I found this Pocket Watch earlier this year and decided to pry off the back hinged cover. This revealed a second cover called a cuvette. My understanding is that this would be a common place for an engraving. The case was in surprisingly good shaped with gold plate still intact. Problem is there...

Twas the Night before Christmas Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the forum I was viewing the messages about silver and aurum. My detectors were all hung on the wall with care, In hopes that spring soon would be here. The members were all posting about reviews they had read...

The warm fall days in the high plains of Colorado this year have been a welcome and cherished change of weather. Every once in awhile we get to enjoy an extended summer before the cold of winter sweeps in and makes the ground rock hard and suspends the rest of the outside world in a frozen...

I got a little hunt time in today and among the finds was this nice deep Indian Head. I thought I would share it here as it illustrates the very good depth capability of the Spectra V3. I measured the coin at over 9 inches in depth conservatively. The Indian was hitting consistently in the +93...

I recently hunted a parkway strip that was at the center of a busy intersection. It used to be the front approach of an old train station that no longer exist. From old pictures this centralized grassy area looked to be unchanged in it's appearance. I decided this would be a good location for a...

I have not posted my finds in quite some time. My hunt time has been limited greatly by my work schedule. On average I get out at the end of the day for a couple of hours at a time, about twice a week. The typical hunt consist of running down to a local park and finding a small area to grid very...

As I continue to spend my very brief metal detecting adventures in my near by heavily hunted old park I have started noticing that I am pulling good finds from holes that contain more than one target. Typically it will be deeper iron(nails, wire bits) located below the coin. lately I have been...

I have been seeing a lot of post regarding depth problems with the V3. I thought I would provide some basic guidelines to getting more depth out of your machine. There is a substantial amount of misinformation floating around the Internet that I believe is leading folks down the wrong path...

This is getting to be a real problem with the Vision/V3/V3i detector. All this time on the market and the stock D2 coil is still a piece of junk. White's is charging for upgrades to a detector that has serious coil problems. I have had 2 bad D2 coils in the past and finally Whites was kind...

I got permission to hunt a government building from my friend George. I had helped him get a job a couple of times over the last 8 or 9 years, so he kind of owed me one. He no longer worked at the location I was going to hunt, but he still had a little pull to get me permission to hunt. I had...

It has been a long cold snowy Winter here on the front range of Colorado. The ground has thawed and now I find myself busy with work, doing taxes, and Spring cleanup around the house. I finally gave in last week and took the V3 out for a quick hunt at the end of the day. I found myself back at...

Well, I just don't know where to begin. I had spent most of the day with my loving Wife. It was after all Valentine's Day.
