    Road trip to Florida...yes FLORIDA...gave me a 14K Gold Cross w/ 1 carat of baguette diamonds

    This post will be short and sweet since I have some personal training appointments at the gym to get to...but I did want to get it posted. I road tripped to FL just last week and met up with forum member Dewcon4414 and he showed me the ropes of water hunting. No I didn't take the Explorer...

    I will always remember this one. Big Silver smothered in Big Iron:beers:

    There are a million reasons I love this hobby but three three things I love the most...1) The peace and solace as soon as the headphones go on...2) The bonds and friendships formed with fellow hunters or hunting with a great friend...3) A coin found amidst iron in a way that reminds me just how...

    Silver #39 of 2013 was a pretty good one....big and sitting.

    Got out with Big Digger (Brad), Deeponedge (Darrel), and Dave-IL a couple of days ago in some windy, chilly weather...to a field site that B-Rad once again researched and located for us. Illinois weather is a little strange to say the least...60 degrees and a t-shirt on the Harley one day...45...

    I was hoping for another seated...but this hunt was a "BUST"

    I would have liked to post this hunt sooner...as it was on 12/22...but the next day 12/23 I hunted with Brad and Dave again so I didn't have time to upload pics and do the write up. Then that same night of (23rd) my Dad got very sick during the night...and in fact we took him to the hospital...

    My first impressions and field test in progress of the new RNB Innovations ML-2900 Lithium-Ion Explorer/E-Trac battery. UPDATED w/ pics of battery on

    GOOD ...because this dang thing hasn't dropped a bar lower even after 7 hours of solid hunting!:thumbup: I think this could end up being one of the best assets to Explorer/E-Trac users in many years. The following is a true statement and my friend Dave will verify it. The last time we hunted...

    You'd be worn out and ugly too if you had been standing straight up for 156 years:smile:

    After spending the day yesterday hunting with my buddy Darrel; I was able to squeeze in a 2 hour hunt today with Dave-IL at our field site that we were told had been hunted out a couple of years ago when we were granted permission to hunt it. It has been a lot of fun over the last 2 hunting...

    Field hunt til dark in 60 mph winds :surrender:caused me to take a seat....LITERALLY!

    Talk about a wild ride...this hunt on Sunday was it. The farmer finally got his corn out and gave us permission to hunt...but it was like working in a stubbly wind tunnel. Earlier it wasn't to bad but as it got closer to dark; it got very nasty. It was all I could do to stay upwards and on...

    A forum survey here: Conductive or Ferrous? How many of you....

    hunt in Conductive sounds with some iron mask? How many of you hunt in ferrous sounds with an open screen? Please respond to the thread with either "Conductive"....or "Ferrous"...and please don't give the reasons as to why because this is NOT a debate and is NOT about which way is "better"...

    A very deep needle in a haystack. My deepest ever,:thumbup:

    I was very excited when Big Digger (Brad) told me the corn had been harvested and we could now get to our favorite field for the first time since last year. However he also told me the stalks had not been worked...were close together...and almost knee high. This was okay with me because even...

    Quest for gold gives me an UNEXPECTED GRAND SLAM FIRST:surprised: and an 11" DEEP Injun':thumbup:

    I haven't been on the forum since Friday as I needed a break. I will also answer pm's sent to me over the weekend as time allows. I don't show finds nearly as much as I used to and only get a small percentage of what I find posted...but I just don't like to post every few days because I don't...

    Forest Park St. Louis hunt: 2 Monkees, an Injun', 3 haircuts, and a horse:clapping:

    Yesterday 8/31/12..I needed a break from all the obvious "hoopla" lately:cool: as well as to be able to just relax and hunt...without any experimenting, comparing, taking notes, switching detectors, flagging undug targets...etc. For cryin' out loud that's all I've done for the last two months...

    Howdy fellers'. The following post includes many weeks of personal thoughts, opinions, findings, comparisons, hard work, etc. I decided to leave the thread locked because I'm not looking for anyone to jump on my band wagon...and I'm not looking for anyone to "flame" me either. I have been...

    Doc's new Ultra Swingy-Thingy is....

    a GREAT tool to lighten the load of heavier coils or to simply make a coil feel "weightless" to lengthen your hunt time. It will also take the pressure off your back, shoulder, and elbow so you don't feel like you're doing all the work of carrying the load. I was able to use this tonight for 3...

    How many of you utilize the capabilities of a small coil?...and if so which one is YOUR favorite?

    Some people might not have anything but the stock coil so this post might help to open up some of their sites again in the trash infested spots.
