Ridge Runner

I was lucky enough to have a guy on here make contact with me offering his Elliptical for sale to me. Right now my money is on the way and by the end of next week it will be in my hands . I’m excited to give it a try on two lots almost down town that has lots of history. I’ll be posting my finds right here.

GB Amateur You were asking how strong the signal on the half dime. I can hear a signal 10 feet away and just about tell you what it is plus the date. Then I turn around and my wife is standing next to me saying something. The funny thing I can’t understand a word she’s saying. Chuck

GKman That’s a great find . I see one little mark to the left of the date but other than that it’s in great condition. That’s a great lunch break. You should take more like that more often. Chuck

Steve You said a mouthful but you called it right. Some may not like it but the truth always hurts. Chuck

In comparison to some detectors I’ve put money out for one I could have walked out the door with two . This is like buying one and getting one free . Chuck

Dilek Over the year I’ve paid a lot more for a lot less than what you’re offering on the Simplex . At that price you can’t beat it with a stick and should be jumping on it with both feet. Simply said What a great price. Chuck

Chase Goldman Thanks for your reply. I think I’ll go ahead and order one . I just want something that has a less footprint than my 9” round coil. I thank all who replied to this and other post where I requested help . Chuck PS Lord knows I need all the help I can get and if you don’t believe what I said just ask my wife.

Jeff I do have the ORX with the 9” round coil and I do find it to be a great coil but thinking about adding the elliptical. I need to read back over what you said and put it to memory. Thanks for the reply. Chuck

I’m a Relic hunting for coins and thinking about getting the HF Elliptical coil to hunt with. I have the ORX with the the HF 9” round coil but thinking about trying the elliptical one . Like to hear from anyone who may have used it for coin hunting.. Thanks ahead of time. Chuck

Kac On what you said makes sense but that’s something I’ve always been short of . The HF coils with the battery in the shaft should help some on giving them more space. I’ve been thinking about getting that 5X9” coil but really want a 6 are 7 “ round one . Kac thanks for your reply and happy hunting. Chuck

I’ve been a long time lover of small coils hunting a new location for the first time. I’m wondering why none are being made . It could be I’m the first that ask for one . I don’t look to find it at my door anytime soon. All the relic hunters and one coin hunter in the bunch I can see why I’m sucking hind teat. Chuck

My problem was just the opposite to yours. I was hunting around a old train station and got this signal under a bush but the deeper I’d dug less the signal. Then I realize my target was above the coil in the bush . It turned out to be a nice gold in color watch still running. Your guess is as good as mine on how it got there. Chuck PS On yours don’t stop digging until you see the whites of their eyes .

FYI Make sure Pinpointer turned off . Had trouble with it on another detector one time but never again. Chuck

Reg this may not out do yours but here goes. My grandmother was taking a trip on a bus . She sit down by this woman and started talking. My grandmother was the type of person that she would find out anything about you if given time. Even to the point of knowing how much money you had in the bank . She always ask your name first and she did but with a shock to my grandmother. The Ladies name was Funkingshed . Sometimes a name is more a joke than a joke it’s self. Chuck

I got Ridge Runner from a friend back when CB’s was popular. If I had to put a date on it I’d say middle 70’s. I don’t know why everything I’ve done was back when. haha Chuck

Interesting to say for sure. The round looking coil in the center may be for support but in a way it looks like a dual field coil .. Just what is the weight of it ? Not that I’m going to run out and buy one ? I’m having enough trouble just swinging a 6” one at the other end of my Sport. Chuck

The first picture I’m posting is with the locking tab unlocked and the other you can see a little is in lock position.

You’re going have a hard time rotating the shaft being it’s square. The locks on the shaft is not twist lock being the shaft is not round but a tab you push to lock on a flat surface. Chuck

Gary Blackwell done another great video on the ORX In wet beach sand . The video is posted on the Skill School with all the others. Chuck

This is with the 9” round coin and the ORX. What you see measured 24 1/2 inch from end to end . Hope this will answer your question. Chuck

Hey everyone I just put myself up for adoption. For what it’s worth I am house broke. Chuck

Me getting anything on looks anymore has long pass me up . Chuck

Gerry A friend just ask if that was me and I told him yes . I told him I knew the horse was sick because it was throwing up too . Chuck

Gerry I had to go back and take another look at those boots you posted . The reason I done that I is I got to thinking about a trick that was pulled on this old cowboy. The story goes like this. This old cowboy had been in this saloon way longer than he should. He was getting to the point he didn’t know what end was up . Two of his old friends I guess you could call them being they had been there drinking with him from the start. His two so call friends was talking between them self on what trick they could play on their drunk friend. One said to the other he’s got is horse tied out front so why don’t we just turn his saddle around. After a big laugh thinking about doing it out the door they went . Sometime had passed and finally the old cowboy couldn’t go anymore. One of his so call friends pointed the way to the door where he had his horse tied up . He finally made it up in the saddle and the one friend turned going back in the saloon laughing. I guess about 30 minutes had passed and the old cowboy busted through saloon door yelling. Somebody cut my horses head off and he’s still breathing. Another in the saloon said your horse can’t be breathing if his head is cut off ! The old cowboy said I know he is because I stuck my finger in his windpipe. Chuck

Write this down on the wall this is the year of movers and shakers. The only problem I see with all these new low cost detectors and what they offer is everybody plus their sister will have one . I’ve always told anyone wanting a detector is buy the best they could afford. What I did pay back when I can get the same detector for half price now . I know we’ve always had low cost detectors but nothing like we going to have in the year 2019 offering so much. Chuck
