Conserving Detected Dug Coins & Relics
Cal_Cobra replied to Cal_Cobra's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I guess it's the same effect as Andre Le Crayons, but on a more micro level eh? It looks great compared to the before condition ? -
Beach Hunt 2023 Has Started

It's more a function of digging it all and putting in the time, you'll be on the gold soon enough, I have faith ? -

Here we go!!! Will schoolofhardNox soon strike gold!!! -
Interesting button, it really cleaned up nice!

You could tell the difference, nickles (or gold rings) sounds sweet, the ax heads have a dull, dead sound to them. I still dig them all though ?

Bushwhackin' For Relics
Cal_Cobra replied to CPT_GhostLight's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Nice finds! TomCA and I converted an electric weed eater to a bush whacker by swapping in a brush blade, looks like a big saw blade. It works great! We found a lost c. 1860'ish stage stop in the middle of the desert. 80% was under heavy sage brush growth, so we returned and cleared out small areas, and it paid off with a rare seated quarter, a rare 1829 English silver coin, and ultimately I found my first gold coin there, although it was on a deer trail. That place is wall to wall sage brush, so there's tons more to detect if you can clear it out. I keep hoping a wildfire will roll through there as there's absolutely nothing out there, but what a blessing that would be! -
That's my kind of site! Nice digs Doc ? Looks like your on a Chinese village, and a good one!

The detector links to your iPhone via Bluetooth, and in the event that you tumble down a hill, it access the SoS mode and calls for help ?

A "holy Grail" In Jewelry Hunting Has Been Achieved!
Cal_Cobra replied to Past Member's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
I agree. For me it's more of a curiosity with potential w/further development. I like that they took the initiative to try something innovative. -

Cal_Cobra replied to Past Member's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
This is their second or maybe even third generation GPR like imaging machine, and while the price is becoming within reach (not much more than some high end PI detectors), it's just not there yet for me. I would love to see what the Invenio Pro's screen looks like at a trashy park ? Or better yet some of the stage stops or ghost town type sites we enjoy visiting. Given the price differentiation between the Invenio Pro and their last model, I suspect the next generation model (if there is one, and I hope there is) will drop the price into a more affordable zone, maybe the price of a 3030, and it'll be better at imaging as well as a more condensed package (maybe the collector will be built into the detector by then?). -

Good luck! Never know, I've seen people post ancient finds from public parks over there ? -
Nice finds, love the shoe buckle and the telco badge!
