Hello, I am new to metal detecting but I am ready as well. I invested over the winter on equipment and watched just about every video in English on youtube. I am from buffalo NY wondering if there is anyone out there near me looking to go hunt ? I have a 705 x-terra w coiltek 6 inch digger coil and pro find 25 pinpointer and lesche .
Welcome to the forum! :waving:
It sounds like you have all the equipment you need. I hope you are able to find some good detecting spots.
Best of luck! Be sure to keep us updated on your progress. :yes:
Thanks I will !!
You must still have a ton of snow on the ground out there Joe ! Welcome to the forum , we have some members east of you . I hope it isn't too long before all the white stuff melts and your able to get some swing time .

I was digging my side yard yesterday to start getting familiar with my machine. But today is a little snowy. Its a unusually lite winter here this year. I found a quarter two pennies all modern and a plated erring. The rest was all cans and tops.
Any ideas were to go detecting in my area or were to look any info would be greatly appreciated.
I'm heading that way this weekend to visit my wife's family. Welcome to the forum!
Welcome to the forum from New Jersey!
Good luck with your new machine and I look forward to your posts!
Thanks everyone , I look forward to finding this to post about !!
Welcome from western MA. Seeing that you are from Buffalo I had to snicker when I read "over the winter". :lol:
Looking forward to your future finds.
Thanks, were having a awesome winter here actually i think we only got like 15- 20 inches compared to the normal 100 inches of snow this year. Weired because the lakes didnt freeze over. Usally that causes more.
Wierd rather....cellphones
Weird...ha
Welcome from Wisconsin and happy hunting!

Thanks, you guys are so welcoming.
Do you guys think the x-terra 705 will do good for a first machine? I was going to get the AT pro but the x terra 705 seems a bit better for me seeing how i dont plan on submerging my machine.
I don't think you will be disappointed in the performance of the 705. Both have pro's and con's its all about learning the machine to get the most out of it. I use minelabs for years and love them but I also have an at-pro so I don't think you could have gone wrong with either (my opinion).
I bought a go find 60 too but my oldest son likes it so much i got the 705 , so i can have a little buddy. I was also thinking if i ask someone for a permission they could join if they wanted. Its pretty easy to use. Coming from the guy who has just tackled his side yard and thats it...lol
Today me and the boys went down to the creek nearby Ellicott creek to be specific and i found what seems to be old bottle cap. is there a web site to date such things. It says trade mark and then in big letters it says green river.
Attachment 57749 This is what it looks like !! My first real find.
green river whiskey bottle cap , I know the company started out in 1885 but I think they were still making it up until 2005. yours does look like it has some age to it .

Welcome to the forum from the cornfields of Illinois! :grin:
Your in prime detecting country! It sounds like you've got the gear, now it's just time behind the coil and learning it's "language". And along the way just pay attention to the signal before you dig and what comes out of the ground from that signal. You'll then start to log a mental log of signals and possible targets. Great fun!

Well, I'm nowhere near you but welcome to the forum nonetheless. Still waiting for the snow to go away here in Washington state as well.
Thanks guys, Its not as easy as i initially thought but I think im starting to get it. Im getting a good feel for the size of the object now. Today I accutally grabbed $1.31 out of the side yard after work in 1 and 1/2 hrs. I wasent digging deep or iffy targets i just went for what i thought was a soild tone and a coin size target. I live in a appartment building to better explaian all the change
there. Attachment 57807
Thanks for finding that out for me del ! I'm thinking 40's but its nothing too crazy anyway just cool to me...lol. digger when i went out today i had your words of wisdom in the back of my head the whole time i went in all metal mode and took my sweet time low and slow. I was pulling up cans and tabs purposely just for the feel. Thanks man you guy's are awesome
