    Back to the Honey Hole

    I went out again after work for a couple hours. I put on my big coil again and turned the sensitivity to max. The soil is sandy so it worked without a problem. I searched for about an hour not finding anything noteworthy. Copper wire, metal button, brass nuts, put tab, etc. Then I went back...

    Buffalo and the Statue of Liberty

    I went back to the honey hole this afternoon for a couple hours. I found a small Statue of Liberty pin and a 1936 Buffalo Nickel. (My First :) Neither were more than 6 inches deep and both were mixed amongst the iron. I was using my 4.5x6 Excelerator coil to pick between the trash. I also...

    More silver in the Honey Hole

    I went out for a couple hours after work. This time I found my first ring. It's a small ladies ring. It looks like an old class ring with the stone is missing. But at least it's sterling silver. :super:

    Back to the Honey Hole

    After my last post about the pocket watches I left to go back to my new honey hole. Since it is overcast I figured I could get in a couple hours before the rain. Right after I dug my very first merc ever, it started to drizzle so I snatched up my new silver and headed home. :crazy:

    Old pocket watches

    I went out yesterday with the gang. We hunted an old civil war site close to home. I found two watch casings about 20 feet apart 6 to 8 inches down. I have never found a watch part before let alone two in the same day at the same site. I think the one on the left may be silver and the one...

    To Ryanchappel re:Pulse Induction MDs

    I noticed that the other thread was closed so I could not respond there. Here's an idea for what it's worth: I have a PI detector as well as the Etrac. I use it in the water at the beach and in a fresh water sound near by. It will sound off on ANY metal and I don't think mineralization...

    Amateur video hour with Joe Dirt :rofl:

    It was HOT as "H" double hockey sticks today so I waited to go out for a couple hours at the end of the day. Here is my first couple attempts at making a video while digging a target. Grab your popcorn and enjoy the movies. :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEx0kwfNbSM...

    1779 at 12/39 - 12/40

    I went out again today with a few friends for a group hunt. We hit an old school and park. At the school I found a bunch of clad but no silver. We decided to go across the street and hit the park. The old park was sprinkled with iron. I got a lock on a target and dug one Zincoln. About 20...

    12-44 / 12-45

    Me and a buddy of mine went out this morning. We found a lot of clad, a couple of wheat pennies, and I found my FIRST SILVER!!! :crazy: I had been digging 12-44's all morning getting clad dimes and copper pennies. I got another solid 12-44 in two directions so I knew I had a coin. I was...

    Put the coil over the silver

    Today I found 6 quarters, 5 dimes, 19 Lincolns, 5 Zincons, and 2 Wheat cent but no silver. The closest date was 1966 on the brown silverish looking coins. Oh so close but yet so far! I have no doubts the E-Trac can find just about any coin I put it on top of, I just can't seem to put it on...

    My first door knock

    I was tied up until 1:30 today but planned to go out afterwards. I have been doing some research on the web looking at dates of parks, schools, houses, etc. After my last appointment today I had a decision to make. Do I drive away from town to an older school built in the 1950's or do I drive...

    E-Track Warranty

    My stock coil went all crazy on me a few weeks ago. I called the customer service number, they sent me a shipping label to print out, and I boxed up the bad coil and sent it back. It didn't cost me a dime in shipping, no questions asked, and I got a replacement coil in less than two weeks. I...

    Two cents and a hole to China

    I went to visit my mom today. Up nice and early for the hour drive. I took the Ol' Etrac along for the ride. After my arrival and a couple hours visiting I decided to hit the yard for the first time. The place was covered will fill dirt and tons of iron so I switched over to TTF after...

    Pure Iron Reject

    I've seen in various places that when discriminating out iron some people block out FE 19 on down, some FE 25 down, some FE 28 down, and others as far as FE 31 on down. If you are coin/ jewelry/ precious metal hunting and want to discriminate out iron, how much of the FE scale are you willing...

    Sea Hunter 2

    I just got mine in the mail today from a leading detector sales company. I wanted something I could take under water this summer. I ordered the two coil package and only got one coil. It also came with batteries already installed in the detector unit. For those of you who may own one of...

    Bullet and Shield

    I found this 50 caliber Civil War bullet and a 1869 Shielded Nickel about 15 feet apart using my new Excelerator 4.5x7" DD coil. The soil was a moist sandy loam and easy to dig. The bullet was about 10 -11 inches down and the coin about 6 -7 inches. Two firsts in one day. My first civil war...
