    EQUINOX FIRST HUNT

    Received my Equinox 600 from Brad at Big Boys Hobbies about two weeks ago. Took it out after a lot of reading and trial and error in my front yard. In a 1940's park it sounded like a machine gun going off. There was junk scrap, can slaw, bottle caps and pull tabs every where. I wised up a...

    I changed coils to the small OOR COIL and attacked impossible park for about an hour YUP we need those lower rods from notka. Changing coils without them is a pain in the booty. I landed first thing right in the middle of the worst trash area in the park. That's really a good thing. Now I...

    It was a silver day

    Took the AT Pro out to a park that I have it at least 500 times. No joke I hit this park every couple of days and always find a little something. It was a beautiful day, 70 degrees, sun shining, birds chirping and a lot of targets. Fist of all I dug 6 Chuckie Cheese tokens, then a 62 Rosie...

    5x8 or 8.5 x 11 for AT Pro for large clean parks

    Trying to find out which of these coils most AT Pro users choose when detecting a fairly non-junky park. I put the 5x8 coil on my Pro a couple of years ago and it's never been off since. What do you folks think ?.. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

    Ring # 4 for 2015

    Starting the year off right. Found my third and fourth rings of the year this week. Went to the biggest soccer complex I have ever seen this week. There must be at least 40 to 50 soccer fields in this sports complex. We never hut the fields, just on the edges of the fields. Lots of clad. My...

    Busted detecting curb strips

    Was in my home town for a few days and decided to detect some curb strips. I have done this many many times. As luck would have it someone must have complained. The local police show up and ask me what I'm doing. So I tell him. No, no you cannot do that. The curb strip belongs to the...

    Garrett customer service gets a STAR

    I took John Edmonton's advice and called Garret and asked to speak with the VP of sales. I explained my situation concerning the repair of my AT Pro (the repair was not the real problem). The problem was Garrett's Company Policy concerning the return of my coil and headphones. He explained...

    Great Silver Week With The Pro

    I'm camera challenged, so no pictures. Went out to my hometown for the week to get away from it all and do a little MD'ing. My hometown is Blythe, Ca. Nothing of any size for other towns within a hundred miles. I started out detecting median strips in a housing development that was built...

    New day with the CTX

    Got out with my CTX for a couple of hours today. Amazing what you can do when the CTX is working. Found a 1951 franklin half, mercury dime, and 4 wheats. Not bad for an old guy that yesterday didn't have a clue. Thanks again to Evan for his help. I'm camera challenged so no pictures yet.

    Stroking with the Compadre

    Purchased a Tesoro Compadre because of all the hype about it being a great coin and gold detector. First time out with the unit netted $2.55 in clad a lot go junk and a doer back. This little unit is a lot of work for my right thumb. Fun to use though.

    AT PRO BOX MOUNT BROKEN

    I was out detecting today, picked up my Pro from the ground and the control box just fell off of the S shaft. The plastic mounts for the control box both broke off. Has anyone else experienced this happening? Either I try and repair it or send it in. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks...

    Crusty Silver Coins

    I'm writing to see if anyone has a good way to cleans crusty, corroded silver coins and wheat back penny's. I have been finding many silvers and wheats in the desert south west. I believe The ground is so mineralized and alkalized that it turns coins almost black when you dig them. Tumbling...

    Silver Drought Is Officially Over

    I'm always reading the post where people are finding multiple silver coins in one hunt. That has never happened to me until today. I broke out my CTX 3030 today after buying A sling for it. I have to say that makes detecting with the CTX breeze. Anyway I went back to a vacant lot that I...
