    Bracelet ID

    I found this bracelet years ago and have never been able to identify it. It is not attracted to a magnet. Looks to be gold/brass plate over copper. No markings on any part. 7" in length. I initially thought Girl Scouts or Brownies but no luck. Then I thought Pioneer Girls and Campfire Girls but...

    Latest finds from Virginia

    Spent 2 1/2 days in Virginia relic hunting. The back of the property was too wet to hunt so the area was restricted to about a 100' x 500'. Still managed to pull up 46 bullets and the 1800 large cent. I was using the new 13" Detech coil and was looking for a particular bullet...a .44 caliber...

    Opinions on this bullet.

    I found this bullet in Remington, Virginia last week and would like your opinions on it. The hole in the top of the bullet is 1/2" deep. The hole is around 1/8" diameter, no threads, and no rust. It has been fired as the rings are compressed. The impact created a "dome" effect on the star. I...

    Whitworth???

    Got this bullet at auction in a group lot of 50 bullets from Gettysburg. Having a problem identifying this one. Diameter: .490 average Length: 1.158 There is a small amount of wood in the cavity...either rosewood from a boxplug or it hit a tree. I'm thinking either a Whitworth or an...

    Large Cent

    This is my second large cent this year. This one does not have a date either. I found it two weeks ago and soaked it in olive oil the whole time, but I think it is just too far gone. I was using the Coin & Jewelry program (modified). It was 10" deep and I almost gave up digging for it. When...

    You know it's a good day

    ...when you find a silver half. I hunted a 1922 church in town today for a few hours. The half gave a dime reading (79 vdi) at 3". I was expecting a new dime. It was down at 4" on edge. I have hunted the property before. Last Monday I got the two silver dimes. A 1944 Mercury and a 1948-S...

    V3i and AutoTrack Update

    If you read about my recent relic hunt in Virginia you know that I had problems with the AutoTrack and hot ground. On one of my last posts I stated that I did not have this problem before the "i" upgrade. I contacted White's today via email with Todd Marshall and this is what I found out...

    Last Day of Relic Hunting

    Today I hunted the cornfield where I found 4 bullets on Tuesday. The .36 caliber Colt pistol (last row, first from right) was right on top of the ground. I think two of the Sharps are ringtails. The piece of brass with the twisted wires is part of a rifle cleaning rod (I think). While...

    A Few Bullets More

    Out in the Field Yesterday

    About 6 hours of hunting yesterday... .58 three ringers, .54 Sharps, .54 Merrill's, .51 Smith's, .44 Colt pistol, and .36 Colt pistol. 36 bullets total. This was my first time relic hunting since upgrading to V3i software. Suppose to rain here in Virginia today so don't know if I will get...

    Last Day of Fauquier County Relic Hunt

    Today was the last day of relic hunting before heading back to Pennsylvania tomorrow. The top left bullet looks like a carved .54 Sharps. I dug 102 bullets and probably 4 times as many nails. Had a great time and got to visit relatives in the area. The Vision is Spectracular, I mean...

    Relic Hunt in Fauquier County Virginia

    Decided to take a little trip to Fauquier County Virginia for some relic hunting. The area hunted has been hammered by XLT, DFX, and Minelab Explorer. I don't have to tell you that the soil here in Fauquier County is one of the worst in the country. In some areas, depth is drastically reduced...

    2nd Silver Half With the V3

    This one hit high at 93 and then settled down at 83 at 4 inches. I thought it might be a wheat penny and was hoping for a silver dime. It was down at 5". After retrieving it, there was another "junk" signal deeper down. I think this is why it was missed by other hunters, but the V3 didn't...

    Spectra V3/Vision Excel Spreadsheet

    I created an Office 2003 Excel spreadsheet of the Program Chart in the back of the manual. It can be downloaded at http://www.hdwt.net/files/Program-Chart.xls. On the bottom tab Part 1 is from Coin to High Trash and Part 2 is from Meteorite to Common. Also, each mode has it's own spreadsheet...

    What are the odds?

    Nice find Fire Fighter 43...I found one today too! I was hunting an old church (3rd time with the Vision) and got a VDI reading of 83 at 8". Was expecting a quarter and was quite surprised when this 1898-S half popped up. J.R. Hoff
