Hello all! It's been a while since I've posted anything so I thought I'd drop a note so ya'll know I'm still around. I haven't gotten out as much as I'd like to but here are a couple pics of some silvers from a recent hunt. It was my first Seated quarter and I handed it over to the homeowner...

I'm in a little town northwest of Albany NY this week working with one of our customers. I wrapped up my project around lunch today so I went out for a hunt. I have to say that detectorists in New York have it made! All week long I have driven through neighborhoods filled with awesome early...

Hey All. I'm going to be in Johnstown next week. It's a little town northwest of Albany NY. Is there anyone in the area who might have time for a hunt or advice on where to hunt. Thanks in advance. Ron.

Hello All. I am letting my Etrac go. I have both the Etrac and the VX3 so this unit is sitting most of the time as I seem to prefer the Whites. I bought this Etrac from PulltabSteve last year in the hopes my wife might get involved in the hobby. The unit is in pretty good condition except the...

I was detecting a park in Evansville IN today during one of my travels. It was a nice little park in a neighborhood from the 30s or 40s and I had some high hopes. After being there for a short while I started to notice Police officers in the area. Pretty soon there were a LOT of officers and...

hello All. I don't normally post pics but I kind of liked this Crotal bell which was my first. I got permission to hunt a 1901 home in my hometown. The home is owned by an older couple named Jim and Joyce. They were so nice. Jim assured me that the house had been hunted before and it was...

Well I made it out for my first beach hunt last week. I went down to Isle of Palms in SC for a business/pleasure trip. I was able to complete a couple short hunts in the evenings around low tide. I only found two dimes and five pennies for a total of 25 cents. :cheering:. I was amazed at how...

Hello All, I am heading down to Mt Pleasant SC next week and will taking a couple days to beach hunt. Since I live in Northern Kentucky, I have never hunted a beach before. I will be taking my VX3 and am hoping I can get some coil advice. I sold my 950 concentric so my coil choices will be the...

Hello All It has been a long busy winter but that is fading now. I've had a busy winter which included a couple weeks in Finland for business. I didn't take the detector since it was January but it looked like there would have been a couple places to detect. I've enjoyed catching up on all...

I cashed in my clad today at the local Kroger. All told I rounded up the not really thrilling total of around $70 in clad. At this pace ill have the VX3 and the Etrak paid off in just about 42 years :rofl: Anyway, I brought home about $55 and handed it over to the wife who gets first pick...

I was able to get out today to a friends land just north of Milford Kentucky. They own 200acres in a very rural area and Jody (the owner) grew up in what is now the old farmhouse back in the 50s. the house is no longer lived in and it is an old log cabin from the mid 1800s that has been...

I am traveling this week and I always take my detector with me to hunt local sites. I hit pioneer park in Mesa AZ for a couple of hours today. I am always a little uncomfortable when hunting in new locations that I don't know the neighborhood because it is pretty easy to get into an area that...

Hi all. I am in Phoenix this week and was wondering if anyone will be hunting here this week or if anyone has advice about where to hunt. Ron

I started working on getting permission to hunt a field last fall. It is a nice field just outside of McVille Kentucky and it dates back to the early 1800s but it is also has early Indian history back thousands of years. I contacted the farmer who owns the property and had a nice visit. He told...

Hello all. My old Garrett PP is getting a little unreliable so I am looking to pick up a new pointer. I have a Sunray on my Etrak and like it so I am considering getting one for my VX3. The VX3 is my go to unit now due to the lighter weight being a little easier on my shoulder with arthritis...

It's been quite a while since I have had the time to get out hunting but I was finally able to swing the coil at the fairgrounds. I took the Etrac out and was able to find a 14 kt heart necklace with chain (surface find). A small gold band with flower pattern (not pictured because the wife is...

Howdy All, I haven't posted in a while due to being tied up with spring activities. I am in Canton Michigan this week and was hoping that someone might have some advice about hunting sites. I have my VX3 and a couple coils with me and should have some time for a hunt. any advice about where to...

I have some Whites coils that I am parting with because I do not use them anymore. At the moment I have a total of six coils for my VX3 but since I have purchased the SEF 8x6 and 10x12 I haven't put the whites coils on the machine. All of them were new last summer with the exception of the 950...

Went to a site today with my Etrac where I suspect a late 1800s toll booth it was overgrown and on a hillside but the brush wasn't too bad yet. My first signal was a 1906 Barber dime. Spent another hour but only found shotgun shells. I was pretty glad to pull out my first Barber. I will have to...

Hello all. I found this today at the old fairgrounds today but I don't have any idea what it might be. It is 1 3/4 inch by 1 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch deep. It appears to be copper with gilded interior. The lid is hinged. I didn't think too much when I found it but after looking closely it appears...
