Hi all, While perusing over some old aerial photos I noticed a small detail. In an area that had Bern heavily developed and filled in the 50s, I saw one sliver of park along some structure remaining from the late 1800s. Well, who knows I thought and went out there after work this morning in...

Hello all, First hunt on Friday morning was at a beach site I haven't been to since last year. I hoped for a water hunt but the waves were too big to be safe-much less dry. So I was relegated to the beach which didn't give up much but mostly clad and toy cars. I also found one junker ring...

Hi everyone! Another short hunt before work hitting the parking islands again. Targets are getting hard to find so hitting anything remotely repeatable below 4 inches. Lots of iron and fence wire, but I got a pretty weak 12-41 showing 7 inches. Well, at about 9 inches and through a maze of...

I was just reading some articles about Minelab unveiling a new machine next month in England. Apparently Brandon Niece (Dr Tones) is field testing one now. In his latest video it's mentioned but he says he can't show it yet. But from the hype it's supposed to be a game changer. I've also read...

Hi all, Stopped at a park on the way in to work for about an hour hunt. Since I've been trying to perfect a couple program variations for better hunting in iron and trash, I thought to try an area I had struck out at in the past. Targets were very slim, but the first good iffy signal I got was...

Hi all, I was finally able to get out hunting the farm I grew up on, and had some surprising finds. I know the place dates back before the 1880s, but can't find any records from before then to document when it was first built on. About all I can find is that the town was settled in the 1830s...

Hi all Got out Sunday to a town about an hour away that has a nice town center park surrounded by mid to late 1800s buildings. I had hoped there would be lots of old coins to be found there, but instead it must have been really pounded. To begin, I noticed lots and lots of very shallow...

Hi all, Got out for about a 6 hour hunt working both the beach and the water. The weather has not been conducive to a lot of beach going much less swimming this summer, so finds are few and far between. But as I was about to call it quits for the day in about a foot of water I got a nice 12-08...

Hi all, First hunt I got out to do a water hunt in the big lake Monday morning. Found the bottom the be sanded in maybe 2 feet after the last storms. But I did manage a little clad and a broken silver ring. One strange find was a 12-34 signal I got. I was thinking gold ring maybe? Alas, no...

Found this today at the old zoo in the area I previously found a lot of Indians. Targets have been getting few and far between other than loafs of surface pennies and trash, so have been digging even very iffy signals 4 or more inches deep. Wheats usually don't pop up until 6 to 10 inches,

I found this next to a cellar hole for what looks like what may have been an outbuilding at the former farm site I've been working. It's brass, but was still a tough find in the heavy iron. Looks like an adjuster wheel to something. Any ideas appreciated, thanks!

Thanks Tony, you're dead on! I looked up according valves, and sure enough.

Forgot to add the photo of the hame ball in use as a reference.

Hi all, Got out for about 20 minutes on the way home to a former farm site I've been working for over a year. Until today I haven't found anything of note, but decided to try a few new things- new program and getting well away from the home site and working the opposite side of the property...

Hi all, Got out for a couple short hunts. One site is an early 1800s park which has gone through many changes over the past nearly 200 years. Unfortunately much has been filled, built on, or paved over. Targets are there, but mostly too deep to catch especially through the trash. Two larger...

Hi all, I've been out on numerous hunts the past couple weeks with nothing to show for it other than clad and a junker ring. But today I decided to hit the coinstar machine at the local Wal-Mart for the first time now my bank no longer counts change. My jar was nearly overflowing so had to do...

I was just wondering if anyone knows a dealer that is still taking trades on machines. I'm looking to exchange my X-terra 705 with 4 coils (including the 15" NEL 3 frequency) for the new Garrett AT Max for the water capability. All together should be worth far more than the Garrett. I've tried...

Hi all, hope everyone is doing well! I'll start out with a beach hunt that gave up a few items. Clad as usual, an aluminum ring, earrings, and a necklace, but nothing silver. A couple oddities: One, I found a half of a pewter ring. Odd thing is, another hunter I chatted with I found out he...

Hi all, Got out for a full days hunt which was unfortunately plagued by a series of thunderstorms. I had made plans to head towards Illinois, but due to flooding that was cancelled, prompting a seat of the pants hunting day. This included several water hunts, a farm, and the zoo site once...
