    Search-Dig sequence?

    I'm still pretty new to detecting and have found a sequence for search-dig that I'd like your feed back on. I glued little flags to some 1/16 inch diameter, foot long, steel rods and when I go out detecting, I concentrate first on just detecting and I carry only my detector and the flags. When...

    Detector questions

    I use a Garrett ACE 300 and I'm still pretty new to this fascinating hobby. I was wondering how many detectorists actually use the wide velcro strap that goes around the fore arm on the back end your detector? I can't see that it really helps much with control, and working your arm through the...

    My FIRST nickle and my FIRST dime today!

    Dug 4 plugs today and found some old fence wire, 2 screws, a Lincoln penny (1963), a Jefferson nickle (1995), and a Liberty head dime (1917). All three coins were within 6 feet of each other and I was surprised at how much less corrosion there was on the dime and how well it washed up.

    What is it?

    Working the area around an old farmhouse (built in 1889 but since removed) I dug this up. It looks like maybe an iron wheel off an old 20's or30's toy truck? It's about 3 inches in diameter. Any suggestions? Should I try to clean it up more?

    At home metallurgical tests?

    I'm still really new to metal detecting (I've only been out 4 times since Christmas) and was wondering what kinds of metallurgical testing can be done at home to determine if a heavily corroded piece of metal is brass, silver, copper, lead, gold, etc. Thanks,

    Garrett Newbie Here

    Good morning. This is my first post. I am brand new to the sport and have recently purchased a Garrett ACE 300 "kit" to include the detector, pin pointer, coil cover, etc. I am really enjoying the hobby and enjoy the ease of use of the Model 300. I live on an island off the coast of...
