    rats VS pro golds

    Would like to hear from folks who own, or have owned BOTH the pro golds and ratphones. Your thoughts on both good, bad, whatever. Did you chose one over the other....and why. I know there are many good others, but would like to keep the thread focused on just these two. Thanks , Dan

    Out of work early...a large cent and a chunk of silver.

    I got out of work early today and had some time to get out. I was going to revisit a spot I had hunted before and noticed someone in a yard at a house I have been eyeing for years. I have met this person before, we have mutual friends. I asked him if I could hunt his yard and he said yes. I...

    A Barber Quarter Saves The day.

    Went on another trip to find a cellar hole.....found it. It turned out to be at least four cellar holes and some other ruins. A big home site. It was easy to get to and I think it was detected to death. I did not find one target worth digging. This has NEVER happened before. No buttons, no...

    A Gamble Pays Off.

    I had done some research a while back and located an old home site on a map from 1856. The area the house was at is now a wooded area. It is about an hr from my house and I thought there might be a chance I could find it and there might be something left if it had already been detected. I was...

    Hi all. I went to an old spot, one that I had hit fairly hard when I first started metal detecting. I was using a DFX with the stock 9.5 coil at the time. I had read a couple of post lately talking about using Ferrous sounds. I always seem to forget to use this as a setting. I am aware, but...
