I was going to try it on a coin, but never got around to it. Since it has been raining just about every day here, I managed to rig up a little electrolysis setup and dropped the axe head I found into it, then within 5 minutes the bucket of distilled water and salt looks like this. I took it...

I finally had a chance to put the coil to the soil and my first find was an axe head, then a 1965 quarter and a few zincolns. I found the axe head along the mighty Mississippi river bank where history shows that the first settlers of the town landed and began what is today - so I figure I...

I feel a bit selfish and guilty, but only a tiny bit, for not telling anyone about this auction online where I picked up some coins for a few bucks here and there. :tongue: The most expensive bid, which I messed up and lost on :bangahead01: was for an 1885-O VF Morgan I bid to $45 and had it...

What to do in the winter :frozen: Metal Detecting Game

All these pictures/posts of such great finds... I am dying to get the coil to the dirt. I could go out and sweep the back path to my shed :frozen:

.. in northern Minnesota that is. Been busy cleaning out my neighbors drive - she has a nice view :frozen:

We named this little fella Gimpy. Appears he/she was born without that one leg or perhaps it broke during birth and nature took care of it. This little fella can run like the wind!

Grand Rapids, Minnesota :frozen: I am not new to detecting, but I am fairly new to a much higher caliber machine. Invested in the DFX 300 last fall and certainly enjoy what detecting I could get in before the snow covered everything. My first detector I picked up many years back, just a...
