    Feeling a little Mexican today

    After a very very long hiatus, I managed to get my hands dirty today by trying out my Nokta FORS CoRe for the first time in a local park I've hunted off and on since the late 70's. This is one of those little, out of the way places that shouldn't produce some of the coins it does; and just when...

    Baby trilobite

    Here's a teeny tiny trilobite that came from the Swatara Gap area in S.E. PA. It's from Ordovician period shale ( I think !) measures about a 1/4" long. Not sure of the species.

    Fake T2's ??????

    I'm probably the last one to know, but I just saw a video about how to check your T2's authenticity; and was disappointed to find that mine might be a fake:ranting: !! According to the video, with the machine turned off, if you hold down the menu button while pushing the trigger away from you...

    Small bean field yields colonial coin

    I managed to get out for a few hours yesterday, and approached some private property owners seeking permission to hunt. The last place I hit was an 1850's farm up for sale, and I figured since the owners would be vacating sometime, they wouldn't mind me checking around. Well,I was only partially...

    SUPER ROMAN GOLD COIN HOARD FOUND IN UK

    Howdy Folks, Just saw this today on ABC News: Some REALLY lucky newbie in England bought......to borrow the article's phrase,a "basic detector" ; then went out to a farmer's field and found one the largest caches of 4th century Roman gold coins ever found. Something like over a 100 (?) coins...

    Big money for one thin dime

    Just happened to see the headlines on Yahoo today : 1873 CC dime sells for $1.6 million at auction. It looked too clean to be dug; but still... what would a nice dug one be worth ?????

    'Ol Teddy comes back into the light

    Found this Teddy Roosevelt token today. I was hunting a 250 year old church and was hoping for something a wee bit older . Before I got all the dirt off, I thought: hot dang!.. a Half Cent ! I think it still has some age to it. Judging by the lettering and design maybe 20-30's ???? It doesn't...

    Twilight find

    I was out till it was too dark to see what I was digging yesterday,but I managed to find what I thought was a religious medal or medallion. It was down about 6-7" ; and the Etrac had no trouble picking this 2-1/4" baby up. It was too dark and the find was too dirty to be sure what the heck it...

    Minelab battery recharger voltage ???:shrug:

    I recently acquired a lightly used /like new Etrac with a battery charger,rechargeable battery pack, and a couple of regular battery holders. The strange thing I've noticed is that the rechargeable battery pack is rated at 9.5 volts,the re-loadable battery packs are rated at 12 volts,and the...

    Iron Mask vs Smart Find ??

    Excuse the ignorance here,but I'm still learning and trying to figure out all the variables on these great machines. I know that Iron Mask is what the name implies: masks iron. But is this any different than tuning out specific iron objects in the advanced mode on an EXP II ??? Is it a way to...

    I.D.ing rusty nails

    In the good 'ol VLF days,I used to be able to tell nails from good targets because they would "double beep" if the coil was passed along the length of the item. I've experienced similar situations now and again with the EXP II when pin pointing. Usually when I dig,it turns out to be a nail and...

    Here and there,this and that

    I've finally been able to log some run time with my EXP II. I've checked out a couple of fresh areas around 1800's farm homes and a couple of parks that I haven't hunted since the good 'ol days with my Whites 6000-D. It's been a strange stroll down memory lane to be sure ! I've included a few...

    Hi Guys, Maybe a stupid question,but here goes: What is the boost or cache option/ setting on a F75 ,and is it NOT ON all F75's ??? I'm guessing this involves enhancing or amplifying weak signals , but is not standard on all F75's ??? What gives ?? Any insight would be greatly appreciated...

    Minelab battery cover screw

    Anybody else find that itty bitty battery cover screw to be a P.I.A. ???? I'm thinking of a replacement screw that won't require a screw driver. Is there one already available ?? I'd make one, but don't want to re-invent the wheel as they say. Any ideas ??? Thanks for your time.

    Chinese knockoffs of Minelabs ????

    Hi All, I'm jumping over here from the Explorer forum simply because I just saw this on a listing for an E-Trac on ebay. This particular seller has hyped the fact that his E-Trac IS NOT a Chinese knockoff. Is there any truth to there being Chinese E-Trac copies ???? I know that Middle Easterners...

    New search coils

    I was lookin' through KellyCo's selection of aftermarket coils and noticed they have a small elliptical coil for the Minelabs. I think it's like 4-1/2" by 7-1/2" or something like that. Anybody tried one of these yet ??? Would this be for combining a wider sweep path with better trash...

    New/low man on the totem pole

    Hi all, After about a 25+ year hiatus from metal detecting....I'm baaack. Did I miss anything ???? The last machine I owned was a Whites Coinmaster 6000D (can I say that on here ??) A friend had bought an Explorer II a few years back and found some pretty amazing coins at some pretty amazing...
