    Deus 2 Arriving today

    And not a moment too soon: 1. elbow sill sore from swinging my etrac for 3 hours Saturday ( my wife stole my Legend) and 2. heading to the OR coast Thursday. I won't have any cell/internet coverage there and will start swinging right out of the box, so would appreciate any advice anybody is...

    It was a dig everything day...

    Hit a usual haunt with my kid. Finds are getting hard to, er, find, so it was a dig everything day. EMI was just awful, I put the Legend on 4 hz, and my boy had a hell of a time with his ATMax. Ronstar showed up and then this popped up out of the ground, with an 18 signal-- which is usually...

    Some recent finds

    Last week's haul. Because of EMI issues in public spots I hunt, I've been swinging the Legend the last few times instead of my etrac. Two back to back Barbers-- one of which has tar or something on it-- at a local park. Coinstar rosie. Trade token at the same local park. Merc at a local...

    2022 bucket lister! Snake river silver... is there anything the Etrac can't do?

    The emi was pretty tough, but patience and perseverance pays off!

    No idea where I found this....

    Found this... somewhere. Wasn't silver so I didn't care. When I found it, it was folded into a neat square. I promptly forgot about it. Pouch started getting heavy, dumped it all out to sort... 1904 election watch fob. Probably copper. Sadly, the Roosevelt/Fairbanks medallion is missing...

    Delivering champagne netted me 3 silvers

    Some friends live in a 1909 home-- I owed them for a couple lunches this summer, was never able to return the favor as they are in covid lockdown. As I can't return the favor, I dropped off some bubbly for the holiday. I never asked to detect their place, because it has already been detected...

    E trac rocked it today.

    Went back to a permish I hit last week, swinging buddy Ron decided to hit other pastures. Found a total of 3 silvers, 1 buff and 9 wheats, all less than 3" deep, in a sea of nails that are 4"-9" deep. The yard is 50x150. I'm still beta testing Elmy's magic program, which is based around his...

    Always look!

    While hunting buddy Ronstar was trying to put venison in the freezer, I decided to go to a usual haunt. A block a way, I stopped to chat with a friend taking a walk, then a friend of hers walked by-- my friend said to her friend, 'you should let him detect your yard!" She was down with that...

    Etrac vs Nox-- a short hunt with the missus

    My better half has been wanting to try detecting, so we went out yesterday for an hour. This would be her second time out. She swung the nox because of the weight. I was swinging a new 12x10 on the Etrac, beta testing a new program Elmy was kind enough to share. Another tester calls it the...

    An Elmy shout out....

    Took the etrac out today, with my six inch coil. Program of the day, Elmy's 1-10. Went to a spot I have pounded with etrac (tornado coil), ctx (stock coil) and Nox, about 8 or 9 times. Found 9 clad dimes and one wheat penny that I've missed. How the hell does that happen? Ronstar and I met...

    The Equinox sucks

    Sunday morning last: I go back to where Ronstar found a Barber dime. The Saturday he found it, I gridded with the Nox an hour later. Zip. The next day I go back with the Etrac and gridded the same 100 sq feet-- Score! Just 5' away from Ronstars plug: 1937 Merc. this isn't the first time...

    While Ronstar is busy showing off... lol

    Our schedules were at odds today-- I hunted in the morning for coin, then late forenoon for birds, then late afternoon we met up-- I found this little gem with the ctx. It was an iffy signal day, and I found this baby 8" deep in a spot I've been over many times-- just 4" away from a seated...

    Two in the hole

    Been a stellar week-- 2 WA's, an IH, 2 Rosies and a Merc. Today was slow. But finding two old nickels in the same hole is a first for me.

    '41 Merc

    Fellas-- never pass a coinstar w/o checking. A sweet Merc plus $2.85 in clad in the till! That's silver dime number 3 for the year out of Safeway's CS. Won't upload a pic-- we all know what they look like..

    When Ronstar is away, his buddy will play....

    Ronstar has some lame excuse for being out of town. So I went to a usual haunt, and about 100' from where he found a Peace dollar, I got a solid silver signal with my CTX. Much to my amazement, out pops an artillery shell. WTH? On the headstamp: '37mm Model 1916'. The AEF's bunkerbuster...

    Glad I dug!

    Ronstar and I met up to hunt around where he found a Peace dollar yesterday. It was Etrac's turn, so promptly got to work-- today was going to be an 'iffy' signal day. 4 hours later, had a Merc and a war nickel in the pouch. Not going to bother with pics-- we all know what they look like...

    The Nox lost today...

    Yesterday evening went back to a usual haunt and wandered with the 800-- park1 Andy S. I hit a wheat, then gridded out from there until dusk-- total of 4 wheats and misc clad. Wasn't until I got home that I discovered one of those wheats was a '06 Indian. Damned cool, as I haven't found many...

    One way signals

    Ok-- I have spent a couple hundred hours on the Nox now. One thing I have learned, in my conditions, that you dig a one way signal, as long as that one way signal is repeatable at 90 degrees. On my ctx/etrac you are pretty much guaranteed trash with these signals. But over the last couple...

    Another first for me

    Ronstar and I got up early, headed to a usual haunt. Trying to beat the heat, but couldn't avoid the forest fire smoke. Additionally, been having a slow spell, so really wanted to dig some silver. Took the Nox for a walk. Very first signal (park 1) a 24. "Cool, a wheetie", I thought. Out...

    Nox-- first impressions

    11 hours of heavy swinging on the 800-- I was using a modified AndyS for Park 1 and original Park 2, and went to a local spot I've hit pretty hard over a couple years. My plan was to dig everything, and everything was dug. As I'm a glass is half empty kind of guy, I usually focus on the...
