Had a few hours to kill after chores this morning, so took a ride and tried out a park that a section of had been fields maybe 100 years ago. Nothing too old, and the park itself isn't all that old either. Started on the fields side, getting the usual park finds shallow, but also was getting...

Met at Lee's house first and took his wheels to meet his friend Chris a couple towns away, who had a few spots for us to try out. Chris comes out of the house, and I recognize him from the fishing site ctfisherman.com here in CT (same screen name too). Although, it's been 8-10 years maybe...

I didn't find any good reviews on the Tenergy cells Giant. Sure, they're cheap, but that's about it. Lack of consistency between cells makes for bad battery packs with shorter lives. Kind of like rowers in a boat. Ideally you'd like to be able to buy 8 cells matched for charge times, discharge...

So, one of the things that factored into me finding detecting was that my best friend who got me interested in fishing 15 years ago, isn't interested in fishing much the past few years. Wound up selling off some gear recently as a result, leaving me with a pair of rod racks with vacancies. Had...

Think this was trip #4 with the British Bulldog. Lee's a blast to detect with, so always a good time. And couldn't ask for much of a better day. It was my turn again to pick a spot for us to hunt, which is tough in consideration of Lee's experience versus mine, but had a place in mind I know he...

So, got a PM from a guy last week on a fishing site I've been on for a dozen years. Lost his wedding ring while clearing leaves out of the yard a couple weeks ago. He must have saw my report on detecting in our Outdoors forum from earlier in the summer, and got hold of me. Headed over this...

Before I got into dirt fishing this year, I enjoyed regular fishing (and still do). So I got a PM last week from a guy on I site I've been on forever. He lost his wedding ring while raking leaves, and needs a hand. Even better, he's only a town away in Stafford. The found rings stories are super...

Nice find there Nes. Congrats on your 1'st military piece! Pretty sure I joined the club a couple months ago, but it's super toasted. Has the same field of dots as yours does, and the reverse side has what I believe is a wire shank (rookie guess). Tried ID'ing it online, but button sites are...

Did some morning chores and shopping while waiting for the weather to clear out a bit. Could see clear skies coming so took a bit of a ride to a park with a decent sized beach. Got all the way there to see a sign posted, no detecting. D'oh... Plan B was large park with a little of everything...

This weekend's mission was to try and get on someone's 1700's lawn, and/or a recently cleared property probably ripe with old goodies. I got double-disappointed. The cleared property fail was a bit of a surprise, and a bummer as it looks to be getting developed soon. So, headed out for the ol'...

Thank you Robbie. Got plenty of junk stainless silverware over the years, so put a couple bends in a spoon handle to hang over the rim of the cup, and have a clip tab. The solution I had strained through a coffee filter, and I finished my nail tonight. The stainless spoon is great, doesn't rust...

I doubt Garrett engineered a simple on/off switch for the ProPointer. They picked one out of a catalog, and it's not as sturdy as the rest of the unit. I just need one in my hands to at least try ordering from dimensions/specs. And I'll disagree with you on this one Jim. Making the pinpointer...

This is something I wanted to tinker with not long after getting into detecting, and today was the day. For anyone else wanting to try it, it's pretty easy and cheap. Since all I'm cleaning is small bits for now, I went to the hardware store and picked up 1 quart and 2.5 quart clear paint...

Yeah, saw that on a cleaning vid Drew. Circular motion. Edges were beat up out of the hole. Rev side isn't going to clean up as nice. Don't know Drew. Really don't see covers specifically for the Spectra, but the box is the same as the other series I think. The stand bracket I bought fit. So...

Wow, that was quick! Thanks Tony. Now I have to go back and try and find the cart & dog/goat. :lol:

Did basically the same thing as last Sunday. Spotted a couple walls on Google, then took a ride. Got in a couple hours before a downpour chased me out. First spot was a nice level area that looked promising. Was getting iron targets scattered about, but nothing good sounding. So, started...

But sure was a nice day to be out doing it. Threw my stuff in the car after my morning chores and headed out with no plan whatsoever. No signs of life where I wanted to knock, but noticed the folks that Lee and I had detected a couple weeks ago were home and in the doings. Since it's apple...

I recognize that Drachma. Pulled it and many other odd coins out of circulation before computers did. Neat (and weird) find Bear!

Had some biz to take care of in the AM, but was on the road by noon. What a fantastic day to be outside. Sunny, cool, and breezy. Drove by 2 houses I want to hit, but no signs of life at either, so I headed out to a new park for a few hours. Got lucky and found a place not too trashy, and...

I mentioned having this Friday off during our last hunt, so my phone rang this morning while I was doing some early chores. Gave Lee a ring back, and he tossed the ball in my court for some soil to hit, and took a ride to my place. A town square and real small park in an older town had been on...
