    Privy probe

    Hey folks. I want to expand on metal detecting and do some privy digs. I've been trying to find someone who sells privy probes; the good spring steel ones. Any suggestions? I'm in Canada but have a US shipping address. Thanks for your help!

    Silver bonanza at the beach!

    With a huge storm surge making its way along the coast, I just had to take advantage of it! I didn't have a whole lot of time because I had to get back home for the pre night shift siesta. I wish I could have stayed for 5 hours! The silvers were coming out like crazy! Sometimes two in one...

    Major issue with etrac! Help!!

    I was going about my business hunting an awesome cellar hole that I've hit in the past. Got a few keepers then all of a sudden, my etrac started giving me foil-button numbers constantly. I lifted the coil and shook it with the same numbers showing up. Took the coil and shaft right off and did a...

    Silver at the beach and old copper in the field

    I hit the beach for a bit this morning after a huge storm ripped through the area last night. Spent the entire hunt up at the very top of the beach. Managed my first silvers of 2016! A couple of silver dimes (one was in clay so it looks great) , a silver quarter, copper ring and a silver half...

    Etrac coil cracked

    Hey guys. I have the stock coil on my etrac. Does the stock coil have a cover or is it the actual coil? Mine is cracked so I'm wondering if it needs to be replaced. Thanks folks

    Initial thoughts on the excelerator 4.5x7 coil

    Well, I've had the 4.5x7 on for almost a week now. It's not enough time to post a review, but I feel it is enough time to post my initial thoughts. Yep, it gets into tight spots. It picked a Silver dime out of a yard that is infested with square nails. The stock coil missed it repeatedly. Now...

    Which one would you pick for the etrac? The x5 coil or the 4.5x7?

    Old Indian and big silver

    Hey guys. Thought I'd try out a spot that I've been walking around, literally for years, picking up glass and pottery. This is the same site where I Eyeballed the 1893 LC. The Indian head penny is a great condition 1860. The 1940 50 cent piece was an eyeball find as well, and all on video...no...

    Silver and gold!

    Hey guys. Forced myself to get out today and do some digging. Flies are way too thick in the woods so I hit the beach. Ended up being a great day! At first, it was penny after penny, all 1930-1954. Got a 1947 dime, 1964 quarter, 1921 dime, a silver and plastic brooch (1930-1940's), that weird...

    Cache of 8 Reales!!

    Hey folks. Well, yesterday was just the precursor for what was coming today. Came off a night shift this morning and couldn't rest knowing there might be more. Went out and within five minutes I got a broken 03:35 on the etrac. Dug it, and BAM!! An 8 Reale!! Next hole, 09:36, another...

    MASSIVE silver! woooohoooo!

    A member on another site posted a thread asking.what our wish list consisted of...mine was an 8 Reale...well guess what???? Oh hell yeah I did!!! I was out for a hunt in my go-to field where I have pulled some 1700's coppers. All the land along this road was once a meadow with a few loyalist...

    I'm officially converted...

    Hey guys. I've had my Etrac for a little over a year now. I hunted exclusively in TTF with a wide open screen. It has served me well and I'm really used to it now. I decided to switch it up a bit and try multi conductive in a modified coin pattern. I have been over this strip numerous times in...

    A Romeo1 inspired hunt!

    Hey folks. I've been inspired by Romeo1 to hunt the shoreline at the site of a loyalist landing/gristmill/shipping port. To me, this is uncharted territory. Usually I hunt fields but after seeing what he has been posting, I wanted a piece of that pie too. It paid off! First signal was a really...

    acting up, or is it normal?

    Hey folks. I was out swinging the coil in a field today, and I noticed one heck of a lot of 01:32 signals. I noticed it in the fall too. Mostly only in manual sensitivity but it is also doing it in auto +3. Any ideas?

    First silver of 2014

    Hey folks. Decided to hit the beach for a quick hunt today. It was low tide and such a vast area that I decided to do the drunk detectorist walk. I just meandered all over the place for an hour. Didn't do too bad considering I was rushed and it was -9 degrees. Got .93 cents in clad, an old brass...

    NEW oldest coin...again!

    Hey guys. Literally did one pass about 200' long in my go-to field and scored my new oldest coin! It's completely toasted. It was holes at one time, and probably hit with a plow. After a round of electrolysis, I could see a date. It's a 1737 British half penny. You can make out the 37 in the...

    Today's keepers :)

    Hey guys. Went our today for a couple of hours and managed some keepers. Not pictured are; a 1911 wheatie, a Henry cartridge, flat button and a handful of buckles. Got an el cheapo Victorian locket pendant, or half of it anyway. I added a pic of the 14k version just for fun. Found a couple of...

    Silver shoe buckle updated!

    Hey guys. Found a silver shoe buckle at one of my Loyalist sites over the summer. Cleaned it up and got a positive ID on it. It's a handmade silver Officers shoe buckle and dates from 1760-1780! Thanks for looking.
