Back in the day, metal detecting was looked upon as a curiosity. ALLOWED everywhere. I remember hunting National Park sites and National Seashore beaches on the Cape with no problem. Then, as more...
Under a new reg to take effect July 1, 2014, Metal Detecting is now banned at all MA State Parks and State Ocean Beaches. Except by issuance of a special permit to locate a lost personal article. ...
Has anyone else been having problems with the White's TRX pinpointer. Sold 2 of them. Both came back with problems. 1st one would turn on, but no detect. 2nd one works only at sensitivity 1 or 2....
CZ is cubic zirconia.
Nice find. The color of gold always gets the heart pumping. Unfortunately for us detectorists, gold plated sterling is becoming more common as it has the look of gold, but is far cheaper. The...
Didn't you say something to those pigs? Set them straight? It's because of them that the beach might be closed to metal detecting next time you go there.
Pretty freaky. You will probably be haunted by their faces. I think it's a sign not to disturb their belongings or resting place.
The signal cones out. detects around the tip and also the handle area. See diagram. As a bonus, it will also detect rocks!!! No kidding.
Looks plated. Soak the covers in a nitric acid bath to remove the base metal and be left with gold.
Received the TRX yesterday. I can't field test it as there is 18 inches of snow pack, frozen everywhere.
Air tests for depth - clad quarter - 4.5 inches, silver quarter - 5 inches, clad dime - 3.5...
Have a couple on order. Will give a review when they come in. No matter how good it is, NOTHING can compare to the inline Sunray probes with their disc and ID readings.
The most memorable for myself was back in the days when my Dad and I would go out metal detecting at parks and beaches. Getting up before the break of dawn and heading out to find those treasures. ...
No Longer Available - LOI. Off to Ebay.
For sale - Whites Coinmaster GT metal detector. New in box. $298 shipped.
The Coinmaster GT combines simplicity with high-end features in a detector that excels at coinshooting and finding...
Got out on Saturday at a park for a 4 hour hunt before the arctic blast hits on Sunday. Temps were in the 30's, wind chill in the 20's. It's always amazing to me how people for centuries can walk...
Wow, great finds. especially the Indians. Where I am, the Indians come out all corroded. Basically, CoinStar fodder. Congrats.
Handhelds are too cumbersome and useless. Make a good INLINE probe with disc properties and depth up to 5 or 6 inches. A probe that becomes part of the metal detector like the Sunray probes.
Fantastic find. But, a question - where was it found - in a new park, old park, cellar hole, old house yard, woods :huh:thinkingabout:? Thanks.
You've got to be kidding. The sunray probe is worlds ahead of any handheld. The sunray uses your detectors disc pattern and sensitivity = only pinpoints the good target not the junk, 3 - 5 inches...
Just trying to help out :dontknow:
Great finds, Rob. It's amazing that in our area there is still soooo much to be found after 45 years of scouring with metal detectors. Now, please buy a better camera to sharpen the closeup shots.
Rob, minelab designed it that way. You have to buy minelab headphones or specially modified gray ghost or sunray headphones. Proprietary $$$$, tbats the word. Holy, custom chip Batman!!!!
Rob, If you seriously want a reference for the CTX - Loan the machine to Angel for a few weeks so he can put it thru it's paces.
Anyone have a Detectorpro Uniprobe POCKET pinpointer for sale?
I tried the Pistol Probe. But trying to keep the button pressed is a real challenge.
IMO All the other handhelds are junk. Garrett,...
