    First finds of the year

    Got out today with my new hunting partner. It was our first outing together. Hunted a local 1940s church and house. Dug a ton of trash and had a lot of iffy signals. Only spent about 2 hours on the property so we were just cherry picking the good targets. I am fairly certain that it hasn't...

    Looking for hunting partner in Tri-cities Tennessee area

    Title pretty much says it all. I live in the Tri-cities area. Been hunting now for about 6-7 years off and on. Kinda got out of it a few years ago after selling my ETRAC when I needed some cash. Bought a new CTX 3030 last year but haven't really done any hunting with it. My previous partner...

    CTX3030 wall charger

    I have a CTX3030 and have somehow lost the wall charger for the battery charger base. I have searched all over to try and find a replacement one and have even reached out to minelabs as they do not have one listed on their website. I was wondering if anyone has had to replace theirs for...

    I am back to the hobby

    I have officially rejoined the ranks! Bought a new CTX-3030 on Monday and just got it today. Can't wait to get out with it tomorrow for a couple of hours. I used to have an E-Trac but sold it a few years ago. I have regretted it every sense then. Did I mention I am excited to get back out...

    Lead object (Pics added)

    This was found at an old barn in North East TN. As you can see from the pictures there are two different sizes to it. The Top portion is 3 1/4 inch think and the narrower portion is 2 1/2 inch thick. It is 1 3/4 inch in depth. It is solid lead and probably weighs approx 8 -10 pounds. The...

    Silver Spoon

    My oldest son and I went out this afternoon for a few hours of metal detecting. He hadn't been with me for several months. He was more busy with running around with his friends during the summer break as most 17 year olds do. So we hit a few different spots, one of which was a long sidewalk...

    1920s pocket spill...best find to date

    Went hunting again today with Dr. Bill during our lunch break to the same spot we have been hunting the last few days. We have been hunting the sidewalk strips around some 1920ish house lots. We have managed a few silvers out of this area but nothing great. Today however is a day I will...

    Last 2 days finds

    I haven't posted any finds in the last several months because, well there hasn't been that many. Plus my hunting partner has been out of commission all summer and not able to detect until the last week. Finally we were able to get out this week and yesterday we hit a new spot during lunch at...

    Is it a cannonball?

    This was found in Northeast TN in a river bed. It's about 4.85 inch in diameter and 16lbs 10oz. Anyone know if this is a cannonball and if not what it is? Any information would be very appreciated.

    A first X2

    After work I decided to head down to a local park with my oldest son to do a little detecting. He has yet to get a silver and I haven't dug one while hunting with him until tonight. The first park we went to I have never had any luck at but we managed to get a little clad. Signals were very...

    Identify this Buffalo

    Went today during lunch with Dr Bill and found this Buffalo coin along with a 1930s Girl Scout sterling ring. Anyone know anything about this coin? It is not the US Mint $1 Commemorative coin like I initially thought when I dug it. It is the same size as a silver dollar and about the same...

    Replacement battery pack

    Anyone else priced a replacement ML battery pack lately? Last I had looked they were $40-$50. Just checked and saw they were $80-$100. Why the sudden huge increase? Where I work we go through probably $15000 - $20000 a year in rechargeable batteries and have not seen an increase in the...

    Another lunch time find

    As it was about time for lunch today, Dr Bill and I were trying to decide if we wanted to go out and detect today. It had rained a little this morning so we knew it would be wet and muggy. We decided worst case we could always leave if it was too wet so we headed out. We hunted for our normal...

    Lunch time hunt nets my second silver

    Dr. Bill and I went out today at lunch for about 45 mins. Got my second silver for the year. A 1945 no mint mark Merc. I also picked up a 1939 wheatie. Makes for a good day at work when you can get out and find some silver!

    Finally!!!

    Got in a quick 45 min or so hunt today during lunch. As I was headed back to the car I run over a perfect 12-45 at about 6-8 inches. I had a good feeling about it and out popped a 1944D Merc. I have had my ETrac for 2-3 months now. I have dug a couple silver rings and plenty of older...

    Weekend hunt with Dr Bill

    Went out this weekend to an old house we got permission to hunt. Turns out the house is supposedly the oldest house in the area. Dating back to probably mid 1800s or so. We got started around 9am and within minutes Dr Bill pulls out an old nickel. We checked it out and it was a 1939. He...

    Anniversary present

    Saturday was my 17th wedding anniversary and me and the wife went out for a simple lunch and to just get away from the kids for a few hours. She let me do a little hunting for about 2 hours towards the end of the day. I hit the Masonic lodge in town. It's an old building and pretty much...

    Saturday hunt with Dr. Bill

    Went this Saturday to a new spot with Dr. Bill. He found this place not far from where he lives and we looked up to see who owns the property. I called the owner earlier in the week to ask permission to hunt the property. The owner was happy to give us permission. The house is an early 1900s...

    2 Questions

    1. Anyone have a link to where I can download a copy of the Xchange software? 2. Where can one buy replacement wingnuts and associated hardware for mounting a coil to the lower arm?

    Second weekend with the E-Trac

    Went out this weekend with my 16 year old son. He used my Bounty Hunter 3300 and I think he might be addicted now. We had a great weekend with some decent finds. The weather was beautiful aside from a little windy. We hit several places around town and spent some good father and son time...
