    Back to the old homestead foundation tonight.

    This is the place with all the iron in the ground and thousands of bottle caps and where I found the Washington half penny. Went detecting tonight for 2 1/2 hours with a friend of mine who owns a DFX. He would like to get a CTX but can't afford it right now. He just bought my Excalibur from...

    Possible Washington 1783 half penny!

    Went out for a short hunt (2hrs) yesterday to an old site that I have hit many times before. It is an old homestead, just the foundation showing now, but was built in late 1700's and played a local role in the war of 1812. Around 1960 the house burnt down, the rest was torn down and the...

    On track to have the machine paid off in 10 days!

    On my first outing I found 25 pennies and a dime. The next day I doubled that finding 2 quarters, 2 nickles and 10 pennies. The day after that I doubled again finding 2- $1 coins, 1 dime, 2 nickes and 10 pennies. Before heading out tonight I joked with my wife that I need to find over $5...

    First day out and thoughts

    For what it is worth, here are my thoughts and results from day 1. When assembling the machine there is a bag with adapters for the battery charger that will fit into any wall plug anywhere. I was impressed with this. That I can take my machine to Europe and bring the charger, switch the...

    How many have the same problem?

    Salivating over this new machine, knowing that it is the absolute best out there, knowing that you WILL find more old coins at your hunted out spots, but just can't justify spending what amounts to a good used car or boat on a metal detector? With taxes, waterproof head phones and large coil...

    XT505 first finds

    Hello to all. It has been so long since I've posted that many may think I am new here!:lol: I didn't get out detecting at all last year, not once! This year thankfully has been better. Just wanted to share a little experience I had over the last 2 weeks to encourage those Xterra users. I...

    Excalibur or Sea Hunter Mark II (Or Infinium)

    I own a Minelab Excal which is being sent around the world it seems for repairs. Summers being short, I am thinking of buying another water machine. Has anyone used either the Sea Hunter Mark II or Infinium and how do they compare with the Minelab Excalibur? I know they are PI units, but they...

    Minelab Service: "Is it C.O.Y.L.E. or C.O.I.L.?"

    Now I am a supporter of Minelab and think their machines are great, however it seems that things are going downhill and this post is just me venting. I know they were bought out not long ago and moved their Ireland manufacturing to Philippines, which I believe is the main issue. I sent in my...

    Xterra30 cashed in clad

    Well, I haven't posted here in a coons age, but just a little note here at the end of the year. I have been throwing my found clad in a bucket for the last two years, tumbling to clean. My boys and my wife rolled it all a few weekends ago and we cashed in $211. Not bad. I am not retired so I...

    Would like to know how many are happy with the Etrac vs are not.

    Haven't posted in a long time, have had an extremely busy summer and didn't get out detecting that much. Just last week heard of this new machine and am seeing lots of positive and negative posts on it. Just wondering, of those who have used the explorer and now have an Etrac - is it worth the...

    Absolutely Great service from Minelab!

    I sent in my used Excalibur I purchased on Ebay to Minelab for a "once-over". I packed it with a letter explaining that I wanted all the stickers replaced, knobs replaced, the headphones needed repair and the unit tested. It was in real rough shape when I bought it and there was no warranty...

    Hey you Pirates! Where can I buy a sand scoop near Cocoa Beach?

    Going for a vacation and don't want to haul my larger scoop with me. Any ideas? I know Kellyco is about 30mins from the airport in Orlando, but is there anywhere closer to the Beach itself? Thanks and HH I check in here often to drool over the great finds you guys are pulling out. Keep it up!

    How many of you would like to see an inline probe for the XTerra?

    Like the Sunray X-1? It makes locating the target so much easier and you save tons of time. Apparently Minelab won't let Sunray in on the technology required, for patent reasons, so I think it would be great if Minelab made one as an accessory. Anyway, just thinking out loud. HH MM

    Woohooo!

    Happy New Year everyone! The snow has mostly melted here and the ground is mostly thawed out. Today I went for my first detecting of the spring and found my oldest coin to date! A 1781 North America Token! I hadn't even heard of these before. I also found a 1909 V Nickle to boot! My first V...

    It Must be Christmas!

    Like I said, I have been incredibly busy lately, and haven't been out for about a month, but this afternoon I went out detecting for 2hrs at a local park that has been hit many many times by many different detectorists in the city. It is an old park that has a carosel that is 100 years old this...
