The snow is finally starting to melt, so maybe I will be able to try out the new coil, shovel, shovel clip, and rechargeable 9V batteries out and will therefore be able to post about finds. Already getting some places listed in order of appearance. However, for now some reads. Not too good about...

Guess it's worth a read.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2977187/Are-team-pensioners-discover-one-Adolf-Hitler-s-greatest-lost-treasures-Amber-Room.html

Any guess on the larger one? I am sure the small one is definitely an un-struck zincoln. It has the rolled edge appearance and same weight and diameter. The sound is really close when dropped on a surface, but definitely different than a full copper penny. If any of you were aware that dropping...

The end of last summer I did order a trower from metaldetector.com. It had lifetime warranty rating with serrated edge. It stood up and had no problem so far and only cost $18. It was merely a single piece of steel and rolled for the handle, but it was thick steel. Mine came with a black rubber...

NES, here's the pics. It came with the velcro strap for the wire on shaft and came with a set of hardware too With rubber washers. And coil cover as they say on the site. Tim, if you win the power ball you can buy me a second (larger) one too. Haha. I ain't asking much. Maybe then you can not...

I'm sure there's a bit of taking advantage of the land shape. An island I went to had been used a for farming (and other stuff). Even tho it's surrounded by water, it's actually elevated quite a bit. Walking to the site through the wooded area there was definitely a spot where it was low lying...

There's no end with rocks? Just dirt around it? Seems so from pics. I would presume irrigation. Out near where I grew up and there's a bottle dump there's also a pretty much round small pond with a little area of woods around it and then fields. What leado to it is some small marshy area that...

What would be a good suggestion for the significant other to have for a detector? She did tell me to just get a better one and she will use mine. And I got a new NEL DD coiming to try out!!? Although I would like one just a tad bit newer I am gunning to be proficient with the one I have. I would...

I been looking for a DD for my TR. Unfortunately very few places carry the coils with push-in connectors. There are some I did find with no mods needed from metaldetecting.com ($128) and KellyCo ($135). EDIT: the push on styles I did find on those sites are not NEL brand. I have been searching...

Mike, I know what you meant. It should be "You are getting better at putting the coil where it needs to be". That signal was solid. Altho I know the first ox shoe I dug near the river (where there's a supposed treasure near) it sounded like a nickel to my machine. Lately the big iron and even ox...

With all this overtime at work or all this free time to detect due to the holidays, I decided... both. After having this past 4 day weekend where I got out scoring a silver I tried to set something up for later in the week. The beginning of the week I did the OT to give me a second 4 day weekend...

Friday with no work I was tied home doing laundry but later in the day I went out to do some recon. I was following up on a lead I got at my last permission but wasn't thinking detecting was in the works, yet we are lucky so far for mild winter that it turned out to a few hunts. Saturday I got...

Not sure if this gives a good light on detecting or a bad name for detectorists. Interesting find, tho. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2884475/The-map-sky-Mysterious-3600-year-old-Sky-Calender-let-ancient-farmers-track-seasons.html

This morning I was up early; I saw the sun slowly brighten the yard. After a big breakfast and some housework I got dressed with many layers thinking I would need it. There was some yard work to do, but I didn't feel like doing it. Actually I didn't get out the door early but I had plenty of...

After hounding Dan, four of us got out. Finally I got to meet Dave and Todd. They aren't part of the nutty crew, or they were only putting on a show for me to think not. LOl. Nice winter hunt where I was hoping my new gloves showed up. I was warm the whole day except for my hands. The new...

I did stumble upon a pic of the unit itself online after an extensive search. For some reason there are very few pics. Electrolytic capacitors are made with two aluminum foil plates sandwiched with two layers of paper with an electrolytic oil. They tend to dry out over time. My Samsung TV had...

I knew of a small park in the center of a section of town. At some point I will have to try again to find the old railroad station just down the street at another park. This small park was nearby to a whole slew of houses used for the nearby mill, which is now something like a library. Before I...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2833174/A-peek-inside-Viking-piggybank-CT-scans-treasure-chest-reveal-hidden-brooches-gold-ingots-ivory-beads.html Wow. I do wonder why tho he bothered to go though and notify the treasure trove unit. Although this article does state the finder is...

This is enhanced and zoomed. I circled in yellow where I see what I believe is a 6. The zoomed in is where you can see the last letter in America versus whole bust (or in relation to last feather).
