There is a reason to save the bottle caps. Miller has a promotion running that will provide a few bucks to help out returning vets. Each cap returned is worth 10 cents.

I have two primary hobbies. I like to build guitars and metal detect. When I take the time to detect I end up with a ton of junk. While surfing around I happened to notice that the Steam Punk...

I was using a V3i, 12 coil and had coil boost on just to see how it worked. The VDI was in the low 40's. I was surprised at how small the token was.

Found one of these in the grass, about 5 inches down, in a park near Sacramento. A very small token. Smaller than a dime in fact.

Thanks tumbleinn .. I'll take a look at one of those.

Welcome Aboard Sir. :)

Thanks for the input Jack.

I've heard nothing but good about the customer service at White's and that was a prime consideration when I selected and purchased the detector.

My experience with...

My V3i was steady as a rock for the first six months. Then it started.

There were days when it refused to see a surface target and then other days when it seemed to work normally. After many...

About 155 coins.

I was still finding targets but got tired of all of the bending and digging and went home. Came back a day later and couldn't find a thing. Apparently some one else was in a bit...

I'm a new guy and thinking of wandering around the foothills with my V3i this year. I thought a smaller coil than my D2 might be an easier thing to maneuver around rocks and other objects.

I clean out the junk at the local tot lot a couple of times a week. It seems the garbage/dangerous junk problems peak whenever the graffiti begins to appear.

Interestingly, never find any coins...

Could this be a new way to prospect.

I've noticed a post or two in a lost and found with this line or one similar to it.

To claim the REWARD, simply send a digital photo of the ring along...

I'm relatively new to this hobby. Been at it for about six months now and have only found one silver coin. I have found quite a few silver rings, bracelets, watches and other stuff along with a fair...

Thanks for the kind words about the old marine and his ability to sing a great old song.

There are many talented people out there. I often wonder why idiots get hired and skilled artists don't....

They need to let an old troop sing it. He even knew the words to the 4th verse.

Well you might tell it to the network guy. I'm sure he would smile, wink at his buddies and agree with you. Sounds like you made his point.

As soon as I find Kiddo I'll see if he has anything to...

I apologize in advance if this Super Bowl ad is deemed to be inappropriate. :grin:

Some many years ago I heard a low level network guy say The primary reason shows like Survivor are on the air is that the people watching them are dumber than those acting in them.

Sounds about...

They found one while digging at Fort Worden some years ago.

This show is what you get when you mix a bunch of drama queens, poor writing and a flawed concept.

I gave up on it.

For years folks have been telling me I ain't worth a plugged nickel.

Today I found one.

The blasted thing just doesn't look like me. Not sure what they were talking about. :grin:

Looks like the ray gun Will Smith used in Men In Black.

I'll bet he'd like it back. :grin:

As I noted in the original post I sometimes see my screen name as an active user before I login. Doesn't always happen which prompted the original question regarding someone else using my screen...

Doesn't seem to work that way for me.

When I login I normally select 1 day for the active period and when I leave the forum I logout.

When I return, normally the next day, I frequently see my...
