    Where to find old coins in hunted out parks?

    I purchased my E-Trac in January, and since then I've been hitting the city parks on weekends that date back to the early 1900s. While my clad count is 1500+, my old coin finds are just two silvers and 12 wheaties. I think my E-Trac skills are pretty good, so I suspect its because I've focused...

    A few firsts accomplished today

    1) First day to use my new 6x8 SEF coil. Its a keeper, and pondering when and where to use my 6" Excelerator from now on. 2) I beat my record for the most clad quarters found in one day. My total today was 19, thanks in part to a coin spill of 7 quarters one hole! 3) I'm over $100 in clad for...
