Has anyone tried this and did it fix the problem. I replaced my first Propointer because of falsing and now my 2 year old one is starting to false. I found this video and it is worth watching if you are having an issue. [url=http://youtu.be/90YfULEKbi8]http://youtu.be/90YfULEKbi:dontknow:/url]

Darren aka. Milco was generous enough to share the location of a ball field project with me, so I spent about 5 hours hunting it on Tuesday. It was a clad fest with $8.47 total and over 130 total coins. I did manage to find one silver coin a 41 Merc. I also found 12 wheats with several from the...

This is what I found last week at a private camp I've been hunting the last couple years. With these four silver I manage to get to 30 for the year. It has been a slow silver year of me due to not as much time in the field. Thanks for looking.

My latest hunt with the Deus is from a wooded area that once contained a couple of hotels. They were there form the 1890's until the last one burnt down in the mid 1930's. I had previously hunted this location with the Etrac and CTX with little success due to the infestation of iron. I have to...

I hit a private campground today. I've hunted here a few times last fall and manage a couple dozen silvers. It only dates back to the 40s but I'm the only one that has ever hunted it. Today I got the first big silver out of this site, a 45 Walking Liberty, I also manage a 32 Washington, two...

I had my first outing with my new XP Deus on Friday and managed a couple of keepers. I decided to return to my infamous picnic grove and work an area that is littered with iron. It is also an area where I've recoverd some of the oldest coins with the CTX and Etrac. To be honest I was not...

A 2 hour hunt of a field that is next to an old country church and school yields only one coin but what a coin. The CTX was hitting solid 12-41 at 4 inches and I thought wheaty, to my surprise there was a 2 center in the bottom of the hole. The date is 1865 and it is only my second one in over...

Here are my finds from my last few hunts, between the rain fall. I now know what it is like to live in Seattle, anyway. I just love seeing that big silver come out of the ground, a 53 Franklin. I also got silver 6 for the year a 50-D Rosie, six wheats and these cool relics. I'm pretty sure the...

I'm back from vacation and the ground is finally thawed out here in SE WI so I managed get in my first hunt of 2013. It would not be right if I did not start the year off with a trip to my infamous grove. I hit a wooded area that I had not covered much and was rewarded quickly with my first...
