    Deus update

    👍Please let us know how it does with the iron falsing, TID, and spurious responses with higher max frequencies. Some annoyances (I don’t know if I would call it an “issue”) have been reported for the HF2. On the flip side, the HF2 and V3 are apparently more stable and handle EMI better. How...

    Deus update

    Headphones and controller need to be on the same version. Coil and pinpointer are fine. Out of curiosity, what coil and what version? After reading enough comments, I’m leaving my controller on version two for my black coils.

    Fossil

    Possibly a cephalopod.

    Just standing around

    Nice find! I have only found one walking liberty half, and it was a dense bed of nails and also had an iron spot on it.

    River finds today....

    Looks like you might have covered your gas money. That would make a good day for me!

    New to this…

    My first thought is coral of some sort. If it fizzes with dilute hydrochloric acid, it is limestone. However, since people post rock and metal detecting finds here, I need to ask an obvious question - was it found with a detector?

    Can anyone help me identify this rock?

    I grew up on the coast of Oregon. It looks like what I would call a jasp-agate (jasper and agate). I have cut some in my saws. You will likely find the inside is vuggy, and parts are softer than others. If you are lucky, some of the slabs will contain some vug-free areas large enough (and...

    V3.1 - Final

    Apparently version 3.1 - final (not beta) is out. Anybody have a chance to try it out with the standard coils? I primarily use the 11 x 13 and do not have the HF2.

    Strange find

    Looks like the host rock is a gneiss. At some point, it was fractured, and the fracture was filled with a softer substance (possibly fault gouge). The softer fracture fill then eroded faster than the host rock. The whole thing looks rounded, so I am guessing it was tumbled in a river or along...

    Any ideas? And how?

    Looks metamorphic to me not igneous.

    Is this a geode?

    It appears to be solid clear through and not hollow. Is it spherical? If both are true, it is not a geode, although geodes are common in spots of neighboring Indiana. I suspect it’s also granular if you get a close look at it. It may be an ironstone nodule or concretion. If so, the iron...

    Think I Found The Old Home Place

    I have seen some references to privies in the 1600s. I have to wonder if those rock piles were actually the spoil piles and most of the dirt has been washed out and downhill.

    Think I Found The Old Home Place

    Looks like a site worthy of many return visits. Look at the topography and figure where you would want to put an out house for privacy, ventilation, and ease of access from the main house. I understand they could’ve been a half a mile or more in a downwind direction. Of course, a lot of work...

    My first gold with the D2!

    I was finally able to drop by the local pawn/jewelry shop and they were able to confirm it is a 14 karat ring!

    My first gold with the D2!

    You got that right!

    My first gold with the D2!

    Thanks! There is a local pawn/jewelry shop which checked some stones for me (not diamonds…). I plan to take it there and see.

    My first gold with the D2!

    I decided to try a couple new places, so I picked up a permit for some local parks. I thought I would try to see if I could find some structures shown on a late 1800s topo. So, I loaded up Cal Topo and headed out. I turned on my D2 just to see if I could find any nail beds on the way out. I...

    Need help identifying this find.

    That certainly sounds like a mica schist.

    Need help identifying this find.

    It appears to be layered, and it appears to be micaceous. Do you have little shiny flecks all over it, some of which can flake off? If so, I am thinking a weathered mica schist.

    Found a couple of silvers today

    A two silver day is always good in my book!
