You shouldn't have much competition in Brawley! Great new area to work. GaryC/Oregon Coast -
1800s House Site Wrap Up
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to F350Platinum's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I dug about 30-40 grommets at one small 25' x 25' site a few years ago. I couldn't figure out what was going on with all the detached grommets? Talked to a local old timer detectorist and found out the Boy Scouts used that area to do their yearly retiring flag cremonies (they burned the flags). GaryC/Oregon Coast -

Whale Of A Tale
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to GaryC/Oregon Coast's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Actually his name is Raymond Block ( http://leavennotrace.org/ ). He is kind of a one man band when it comes to the environment and trash pickup on Coastal 101, beaches and roads throughout the state. You can usually see him single handed along all those roads picking up trash and depositing the secured up bags of trash along the roadside for the municipalities to dispose of. When I took the picture his whale was only partially built and was quite a lot filled in when New Years Eve came. On his website you can see it being torched and being pulled out to sea. I did go down and do some det -
Was on my Oregon beach today Surf Perch fishing and met this guy who was building a whale out of driftwood. He pegged all the pieces together with wood pins! Kind of an environmentalist guy. He is going to torch it off New Year's Eve. Looks like a good place to detect the next day if all the people show up to watch it! Too rough to catch anything. GaryC/Oregon Coast

AQ Gold Ring Two And Three
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to CCadrin's topic in First Texas - Bounty Hunter, Fisher & Teknetics
Nice finds! I'm also experiencing/struggling with the falsing on my Oregon beaches, in the wet (with the AQ). I also get the falsing swinging one way than the other. Using very similar settings as you. Still looking for my first Oregon beach gold with the AQ. Very slim pickings up this way. Looking for those King Tides later this month. GaryC/Oregon Coast -

Help Identify A Can Lid Please
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to bearthomas's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Lead was used to seal the can after filling. Lots of turn-of-the-century food containers used this method. Not the most healthy of choice! GaryC/Oregon Coast -
Saw it! Very disappointing. Not sure I can believe the Gold Coin find! GaryC/Oregon Coast
