Hi all, I bought the Nokta Accupoint pinpointer and it came on Saturday. Tested it out yesterday and here is my review of it. For the record, I do like my Garrett Carrot, but the falsing on it when I set it down has started to annoy me. 1. It has 9 settings as far as sensitivity. I had...

By friends and I have pounded this spot and 2 of us ended the day back at this site as we were trying to find goodies in the woods surrounding this site. My CTX is at Minelab (hopefully getting fixed), so had the AT Pro out. Let me know if I identified this correctly. Likely going to get it...

new pictures The best photos I could take. non-US side the lettering looks like a "small" S, NIMEAIS. OKS in small lettering just under the NI. Whatever this is, I never found one before. Thanks for looking!

Hi Everyone, We just got a snowfall in SE WI yesterday that was blizzard like. Kind of a wake up call to get out and hunt while I can. Need help with the below picture. This rang up like lead and also feels heavy like lead. About the size of a dime. Found it at a boy scout camp, but I...

Not sure how much Spanish silver is in WI, but I found Spanish Speaking Silver last weekend while on a random park hunt. Just wanted to go out swinging with no plan. One of those moods. Decided on an area that no one walks on and stumbled on this. Chilean Silver 72%. 1915, so I figured I...

Hi everyone, Found a bent coin or token a few months back that I initially thought was a Chucky Cheese token until I started cleaning it the other day and noticed that it was a bit smaller than a CC token. The below pictures are after 1 day in Olive Oil. Going to leave it soak for about 1...

Hunted from 5AM to 6AM before I had a boatload of chores to do. Same place I found the 2 barbers. Really strange place in terms of area of ground. Find 1900-1920 items in one area and have found Rosie/Washington/40s wheaties about 100 feet away. No mix (yet). Went painfully slow in an area...

Out for about 6 hours this weekend. First hunt was the CW store token/card. This is my 4th one ever and second from this site. My friends and I each have 2 (6 total) at this site. I am slowly cleaning this one for I don't have a lot of patience and know my limits when it comes to cleaning...

Hi everyone, Been very busy over the last year with work, but still getting out detecting. Sorry I haven't been on as much recently, but to all that post, great finds everyone!! Below is my year so far. Doing pretty good on silver and over 100 Jefferson nickels with only 1 Buffalo. Only 1...

Hi all, Not much in the find department worthy of a post, but I have a few goodies. Old trashy permission - 1923 wheat and a suspender buckle (I think). Not very good with buckles/buttons. Hardest detecting area I have. It is riddled with nails. Found about 50-75 square nails in 2 hours...

Went to a torn out parking lot and found the Andrew Zinkl token. Haven't been able to locate this one yet. School property -The toasted civil war hard time token was 1 of 4 found in one day!! One of my friends continued down a line that I was going to go on and got distracted. I was...

Hi everyone. Hope you are all well. Went out with some friends to a park that had some 1930s homes on it. Hit a small iron patch and dug a few deeper signals. Square nails. I love finding those and started a circular pattern. Thought I had a 6" modern clad quarter and this "large cent"...

Hi Everyone, Hope all had a great Independence Day. I got out 1 day this past weekend early in the morning at a park that I have hit quite a few times. I just needed to swing the detector for it has been bone dry here in WI and the ground is hard. This part of the park I hunted was close to...

Hi all - hit an 1870 property that I door knocked earlier in the week. The guy was a little gruff, but he said I don't care if you detect, but you are not going to find anything but horseshoes. FYI - I always answer very positive with "I love finding those". 1. Only found 1 wheat penny 2...

Last year I forgot an extra battery for my pinpointer one time. Been detecting for about 6 weeks now and just cleaned out my finds bag extra pockets. I had 5 extra batteries..... I apparently put in a few extra and following weeks added another. Just a little relatable item for you all to...

Haven't had the greatest start to the year, but I am also trying a bunch of new areas and I tend to detect too fast. I was out hiking on some state forest area (cannot detect in WI) and on the way home tried a park I have never been too. It was eerily quiet. Got about 10 clad coins, some pull...

My wife thought I was nuts going out in 29 degree weather with rain in forecast. Told her I already am nuts from not detecting for 3 months. She just rolled her eyes. She doesn't understand the hobby at all. It did get up to about 36 degrees before I called it quits. First thing I found...

I cheated a little bit finding the 3 rosies and 5 wheaties in a rubber pouch we all had as kids (at least some of us older guys). The 2 Mercs were found on the same line separate about 5 feet from pouch. This was the first 30 minutes at a new spot and I thought I hit the motherload. Just clad...

Hi everyone! Sorry about "read this". Meant it as an idea for all of you to try if you do not look at dirt piles. Not that I am awesome. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you (in USA). In my hometown, they are changing a road from 2 lanes to 4 lanes. There are about 3 houses in the late...

Hi all, I hit a scout camp last Sunday since it was windy and drizzly and I thought the woods would help with that (it did). I have hit this before and found quite a few wheats. I have pounded it hard likely with a bunch of others over the years. Last year I found two Fiskars shovels from...
