Been lurking in this section for a while. I am very impressed by the quality and the quantity of your finds............this is a question for the highliners who post here. could you give some basic tips of how you do your beach detecting. I live 5 min away from the beach and have detected...

Got out today a bit after work. no coins :( Didn't find much. this dog made of lead.....thought it was a piece of slag when I first looked at it, very heavy for its size. thought it was interesting enough to post. I would like to know how old it is. everything else I generally find here is old...

Now that i have my new cam I will post more of my finds. :) I had a busy summer and fall but I am back in the game. The 10 Reis coin is Portuguese. 175? I couldn't make out the last number it is pretty toasted. this is the 2nd one of these I have found the other was from the 1800's these...

Hi all. I bought a new camera and have been messing around with it. This is an update on my tree coin. I sent it out to be graded.......Authentic with AU Details! So it is the real deal. I am pretty happy with the outcome. Here are some better pics.

I was able to get out and get in some swinging time. Got a Massachusetts copper....my first. It is a shame though, that once the crust falls off, I think all the detail will go with it. Pics are not the best, but you get the gist. thanks for looking. HH, Dan

Figured I would throw my two cents in regard to headphones. I was using Rat-Phones, both the originals and the newer MSA's I liked them because of their clear crisp tones. They are no longer available. (out of business) My original pr. were pretty beat. .....more on that latter. My hunting buddy...

I have been only posting my very best finds, here is my latest. I found a man's gold wedding band with a 1730/1 date on it. I have found other wedding bands, but never with a date. I thought it was old when I saw the small skull etched on it. ( the style said old) I was pleasantly surprised to...

Hey all. this is my oldest U.S. coin with a clear date. 1798 draped bust. I also dug a first for me, a 1/4 Skilling ( a swedish coin) 1802

hey Angel. I noticed on your programs post, you wrote you like to keep you noise cancel on 5 or 9. I am curious about this.

Finding a tree coin was number one on my wish list. Time will tell, but this may be my best coin find ever. I skipped pine and went for the Oak Tree 2 pence. My new number one is now a Willow Tree. (or a NE shilling) :) needless to say i am pretty stoked. I hunt sites that have the potential to...

Anyone ever use NCS to have a coin cleaned (conserved) and slabed? how did it go? Were you happy with your results? Thanks, D

I got my X-5 about two weeks ago, and have been able to get out several times. First thought, man is this thing small. I can see why some may not like it. You have to slow way down, or you will miss a lot. To get through this mentally, I had to picture small areas as squares. I would then grid...

I just received a pair of ratphone MSA headphones (used) I was using the older green Ratphones. The MSA's are so much louder. I used to turn my Etrac up to volume limit 30, and turn my headphones down to the appropriate level for the conditions I was detecting. With the MSA's I have to turn the...

I was wondering if there is any correlation between the gain # and depth. Meaning...is it a sliding scale of sound where it is always the same depth distinction, with a tonal change based on gain #......Or, does the depth change based on gain #. Ex. if you are detecting and want to be alerted...

I have been bored lately and just thinking about stuff. If you showed up to a new site, never detected before (as far as you know). Would you automatically throw your biggest go-to coil on and start at it, or put a small coil on and clean out the surface to mid level targets first. From what I...

Here is the majority of my 2010 finds. This ended up being my personal best year. 1) misc copper coins http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/dan03usmc/001-14.jpg 2) buttons http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/dan03usmc/001-15.jpg 3)Indians and flying eagles...

Just found this site a couple of days ago. Just wanted to say hi to everyone, especialy the folks from the White's forum. I do not post my finds there any more because I am no longer swinging a White's. 2010 will go down in the record books for me, my best year ever. I will have to do a best of...
