    Tough hunt tonight....need to vent a little.

    I haven't been on this forum for a long time. Truth is...I got a little burned out on detecting, and I haven't been out in awhile. ...until tonight. Probably not the best way to get back into it. About a year ago, there was a car wreck(roll over) and two young men died.(yes, alcohol was...

    Dust cover mod, a short hunt, and a lead

    THE PROJECT I've been doing one project every week and I'm calling it Concept Friday. I then post my project on my website, Facebook, and G+. This week(I'm late), I tried to make a new dust cover for my X-Terra. I gave up and decided to just modify my Minelab cover. I cut a slot below the...

    First hunt of 2012

    I've been pretty quiet lately due to winter and I've been working on other projects(haven't been detecting since Thanksgiving). I went detecting for 1 1/2 hours today. I went back to the old football bleachers location. Didn't find a lot. $1.11 in clad, a "I'm Catholic, call a priest"...

    New pouch and 3 silvers

    I thought winter was here for good, but it warmed up into the 50's yesterday. We've had a month of football playoffs(yes, we won the championship!), so I thought I'd cherry pick around the football field. Because the field has been kept clear of snow(no insulation), it was hard to dig through...

    MORE Ames digger mods

    Last spring I did several mods to my Ames 7in1: 1 Welded on a point 2 Dulled the "twine cuttter" so that it wouldn't cut my headphone cord 3 Added serrations on the "smooth" side Shortly after...I hooked a root and broke it.:veryangry: I bought a Leshe.:thumbup: Now that Winter has apparently...

    Swingy Thingy arrived!

    So I had to give it a try. It's going to take some getting used to, but it definitely makes the detector feel "lighter". Thanks again!! It was just a short hunt back at my aunt's farm. The token is for the carousel in Missoula, MT. The "fun" find was the 1953 Uncle Sam toy dime.

    It warmed up, so I tried some new places

    After starting out a 8F this morning....it eventually warmed up to the low 50's. With winter fast approaching, I decided to try a few "new" places on our farm this evening. 1st: the teepee rings Sorry no pics(forgot the camera), but there isn't much to see anyway. The rings are now just...

    I might be done for the year....

    It was/is 8 degrees F this morning....no snow. :thumbdown: At least I got to test my "new to me" base layers/jacket/ski pants last night when it was 14F.:rolleyes:

    Got fed up with my Lesche sheath....and did it right

    WHY would anyone(WITH digging experience) build a sheath for a good tool....that collects dirt/mud?????? I fixed mine. It no longer has the "mud build up". After today's hunt...no dirt ball.:surprised::detecting::clapping:

    Park hunt video

    I made a video to show what kind of targets I dig and what I don't dig. I also show how I pinpoint. I'll try and embed the video here.....but if it doesn't work, here is the link: Park hunt video <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ScXR8gOpZjs?rel=0"...

    I decided to dig pull tabs tonight

    I've been avoiding pull tabs since I started detecting. My low nickel count and zero gold reflects it. So tonight I went back to the park for a couple hours and hit the pull tabs. On my 6th or 7th target, I find this nice looking ring!! Yes, I've been over this spot several times and just...

    Wireless and lovin' it!!

    I was finally able to find a set of Auvio 33-283(discontinued by radioshack) on ebay for a decent price. The transmitter is rechargeable(have to remember to plug it into the charger when I get back home) and the headphones use AAA's. The headphones are LOUD, but have a volume control. I've...

    The ring that fooled me twice

    I had to go to town, so I brought the 70 and the 10" MF DD along. Nothing was going on at the county fairgrounds(it's only ok to detect there when there are no "events") so I stopped in(after I had two rings checked for diamonds....nope). I went to the "old" picnic area and started collecting...

    Wheat among the nails

    I had a little time before lunch today...so I ran the new 10" MF DD over my parent's lawn. This is an old (1910) farmhouse that has had several additions, rebuilds, repairs, etc. done to it over the last 100 years. Needless to say, the lawn is PACKED full of nails. I ran the 9" and the 5x10"...

    Odd silver ring

    I found this ring where the visitors bleachers used to be at the old football field.(I wanted to hunt the Home bleachers, but the sprinklers were on.) I thought I was digging a quarter and out pops this nice ring!!:clapping: I can see there is writing inside...but my hands are to dirty to get...

    What would negative threshold do?

    I've been running my detector in a modified pattern 1 (only -8 notched out to help with "wraparound") and the threshold set on 0.(also using multi-tone) I've been pretty happy with this set up. What would happen if I dropped the threshold even lower??? Would faint/deep signals sound a bit...

    First time out with the 10.5" MF DD coil

    I went back to the park that I have hunted, and hunted, and......you get the idea. I thought I'd pretty much hunted it out. Anyway....came back with $.87 in clad AND a 1909 penny!!! Unfortunately...not an S or VDB, but still pretty cool.:thumbup: I think I will really like this coil. Much...

    Denton, MT sidewalk replacement hunt(s)

    The cement sidewalks here in Denton are being replaced. So I am going to hunt them as much as I can. The sidewalks (this is a guess) date to the late teens/early twenties. Before that, Denton had wood boardwalks. Tonight (8/24/211) was my second hunt. A total of 3 blocks(North side only)...

    Wish me luck!

    It's 9:22 pm and I'm going to detect at the sidewalk project. The town is replacing the sidewalks on the 'main street'(actually called Broadway). Not sure how old the sidewalks are....late teens/early twenties????? I've been driving a harvest truck all day(I'm tired)....but I don't know how...
