    RARE Freeman .44 Six Shooter

    I haven't had much to post about recently, but yesterday I made the find of a lifetime. My primary detector (White's VX3) is in the shop, so I have been swinging my back-up (XLT). I went to a spot that I had been to a couple times before deep in the mountains. I got a big iron hit but dug it...

    Learning the VX3

    Thanks Burlbark! I tested it out in a park and had better results after adjusting the sensitivity and the recovery delay a bit from the stock CJ settings.

    Learning the VX3

    Hi All, I just upgraded from an XLT to a VX3 and have been running into some difficulties getting in tune with the machine. I think part of it is that I'm expecting it to behave like the XLT and just haven't had enough hours with the detector, but I sure could use some tips. Anything that...

    Finding Silver Coins at Flea Markets, Garage Sales, and Elsewhere.

    My coin collecting hobby sprouted out of my metal detecting hobby, and I've been developing a pretty keen eye for silver coins at flea markets, garage sales, and wherever it might pop up (above ground). One of my best flea market finds came a couple of weeks ago when I picked up 35 war nickels...

    Gold Ring!

    Unbelievable! I just pulled my third gold ring since last Saturday (and third overall)! This one rang in as a VDI 16. I dug it in the same park that I pulled another ring from last week! It's 10k gold with a sapphire center stone and a ruby and emerald accent (I think, but I'm no gemologist).

    Club Hunt

    I participated in the local club's hunt today and got some good keepers, including the top prize: a 1787 Fugio Cent! It's hard to see in the pic, but it's the coin on the bottom. Also got a 1962 Franklin Half in uncirculated condition and a 1945 Merc. If you're in the Bay Area, the Treasure...

    Boy Scout Tie Clips

    Found these in a baseball field, and wondering if anyone knows their age. Thanks!

    Gold Streak?

    I've been detecting for about a year with an XLT that I picked up at a garage sale. I had always wanted to get into the hobby, but had never committed to buying a machine until there was one (actually two...I bought both) leaning up against a house at a garage sale. The price? $50 for both...

    California Ghost Towns

    Anyone explore/detect any ghost towns in California...specifically the San Francisco Bay Area? The only ones that I know about are at Old Almaden (off limits to detecting) and Alma and Lexington (under water). I know there's a lot of history here, but I'm wondering if the high cost of real...
