    Still banging around with the ol' Fors CoRe.

    Went down to NV for Monte's outing/get together. Was a fun trip, met up with some familiar faces from past outings and also met some new people. I did get me a "first" on this trip down. Finally snagged me an 1851 Trime. Didn't think I'd ever find that little coin. When it was all said and...

    Fors CoRe still finding some goodies

    A friend and I headed to NV for a week. This time we headed off to areas we have never been. I used the Fors CoRe with 4.7x5.2 coil 95% of the time and the 9.5x5 too. Was a fun trip and great seeing some new scenery. When it was all done I managed to get a few keepers. As far as coins I got a...

    Give the Detech 7" coil a try

    Got out my MXT Pro and M6 and tried the detech 7" coil. Long story short I really like the coil. Can handle a decent amount of iron and it's not too big and it's not too small, but just right for working the fringe areas of ghost towns etc where the iron isn't to dense. Back in 2015 I got on...

    Fors CoRe & 4.7" x 5.2" ( oor) Coil gets the job done.

    Went down to Wells, NV. area for a week on Monte's WTHO outing # 12. The whole week I used only one machine and one coil and that was the Fors CoRe and 4.7" x 5.2" coil. Of the 130 or so Trade tokens I have found, I have found every denomination except a 12 1/2 cent token. For some reason, I...

    Plugging along with the Fors CoRe.

    Finally started getting some decent weather so made a trip up to one of my favorite sites. I used the FoRs CoRe ( Favorite machine) with the oor (4.7 x5") coil. Detected in what is probably the nastier area of this site. Lots of nails of course, but worse than the nails it also contains lots...

    Racer 2 & 7" coil finds me a rare token.

    It all started with an email from a friend asking if I ever detected or found this old site that is up in the general area of some of the ghost towns we hunt. I told him about a year ago a friend and I trekked back in there but really didn't find that much and no success. Last Thursday I glanced...

    A Trip to NV

    Met a friend down in NV for a three-day hunt. We hit three sites. Is always fun to detect down in NV. When it was all done found some nice doodads, sheep ear tags from around the 1901 era, a 1884 IH, 1917&29 Wheat Pennies, and nice shape 1867 Shield Nickel. Also, a neat find was an old brass...

    Fun with the Racer 2 & Fors Relic

    A very good friend & I planned a little over week-long detector jaunt. We hit some sites in Central/Southern Idaho as well as Eastern Oregon. All in all it was a very fun trip and we did much better than we thought we might. I used the Racer 2 with 7" Concentric and 5" Nel Sharp coils. For the...

    Took the Relic and CoRe to NV for a few days of fun.

    Headed down to NV and met up with a few friends to do a few days of detecting. The first day I used the Relic machine with 5" coil and managed an 1864 IH. The next day I used the good ol" trusty Fors CoRe with the "oor" coil. It managed to sniff me out an 1853 Seated Quarter in all the trash...

    Took the Nokta Fors Relic out today for the first time.

    Last April did some horse trading etc and got a Fors Relic machine but never did use it. So today Monte and I headed out to a place we call Lone Tree to do a morning hunt. We also met up with Del & Patsy as well ( D&P OR.) So I set her up, 3 tones, 85 gain, iron audio at 01 and used the 5.5 x...

    Fun with the Racer 2 on Montes outings #8 & 9

    Did the two outings in NV, one was in the Wells area and the other down in Tonopah. As always they were lots of fun and a chance to meet up with some friends again. I primarily used the Racer 2 with either the 7" coil or a small coil. Well now at least I can say I have seen Tonopah and the...

    A Red Racer Post !!!

    Weather is finally starting to get better, so met up with Monte for a bit at a local spot. Still can't quite get into our ol' ghost town sites yet. So I used the Original (Red) Racer with the 7" Concentric coil. The more I use this 7" coil the more I am really liking it. This site we hunted is...

    Ya have to be careful around those "MXT" people.........

    I had a nice MXT Pro and Nancy wrangled that one away from me a year or so back. I finally acquired another really nice cond. MXT Pro and I'll be darned didn't even get to own it for one full day. Monte stopped by to visit a minute and seen it. As you can guess he wrangled that one away from me...

    Red Racer finds me a "first"

    Well, I gotta say I am surprised that my Red Racer can find anything today after ML claims to have made my poor lil machine obsoleted. Makro discontinued the Red Racer. Poor Red is getting it from all directions........ Anyhow, So I went to an old local spot in my area. Detected a while with...

    Goodbye Red, gonna miss ya.....

    I was looking at Makro's website and they no longer list the Makro Racer ( Red Racer) looks like it may have hit the end of the line. Great machine, still is today. Found a lot of nice old coins with my Red Racer ( a nice 1861s Seated Quarter, my only 3 cent nickel and my first Seated Half Dime)...

    Is quiet in here too.....

    As groundscanner said in the Nokta thread its sure has been quiet. I guess we are quietly waiting for winter to get over and waiting for the waterproof machine to launch. I am curious what the water machine will be, specs, coils offered etc etc. I 'm sure I'll prob get one. I have a few spots...

    Santa & Mrs Clause

    I wonder what might be coming out for this next year. Dilek, you're a very resourceful person and I am sure you have been in contact with the folks way up North. Any hints on what may be headed our way ?? Maybe something that is melted Snowproof ??
