My brother showed me his shortcut to success. And all this time I thought he bought the AT Pro to detect streams and rivers. ( Humor,,, no fountains were pillaged )

Picked up a Sunray probe and a 6X8 sef coil in a package deal. I've only tinkered with it for 5 minutes or so in the test plot, just to confirm function,,,, but I can tell already that I'm gonna like them. My brief trial picked up silver and wheat at 7 inches,,, loud and clear. The probe begins...

Right up the road is an old historic home. The home was once part of a 180 acre farm, which back then also included the lot my house sits on. It is currently owned by the local drywall guy. He also dabbles in detecting and swings an old Bounty Hunter, but is just now getting to understand the...

That's right ladies and gentlemen,,,,, a golden pretzel. It may look like gold,,, but it's knot. I'm scratching my head over what type of twisted jeweler wakes up and says,,, "today I'll make a pretzel". One hour at a new permission got me the pretzel, an old crusty pocket knife,,, and a...

So my co-worker allowed me to return to his home and detect while he was away on vacation. I got an e-mail from him yesterday that simply said "Caught", and these photos were attached. :shocked01: Seems he always puts a deer cam facing his front porch when out of town. ( rough neighborhood )...

Nobody can say I didn't earn this Rosie,,,, I dug a bunch of holes this morning. I went back to my co-workers house where I found my first silver, and slowed down a bit and used headphones. I was rewarded with a 1960 Rosie,, 6 Wheat Cents and $2.15 in clad. After a while, I quit digging anything...

A friend just bought an old house and let me detect it this weekend. The home was not there in the 1949 aerial photo on Historic Aerials, so I wasn't too hopeful for old coins. I found a bunch of 60's and newer coins ( no silver ), but really have only cherry picked it at this point. At the end...

Went my first two years without a silver anything,,, then found two silver items in 3 days,,,, Happy, Happy, Happy!! I got permission to hunt an early 1900's mill house this afternoon. The owner (co-worker) grew up there, and so did his mother. He said as far as he knows no one has ever...

I'm looking for a deal on a Sunray DX1 pinpointer for a White's MXT. Anybody got one laying around?

I got up this morning and went to the local flea market before it got hot. On the way there, I noticed a small curb strip downtown that looked like it would be easily overlooked. On the way back, I stopped off and swung over it. It was a tiny strip of grass, about 50 feet by 18 inches. I found...

Yesterday after work I hit my local old 1800's park,,, the hard hunted one that has totally whipped me and left me empty handed. Well it finally gave up a little trinket,,,,, an old school razor. That, and a couple of 70's memorials was all I found. I used the little 6 inch concentric on the MXT...

Got out for about a half hour on a friends woodlot. Nothing of real interest was found,, but I'm curious over this swiveling-hicky. It rang up high 70's low 80's. Chrome plated. What really puzzles me is that it apparently goes on the end of a wooden dowel or similar.

With the BBQ trail in full swing, I haven't had time to do much detecting. I did get out this weekend for a couple of hours though. The property was originally a civilian residence,, then later was part of a military base. There was a variety of finds, but mostly what I found were bullets...

Having hunted with the new MXT a little bit now, I decided it was time for a test. Would it indeed go deeper that the Ace 350. A year ago, on a friends property I found a 62 clad coin spill. I spent an hour that day working a patch of ground 3 ft. by 3 ft. until I had every signal out of there...

There is a MTX 300 for sale locally. I've sent the guy an e-mail and am waiting to see if still available. In the interim, do you guys/gals have any thoughts on the detector? First off, what's the difference between MTX, MTX 300 and MTX Pro?? As I have posted elsewhere, I'm looking to upgrade...

Well I put in my time this weekend. Tried the old park on Saturday. Then today I hunted a high school, elementary tot lot and an old home site. Still no silver. Not even a wheatie actually. But the home site had promise. Found the remains of the outhouse site,,, looks like a critter has tunneled...

I rode up to Virginia to metal detect with my brother yesterday. He just bought a AT Pro and it was our first time detecting together. He had gained permission to hunt behind an old farmhouse where supposedly wagon travelers stopped to camp along the journey between two cities. I never did find...

Budget - $600 to $750 Typical conditions detecting - mostly land, medium to high mineralization from South Carolina up to Virginia. Possibly 2 to 3 beach trips a year. Desired targets - relics, coins and jewelry ______________________________________________________ So I've been approached...

I've been needing to make a test plot of some sort every since I bought a detector. In my mind an air test will only be so accurate. So today I finally got it going. I wanted to be able to use different soil types, hence the divider. One inch PVC will allow up to quarter sized objects. Hopefully...

I hit the local park again today. It was established in 1842 and was the center of everything in this Mayberryish town. I've spent a fair amount of time lately looking at aerial photos and walking without a detector just surveying possible spots. I narrowed down two spots that were possibly...
