    When the wife's away... :wiggle:

    The kitchen sink makes the PERFECT place to soak my digging tools, coil covers, coin pouches, scoops and shoes. Just need to make sure it's Marine-inspection clean when she gets home... Made that mistake only once... :) - Muddyshoes

    Converted GTI 2500 on it's way home!

    Finally scraped up enough money to get my GTI back. Cost $350 for the upgrade from a GTI 2000 to a GTI 2500 - The new box won't talk though like the 2000 did. I never even got to know her name... *sniffle*. I'm looking forward to imaging again. While I like the AT Pro, I really just love the...

    Question for you civil war relic hunters...

    What's a typical day like for you? I know there is no typical day, but if I go park hunting for coins, I know I'll get about one non-coin "keeper" item for each 10-25 coins or so. Do you get 1 mini ball per hunt? 2? 10? What is the frequency for things like belt buckles or other uniform...

    More silver during an afternoon rain hunt

    Sorry, no pics. Has been raining for a couple days in central Florida, but I decided to go out anyway to a local well-searched park that borders a lake that gets pretty high during the rain. As a result, the grass is very lush and rich, very thick and is about 4 inches ABOVE the curb line in...

    AT Pro Design Changes are HERE ... For a price...

    Just spoke to Garrett (Mayra in repair...) about my GTI-2500 upgrade... While I had them on the phone, I asked about the AT Pro changes and they said they are now shipping. The NEW AT Pro has upgraded circuit boards (software upgrade/improvement I assume?), compression shaft locks/clamps and...

    My FrankenGarrett is on the operating table...

    Well, my decision to upgrade or just sell my GTI-2000 was made for me when it died completely. Garrett received it and said that it was a combination of bits gone bad on the main board and a hole in the searchcoil. Was an easy decision. For $350 including shipping, they're replacing all the...

    First Salt Water Hunt with AT Pro - Need help...

    So I took my AT Pro out for my first try at the beach and salt water. I must say, despite having a decent handle on the machine so far on dry land, I was having a very hard time in salt water. I was hunting on Lido Key on the west coast of Florida in Sarasota. The beach was very powdery white...

    What's coins are on your "finds" bucket list?

    What coins are on your hit list? Mine would be US Coins, mostly. Although even in Florida I find Canadian now and then. - I've only found seated liberty dimes. Never a quarter, half or silver dollar. - REAL silver dollar of any kind. Have never found one - Three cent piece - Morgan Half -...

    BEFORE you buy your AT Pro Headphone Adapter...

    Before you buy your AT Pro headphone adapter that allows you to use standard 1/4" jack headphones, consider how much water hunting you will be doing. The instruction sheet that comes with the adapter gives two options for connecting this (see photos from instruction sheet below.) The first...

    Water Scoop Hunting... A Question

    Ok, I've got the bug for water hunting. Seriously, I don't know why I didn't try it sooner. Even found this gem, check it out... http://swimmingholes.org/ But I digress... In my first couple water hunts, I noticed a lot of things falling through the larger holes in my scoop, and I notice...

    Pardon Me Boy... Is this the Winter Park Choo Choo?

    So the Muddyshoes got cocky today. I've almost burned through my first set of AT Pro batteries, need a back adjustment from the horrible ergonomics of the AT Pro, and I'm starting to get good with pinpointing off the tail of the DD Coil. I've figured out what "Double D" means.. it stands for...

    Hunt #5 - Another dog trinket...

    So, I found "Gnocchi's" nametag and spoke with the owner and told him I will mail it to him. Today, at another hunt at a small park, I found a pewter "St. Francis Protect My Dog" medal from a different dog, although I could not make out the pet's name on the back. Found the same medal for sale...

    Ok, so it's not like returning someone's wedding band...

    ... but I contacted the owner and am mailing "Gnocchi's" name tag back to him. A little goodwill goes a long way and the least I can do after being blessed with some wonderful finds this week. - Muddyshoes

    Water hunting question...

    At what water depth would you say you find the most things? I realize it can vary. The rings I found today were all pretty much where the water was at my thigh level, roughly 2.5 feet. Maybe that's the level where most people just venture out to get wet, do some splashing and chuck their rings...

    3rd hunt with AT Pro, 1st water hunt and 5 rings!

    So I planned to try my first water hunt today with my new box. I remember a city park where I used to live when I was little that had a public beach. I figured I'd go today early so as not to fight against and dodge the swimmers. When I arrived at the park.. I found the beach had been...

    I found Mrs. Magilicutty's Legbone... A Muddyshoes Adventure!

    Note: I also posted this in the general forum, but you are my "homies" here in the Garrett Forum... ------------------ So you're a cop in this upscale town... it's getting dark, and you pull into an abandoned post office parking lot to fill out some paperwork. You sit in your cruiser, and off...

    So you're a cop in this upscale town... it's getting dark, and you pull into an abandoned post office parking lot to fill out some paperwork. You sit in your cruiser, and off to the side, you see some nervous, ragtag, dirt-laden person approaching your vehicle...a quick assessment indicates a...

    Saturday Hunt - 2nd AT Pro Hunt...

    It was time for my second hunt. You'd think growing up in Florida I'd learn to start detecting before 1pm because of the summer heat, but then again, I've never been the sharpest tool in the shed. I hit some perimeter empty lots and medians outside of a local park that takes meticulous care of...
