    A ring and large cent

    There is a place near me that I have had my eye on for several years ..It is beside a stream waterfall. Way way back before roads, the waterways were the roads and these falls were always a portage. One side of the stream is fairly flat ,,,,maybe a good place to camp? Last year new owners...

    Anything better than a 12x10 UPDATE

    As I mentioned in my previous post my 12x10 coil suddenly went sour. I was actually on the edge of warranty but Kellyco came through in flying colors. Once I was able to speak with the correct rep. and explain my problem they took care of it. He told me as soon as they had a tracking number...

    anything better than 10x12 coil?

    THANKS Larry Will try that . I think I had better wait until Monday to see what Kellyco says before dismantling anything. If I had been sharper I would have realized I had a problem before my one year ran out. The emi came on suddenly in the middle of a hunt and I thought someone somewhere...

    anything better than 10x12 coil?

    Some New England finds

    Larry yes I am still in Maine the real estate market seems to have crashed here so I guess I am stuck for a while. I intended to move only a town away so still deep in the heart of Maine. I still think of you and Rob everytime I dig a large cent. I think I am at six so far this spring. Rob...

    Joined the sef club

    After waiting and watching (this forum) I finally made the jump to a 10by12 sef ..Arrived today noon and on the v by 12:30. Air test and it will hold rx at 15 but with the boost it overloads. It can hold with rx at 12. Does this sound like it is a good coil? I took it to an iron infested...

    From A Maine river

    This is a combined post from two Mainers because one of us has dial up and can't post I guess. Today I took Indiankirk to my new, old pier system. Kirk recovered a 1890 dime in the first ten minutes followed by a 1964 quarter then a fantastic (for Maine tidal ground)1828 large cent. Finally he...

    From the mighty Penobscot

    Hi all this is my first post in the Today finds section. The v3i and I have been collecting dust due to some severe back issues and then surgery. At my last checkup the Doc.said Let your back be the judge to what you can do. You won't believe this but my back says detecting is fine but work is...

    How good is the V3i for finding gold nuggets?

    ???? Exactly how big are your nuggets???????????????? SORRY I just had to say that.. In my experience the v is very good for prospecting nuggets but for finding black sand and gold lines and areas the gold specific machines are better. It is my understanding that they work on a lower...
