    Women Magnet?

    What's up with metal detecting lately. Seems like it's been attracting women like crazy. Today was the 4th time in a row where I was approached by a woman. But today I was approached by three at three seperate times. How can an old married guy like me get any digging done? I wonder if that...

    It's important to talk to old timers!

    I made a few friends and got a few places to hunt just by talking to people. A while ago I went to a school to detect for lost coinage after a 4th of July celebration was held there. The place was new and it was the first year they had a celebration there so I didn't expect much. THis old guy...

    TID's for gold rings

    Hey guys, I know target ID's should be used with some discretion but I am currious of what you guys have found that your gold finds come in as. The various ones I have tested seem to come in between 14 - 20 and someone posted that platinum came in at 11. Can someone please confirm?

    Trashy is an understatement

    I got permission to metal detect at my mother-in-laws house. To my amazement it was extremely trashy from construction debri like aluminum siding, nails, copper etc. Not wanting to dig all that crud, I went to coin mode but it kept nulling out even with a slow swing so as crazy as this may...

    Simple tip to hear your pinpointer better

    Although my pinpointer has both tone and vibrate, I seem to do better by ear then by feel. I fnoticed that if I hit the menu button on my Safari the threshold tone stops. So now when I locate a target I simply hit the menu button, pull out my pinpointer and find the target without having to...

    First Wheat

    Maybe not a biggie, but I am making some progress! I went to a spot that I had a hunch about. I pulled out my Minelab Safari with the 11" DD coil, swung it around a bit and had a difficult time pinpointing anything. Seemed there was a lot of trash. Walked back to the car and put it in the...

    Does this mean my soil has lots of Iron?

    I started constructing a test bed to determine how my detector will pick up various coins at different depths. I dug three 5" holes and put a zinc penny, a nickel and a clad dime in one of each holes. To my surprise the VDI was all over the place, even at only 5 inches they were reading very...
