My stepson and I set out to find something good today. He's a corrections officer and a brick wall if I haven't clarified that. He's a great companion and really likes detecting. He scored a 1912 D V nickel and I was so happy for him. It's important to me for him to keep finding something cool...

Saturday 4-11 I decided to try a 1950's era school in the hopes I could score one deep overlooked silver coin. The three hits that I'd call deep and sweet produced two pieces of sterling and a clad quarter. I was using my V3i with 12 x 10 SEF. I recall that sterling spoon is bent up like a...

Actually my friend found it but he does not have Internet or a cell phone. Told I know where to post it up. Yup, the 1860 quarter came from the same site. I'm betting on del....

Tuesday and Wednesday we spent time in a picnic grove that goes back over 200 years. Lots of clamshells and other signs that the area was popular in a bygone, slower paced era. A total of 10 coppers invl 5 Connecticut coppers. Credit for the Muttonhead variety goes to my stepson, Casey. The cool...

A few forum members local to me know a little about my absence. It's a too long a story for one post so I will condense it. July 2 on Cape Cod I'm finding a gold and silver ring, my bride is relaxing, life is sweet. July 3 I double over on the beach in pain that nearly paralyses. I did try to...

Saturday was a great day to be outside, just a boy and his detector. My goal was any silver coin so I went to a heavily pounded park that I used to spend entire days at 20 years ago. I've dug over 100 silver coins and a full one third have been Barber designs. Once I did find 1 cc seated dime...

Hey I'll be thinking of you all and may get a chance to check out the forum between margaritas & honeymoo fun. The surf rages where we stay unlike the top of the 7 where ya actually water detect. Only bringing the Coinmaster Pro for the dry sand. Considered bring my heavy jitters PI & Sov GT but...

:smitten: a few you know me personally from the club or meeting up on a site. We have been engaged over 2 years (together over 4) and just wanted to git er done. This was a simple quiet ceremony done by my friend who is a JP. Leaving 2/25 for a week in Cancun. Yes we are taking a detector, not...

I took Feb 8th off to hunt a saltwater beach so I can learn the Sov GT. Only my second time using this Sovereign, both being at the same badly mineralized beach. I took home a vial of the reddest sand and there is plenty of black sand as well. It was really fun using that GT on the beach...

<} Had less than 2 hours to swing it after I got out of a routine doctor visit. Had to get some meds (like last year) for Cancun to combat the family of parasites that took up residence in my colon last year, should they find me again. That I can dig this time of year is so unusual. Back to the...

A short hunt on Super Bowl Sunday, less than 3 hours. Back at the site I was at about a week ago that gave up the red clad incl the '95 clad half. The soil has twice mineralization of my back yard, coming in at well over 7%. nothing except silver and can slaw escapes the the red iron uglies. It...

First time out with the Sovereign GT about 3 1/2 hours at a saltwater beach. The iron debris is severe there and the iron mask feature was very good and necessary. There is black sand but red sand is so abundant and it gives the beach a red glow in the late December sun. Coins were found to...

I'm interested in comments from experience using the V3i in high trash / iron sites. I know the basics regarding smaller coil, correlate setting, increase the speed of target response aka decrease delay between signals. I have kept an old two filter Classic ID for really trashy areas where I...

Enjoyed some time at a cellar hole with del & coinnut Saturday. We met at sunrise after logging over an hour drive time. Unfortunate for me the limited time shared hunting didn't land anything good in my pouch. We all were sporting a piece of blaze orange with shotgun blasts in the distance...

I was looking to place some relics of the same period in a riker box. Solid brass and unadorned. Searching various web sites I have not nailed it down. Hoping someone knows these. Thanks!
