    Half day hunt a token, pocket watch, 10 wheats, war nickle 12x15 sef

    The SEF 12x15 once again entirely impressed me. Running a gain of 6 in Mixed mode stereo I found this pocket watch at an unbelievable 16" in our hunted to death school field. The war nickle was a solid 10" down and rang up solid. The wheats where at a depth of 4-9" and I almost always knew they...

    10x12 sef failed, then repaired and gets me 8 wheats and merc

    I guess the title says it all. My SEF coil has been acting up and I thought it was just a little corrosion on the box connector. Well it was shorting out somewhere and finally went out completely. Before it gave up it was not getting hardly any depth and was really quiet, 2" of depth on a...

    3 silver day for me....pretty happy. Using the 12x15 sef

    My wife, buddy and myself went out today and hit the beach. Not much there but I scored a folding knife at a couple inches down, it gave me an overload. Got tired of not finding much and went to the local park where I found this Nike ring. Couple of inches down and I thought it was a quarter...

    V3i and 12x15 sef gets me a deep seated 1854 quarter!!!!!

    I am so happy , I finally got another seated. This quarter was a solid 9" down and in an area full of trash from an old building that burned down. It has been hunted since the 70's and has given up plenty of Mercs and Barbers but I have never, ever, heard of a seated being pulled out of the...

    Franklin half and a nice token for the day.

    Got out and did some serious hunting today in a "new to us" field. Using the V3i and the 12x15 sef and running mixed mode stereo. So many targets, there had been dozens of cabins that had been tore down, lots of trash. I found 5 wheats all in the 40's and 50's. My wife found a 1901 Barber dime...

    For those on the fence ...Silver from the last couple of hunts.

    All coins where found from 4"-8" in nail infested trashy areas. V3i running mixed mode and the 10x12 sef. I did get skunked last weekend and no silver. I find so many Wheat pennies its not worth cleaning up till the end of the year, unless they are a key date. I havent found any "solid" gold...

    $13.50 in quarters today.

    I have been hunting almost every weekend and really have not had much to show since the last diamond ring. We got out hunting today and got around 4 hours of swing time in at a school we hunt every couple of years. I got $13.50 in quarters and another $3.00 in change. My wife called me a...

    2 silver day with the v3i and 12x15 sef

    I went back to our hunted to death field and hit another little park today. The chain was found a couple of inches down in a coin spill of around 4 Dollars.....:biggrin: The little ring that doesnt even weigh a gram was found at an astonishing 7" and did not even bounce. I got a solid vdi of...

    v3i and SEF 12x15 get me some old saphires, topaz and Ice?

    I have been finding fewer and fewer targets in my regular hunting grounds. Its gotten to the point where non ferrous targets are few and far between. Running a conservative gain of 5-6 and a disc of 85 and single frequency 7.5 all my grounds are producing dramatically once again. After I finish...

    Early portrait on glass found today... So cool.

    I found this awesome portrait on glass today. Running mixed mode stereo, it has a copper or brass band around it that has a little of the gold plate left. I found it within the first hour of our 5.5 hour hunt. Its a really trashy area with iron every where but almost all the targets are old or...

    Another old gold ring with the v3i and 12x15 sef.

    Do you guys ever get sick of digging gold? I find more gold than I do silver coins, well at least it seems that way. The ring is low karat and has been sized. My 10k acid eats it slowly, you can see the staining the acid caused. It looked like a junker from all the corrosion, I polished it up...

    Thank you White SEF 10x12 Old coin today-1795

    I was given permission to hunt an residential yard in my home town. The home owner lost his deceased Fathers ring back in 1999 while gardening around the house. I found little clad, but lots of deep signals and iron was not overwhelming in the front yard. Trash was present but there where...

    Possibly my best find ever.... Pre-civil war? Help please.

    If this is as old as the 20 stars on the flag than I found my most significant relic of my life and it may be either way. Using the 4x6 and mixed mode, I found it 40 yards south of the house dump on an old wagon trail. The powder measuring part of it was a couple of feet away and down 4-5...

    Working the dump gets me old silver. N52 rake.

    Well 4 hours later I got a little silver. The dump has been dug and the old bottles are hard to find. This ends my drought of good finds for the week.:detecting: The rake is outfitted with 7, 1"x1/2"x2" n52 neodymium magnets. They will crush fingers and draw blood at will, they are the...

    SEF 10x12 died today(kinda).... That makes 4 white ones.

    My sef 10x12 was useless. It wouldnt pick up a can at 12" air testing it could see a penny at 1" air testing, barely. This was the most important hunt I have done in years. I payed the homeowner $50 to hunt his small back yard. :rage: I hunted with my 5.3 and my 12x15 and the 4x6. At least...

    Awesome 18k Gold ring with the first day out with 12x15 sef.

    I cant believe it. Anther gold ring today. Victorian beauty, I thought it was going to be a crusty zincoln penny 5" down with iron masking it. It was in the side of the hole and I have to go back and sift the dirt and try and find the stone. You have to dig them pull tab signals.:clapping: I...

The areas are loaded with brass and countless ferrous targets, but seldom have any good coins. Running...

    Nice find today..... worth a $1000?

    I have been hunting a couple hours day for the last couple of days. I found the usual $4-5 in clad and some goodies. We have been digging any positive targets trying to find tokens and Gold. Well it has been paying off, this is why you have to dig the zincoln signals 48-58. The token is not...
