    Slim pickings

    Here's the stuff that didn't get thrown away from my last few hunts at a spot I continuosly hunt because it's big , it's near , somewhat hidden and nobody bugs me . It's been pounded for years but every once in awhile it gives something up .The best four coins of the bunch were the heavily...

    Crush the Zincs !!!!

    A house down the street is in the process of getting a new lawn and sprinkler system. The people there were kind enough to let me detect it . I offered to split evenly what I found .The owner said you can keep it all . I thanked him and told him If I found something of significant value I would...

    Dry sand gold ? Update

    Thought I'd try a little dry sand hunting at the beach today . There were no cuts and the sand was pretty high so I didn't expect much . The targets were very few and far between . I pretty much dug everything . There was a Park Ranger on the beach and he put a couple of signs up closing off a...

    Extreme Beach hunting

    Here's a photo E-mailed to me by a friend that's taken off another forum . The hunter and the beach are not known . Just a little reminder that the sea is not always friendly .

    4hrs. 4 coins 1/4

    It didn't rain Sunday so I took the dog and my detector and off we went to one of my old standby places . This place has been hit hard , I only had 1 nickel and a few pulltabs and trash after the first 3 hrs. and was feeling quite discouraged . I was actually leaving when I saw this little grove...

    Son of a gun.....

    Had some errands to run so being as I was going to be burning up that $4.29 a gallon gas I figured I'd better throw the M6 in the van and look for somewhere new to hunt out of the area . I found a school and I spent about 4hrs. there . No grass just a gopher infested , tree lined , dirt area...

    3rd ring of the year

    I've been extremely busy lately but I managed to get out for 3 hrs. today . <: Took the Dog and hit one of the neaby spots I've been pounding to death . I decided I'd try a hillside that I really hadn't hunted too much before . I figured it had to be good for at least a silver Rosie . Nope , no...

    A T2 tip

    Here's a cheap way to protect the battery box , off/on switch/stand assembly from getting dirty or scratched up in fair weather .......... take an old sock and put a hole in it so you can plug your phones in . After a few times you will get used to turning the off/on/volume switch without having...

    Metal detectors , gear and accessories

    Any chance on adding the Teknetics , Bounty Hunter names to the Fisher name ? Seems like we are starting to get a few more T2 users around here . Possibly First Texas/Fisher in parentheses? I have a hunch we are going to see a lot more members who are going to be swinging the T2's and The Greek...

    1 1/2 hr. hunt

    Accompanied by my Grandson and the family dog I hit this very pounded field behind an old school . This place will never be worked out although it gets tougher and tougher to find anything there .The penny is just a memorial .

    Goodies + mysterious Item

    Went out for an afternoon hunt yesterday and bagged a 45s Merc , 47s wheat , rabies tag , $3.51 in clad and some sort of tray looking object which may be pewter . It was a pleasant day with a couple of really short showers which only lasted a couple of minutes each .Both the SE and I wore our...

    !st Silver coin of 2012

    Today I took the M6 with the 6x10 for a four hour spin . I hit an old school that had given me a two silvers and 5 wheats last year but today was just junk , a car and a portion of another . In desperation I drove to a heavily hit park and repounded an area of old trees I had hunted a few times...

    First 2012 Silver and Gold (class ring)

    I wasn't even going to go out today but I pushed myself to go out for a 2hr. end of the day hunt .I put the 11 DD back on the T2 and the pooch and I headed out for a bit of fetch and dig at an old Baseball field behind a School that is one of my last resort places . At first all I could dig up...

    Trashy thoughts

    Adios 2011

    Probably one of my worst years as far as finds but it was still great to get out when I could . Even though I was a bit under the weather with some kind of stomach bug I was able to get out for 1 3/4 hrs. yesterday to pick up a very few coins and my last piece of silver for the year , not a coin...

    Don't you hate it when..........

    Don't you hate it when you get a decent signal under a tree root and you bust your butt getting at it and it turns out to be either junk or a Memorial cent ? >:/ Oh well , at least I've done this so many times I've gotten pretty good at repairing the holes ( repair shown in second picture ) ...
