Fisher F22 review I bought another detector a Fisher F22 from my local dealer, with the 9 inch teardrop coil. I bought a round 7 inch concentric coil to use on it and put the 9 inch teardrop coil on my F5. I had looked at many F22 videos and read the forums on the F22 and F44 units. Very good...

Did an air test with my F70 with 3 F70 coils and a F5 coil. Used the coils for the F70 , the sniper 6.5X3.5, a 11DD a NEL 12.5X8.5 and a F5 10 concentric coil. Set the F70 Sens at 80, the Disc at 15 and the Threshold at -3, in de mode. Passed a cent, a nickel, a dime and a quarter across the...

Found an old Relco Frontiersman on ebay that was actually working,like I had back in 1969 so I decided to compare it to my Fisher F5. Put a fresh 9 volt in the Relco set the threshold, and tested 3 coins. got my F5 and put the gain on 50% and ground balanced to the air. Tested the same three...

Just got the March 2019 issue of Western and Eastern Treasures. Looks like it will be the last printed issue.:shocked02::shocked02: Only online issues in the future. They are supposed to be sending a separate letter with instructions for those who get the printed issues, how to convert to the...

In the August issue of Western and Eastern Treasures, on page 38, is my 7th article published by the magazine. It is titled "Ground Coverage 101", and I hope everyone will enjoy it. Robbie Morin

I have been reading some other forums and also noticed that there are a lot of metal detector users who say they are in "the sport of metal detecting". I know we all want to have the "best finds", and this is just a question-----------not asked to make anyone offended----------but do you metal...

Went out coin hunting to 2 city parks I haven't been to in a few years (play areas re-modeled) and also to 2 schools that were totally rebuilt and their play areas were also re-done. At one of the schools, they had cut the play area equipment to almost half of what it had been, and covered up...

Finally got out this morning to do some detecting.Two hours at a still in use local schoolyard, built in the mid 1920's and had to go slow with the sensitivity up on my Fisher F5. A few other local guys hit this school quite often, so gridding small areas, helps get the deep items they missed...

Here is a section from a 1957 topo map of a location I want to get permission to search. Does anyone know what these ovals and hashmarks represent on a topo map????? I tried looking up the symbols for topo maps and didn't see these on the icons. Any map specialsists on here????

Look closely at the card....................

Want to get a sharpshooter coil that is a little larger than the Fisher 5 inch round coil but smaller than the Fisher 8 inch round coil for the Fisher F5. Fisher offers a coil that is about 4X6 for the F70/F75----that size is what I am looking for. Didn't see a listing for one like it for the F5...

but this one is NOT about metal detecting. In the last few years, I've had 6 articles published in W&ET about metal detecting. In a small specialized car magazine call Nova Times (articles about old Chevrolet Novas) Sept./Oct. 2014 issue an article I wrote was published. It was about a couple...

I had hoped Santa would bring me one of these in my stocking................but it didn't happen............:grin:
