Ideas what could be causing this - Using a coil cover? (Take it off) Water/debris trapped between cover and coil? You say it is sealed...don't bet on it. A pinhole is all it takes. I'm in agreement...

The 18kt ring VDI was a not so steady 60 to 66, kind of choppy actually. I really thought it was one of those zinc pennies. Like the ones that tend to break down badly and really leave a nasty halo...
Isn't it a shame when the intent of an ordinance or law is subject to change without notice. I have permission to detect in my hometown parks from the park supervisor even with those same ordinances....
Congratulations on the rings recoveries. Gold is good. I continually to hunt an old park that has been hunted by many over the years. I've had great conversations with other detectorists there. Every...
Thanks so much for the kind words, it is greatly appreciated. To be honest with you, I did get a thrill when I recovered that ring. When I returned it and saw alligator tears, what can I say? The...
Do I feel guilty about recovering a ring? Absolutely not, especially one that was buried as deep as this one. I've often wondered why someone would be wearing an expensive piece of jewelry to places...
Went detecting Saturday. First stopped at a little park with a tot lot. I stayed longer than I planned. It just wasn't from the retrievals, it was a very entertaining morning. It appears that 6...
I'm going on my second year with my V3i. Some of you have been through it all since its inception. The v3, you all experimenting and field testing through that one. Then comes along the V3i upgrade....
There's nothing gets my heart going quicker than the glint of gold being exposed from the ground whether it's jewelry or coins. There's nothing prettier (after looking a tons of clad) than the art of...
Got my:
1. Teknetics 9000 COINCOMPUTER of days gone by. (The critter still works)
2. Whites DFX - which was my introduction in these new fangled, high tech
machines. (my backup)
3. Whites V3i...
How did I miss this one? Very good. Everything is flush in the world.
I like to call these kind of cars Nostalgia cars. Sure do bring back the memories of the days of muscle and pony cars. I owned a Mopar pony car, 1970 Duster 340.
Back in the day, it was easy to burn...
Congratulations on the 45th year. May you have many more years of great recoveries and good memories. One question though. Do you still have that first detector? Sure would like to hear a story or...
Let's get together. I sent you PM with my contact information. Looking forward to meeting you.
To Stringmo from Firstring. Welcome to the forum you old goat. It's good someone was smart enough to tell you about this forum. Show us some of the goodies you find with that new machine. Great...
How cool can that be? What a great find. Not too many of those bad boys around. It pays to be observant no matter where you go. Congratulations on a great recovery.
Those must have been mountain goats. One side short legs, the other side long legs.
(I've been on the bus once too many times)
I went out swinging the detector ther other day, other than lots of clad, not much happening. Came home and told the wife the ground is getting pretty hard like it gets in the summer. Not because...

You make MD'ers proud to recover and return ring. Thanks for posting the story. May 2012 bring to you many more great finds and happy days. With that bottle of wine, I know at least one more happy...

Great way to end the year. May 2012 be generous to all. Happy new year. Out with old takes on a new meaning for you. Congratulations.
What a great hunt you had, great recoveries. Beautiful ring. Rubbish you recovered, for me would be exciting finds. You just never know what you are going to find. Pepsi hunting and digging on the...
