    It was nice to detect for the first time in a while.

    A good friend of mine who has trouble getting around these days after a bad car accident showed me a bunch of Cellar holes that he knows of. He reminded me of some of the important things that are overlooked or taken for granted, like the simple Act of being able to walk through the woods in...

    Finally treated myself to a decent detecting belt

    For the longest time since I purchased my first metal detector in 1997 I've been either using my pockets or those cheap pouches that come when you buy a new metal detector. Today I bought a couple $10 pouches and used my wading belt for fly fishing. A tool belt will probably work just as good...

    It pays to plan ahead.

    I had to pick my wife off at the airport and it's a trip I usually dread but I decided to plan ahead. I threw my metal detector and fishing rod in the car and a lot of water and hit a couple spots along the way or at least in the area. I got my most pieces of silver ever in a single outing and...

    I found a good one today!

    I was hunting an old field and found an old button and after rubbing it with some vegetable oil to preserve it I went back to the same spot and found this one. I was shaking all over as I gently cleaned it off and rubbed it with a lightly oiled paper towel. I looked it up and it is a Vermont...

    Another great hunt with mom!

    My mom found her first buffalo nickle and then her first silver soon after.

    It paid off to knock on some doors today.

    In the past I always was nervous to knock on stranger's doors so I stuck to public areas where permission wasn't necessary or asked friends and family to detect their properties. For the last year and a half I have worked part time as a union organizer. It involved knocking on a lot of doors. It...

    My mom is a natural

    I got to spend the day with my mom and after visiting friends and family we decided to hit one of my detecting spots because she was interested in finding some treasure. I have hit the spot several times with various other detectors. I'd given her the lighter Fisher F-22 and put it in coin mode...

    It has been a long time since I got the hunt for 8 hours....

    but man it sure was nice to dig in the dirt and talk to people in the neighborhood that I was detecting. It was all so really nice to find my first Indian Head pennies in a while that were in great shape and I got to keep :-) I detected with my Equinox 600 for a while and then switched over to...

    I think there was a post a while back about the Equinox not finding coins on edge...

    Well the 600 does just fine at 6" :-) it also does pretty good at finding flat coins too :-)

    No old coins but did find silver :-)

    I hit an old sports field that unfortunately had been covered with fill so I hit the woods where people had camped in the late 1800s. It has been a while since I found a coin there but luckily I was and was reminded of the old dump while walking the creek. I found the spoon on the bank next to...

    Hit a park that hadn't given up silver in years and...

    Found 2 pieces of silver, a 1944 penny without mint mark, and some other goodies

    Tried to Equinox out at a few fields and in the woods

    I hit some fields and woods that have been worked since the mid 1700's and gound some goodies with my buddy Donnie.

    Old button that was found and never identified

    Good day all. I found this button at an old home site where military buttons and an old eagle sword plate dating back to the mid 1800s was found and never identified it since it is worn. IT could possibly be a 2 piece button because there is a ridge on back but might be one piece as well.Thanks!

    Found my second v nickle in 2 hunts

    I found out old nickles read 12-13 on my new machine and now have been re-searching spots I picked silver and wheaties from recently.

    A great day!

    A friend of mine introduced me to his friend who is a fellow Marine and served in Korea. His home dates back to the early 1800's and every time I drive by it I dream of all the coins and relics. I had 4 detectors to share but began and ended with the Equinox 600. I detected a plateau on the side...

    Question about sweep speed settings vs depth vs iron falsing

    I posted this in another forum but thought I'd ask it here too. I have been trying to find what settings work best under different scenarios and have been checking signals found with a sweep speed of 1 with different sweep speeds to see if depth is affected and haven't seen a major...

    Interesting park find today ;-)

    It rang up as a solid 35 on the nox and I thought I might have found an old copper coin. Instead it looks like I found the brass from an old round. Any ID' ers?

    A few coins from the first 2 days with my new detector
