George Kinsey

More information coming today.

The words gone mad! But a guy who owns"17 detectors" can't be all bad. 🙃

Wow George. Your "Gear in use" shows you own detectors from every manufacturer, all over the world. 

Since your Earthly options have run out, PM me if you're interested in broadening your horizons by going extraterrestrial. I know a guy that can help you with that 🙂

 

If there is such a person, chances are I know.

Just added two more like new. Fisher F5 and the one I have longed for. Fisher I.D. Edge. I had both. The F5 was good in my soil to 8 inches. The best Interface I have used. The Edge found many small pewter buttons and an I.D. of-2. Nice.

(permission) rut roh Rorge ,  

 I (usually) dig alone ...so does the ugly guy ever have a chance? 😜

 Nice display George !🤯

OMG ! How many zincolns did you have to dig to get all of those ? 🤔

I only dig colonial permissions. Large cents and Spanish Reales is what I will find. Remember to say no to Mercury Dimes.

 Collections are a sign of maturity and wealth.

Or a sign of obsession and addiction.

I look at it this way.

None of all that , I have something I love and I don't want it to get lonely.🤔

 

Very well said.

Have no worry. I will vouch for you! 😷

 You don't have a problem at all with so many detectors 🥸!

When you add in just the finds you have posted..... 

What you have is a museum !🤯  

It's kinda like staying at a KOA (you just keep on adding )🖖

 

In my detecting life some of my favorite finds were 2 civil war id tags, 4 gold coins, over 100 plates and buckles, too many Confederate and Union buttons to list, 1794 flowing hair half dime, gold rings by the dozens, mint 1877 Indian and on and on. Paid for my Wifes Nursing School, gave some to my close friends and family, traded some for detectors. Kinda hard to believe if you're new. But that's what happened back in the day hunting just about every weekend in multiple states. Never easy as you walked many unproductive fields to find the camp. Getting permission to detect was hit or miss. Great tip. Never send the Ugly Guy to the door to ask. I never found the elusive GW Inaugural Button. My digging partner has two. That's why I still detect colonial sites. Keep digging. A small sampler.

With all those detectors, can you say one is better than the others? By the time i would use them i would forget what one was best. I have 7 detectors and still can't pick just one.  

They all found coins and relics. You got to be on good permissions. I only hunt colonial sites now. After detecting these permissions, over many years, I would now go for a very deep detector. You know you did a good job when very few good targets come up.

What's next? Pickle Ball or Nokta Score?

We all thought that your wife had already done that, so how did you escape?

She bailed out after 41 years. But is cool with my addiction.

I think an updated full collection picture is in order, George.  Be sure to use a wide angle lens.

You mean I have to search under all the beds too. Maybe I will find Jimmy Hoffa? Oh brother.

I thought you said (2 or 3 yrs. ago) that you was cutting WAAAY back????

Has it been that long?  I guess there is a "Silver Lining to Every Dark Cloud". Stay well my friend.

Forgot. Minelab Xterra Pro., Nokta Simpex Ultra and Simplex Lite. Oh my!

Over 40 great detectors in my collection. Just added another Coinstrike, Patriot, Nautilus DMC, Fisher 1265, New Fors Cor Relic, XP W6 Master. Would you have me committed? Nice.

Any idea since the manual will not tell you??? Thanks.

I sure like My X Pointer Max wit the Magic Holster George, its my favorite pointer of the 4 I have, looking forward to your report.

Congrats on yours. May have it today or tomorrow. Going out for a while on Sunday. Keep digging.

It has iron discrimination and the holster will turn the pointer off when inserted, and on when removed. Very affordable price. Will post my results later. Thanks, George.

Looks like a good value for the money with more features than my Q30.

I would not have shown this. Problems will soon arise. Great finds for sure.
