i dont have a camera yet but soon will. hey yall its good to talk to ya, i appreciate the good feedback. been detecting over 25 years and still learn something new every time i go out. last weekend was detecting a small skirmish site when some guys with minelabs showed up and asked me the best places to detect. i pointed out areas that i made good finds in and even told them where id been. they spent 10 min. looking and got impatient,got mad and left. shrugged it off and found 2 3 ringers where theyd been. some people are just too impatient!!!

Yes they are,glad to here from you ,at least I know someone else is reading this form now. Have not been detecting that long but sure am enjoying what I get to do.I have had what was to be the best detector going, didn't work that great for me and someone Else thought they needed it worst than me so I found this 202 and it is a fun detector to use. First time out found a coin spill with 3 quarters,2dimes,3pennies. best part 2 of the quarters were silver.enjoy your self detecting.

hey jeff and woldog i felt so good pulling that half real out of the ground , but i really felt bad too. i was having a bad day had looked for a while,it was hot,sweating,mayflies divebombing me and i got frustrated and called the 202 a piece of junk, it wasnt 10 seconds later heard a half weak/half good beep. i just sat there with it in my hand feeling so foolish and embarassed at myself. glad nobody else saw me. i wont talk like that again anytime soon! my other half real is a 1781, found with a whites coinmaster in 1992.

[quote GRAY GHOST][attachment 67537 buttons1.jpg][/quote] hey fellas, like i promised here is a pic of recent finds w/ the 202. the one row of shiny yank buttons are replicas that belonged to my dad. all of the rest are authentic civil war buttons. included : a gorgeous sc state, a yank kepi button[rare to find] 2 plain eagle u.s. buttons, 2 u.s. pants/fly buttons, and many pewter, brass, and silverplated confederate flat buttons. the hunting has been good in the last several years. 80% of the buttons were found with my pioneer 202

[Steve(MS)]

would love to see your part of the country but between bills and making a living, haha, well you know the rest but maybe one of these days. After seeing your finds, couldn't resist on the comment of you needing a hunting partner.
People who metal detect are the best folks around.
