Show Us Your Favorite Ring Find From 2018
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
I think all the rings I found in 2018 came with gumballs! GaryC/Oregon Coast -
Ages ago it use to be a free service from listed participants. The public needs to be educated that you can contact any local metal detecting club and get multiple people to help you find something for free. Just my two cents worth. GaryC/Oregon Coast

Just Getting Started, Need Help
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to Bodine50's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Sounds like it would be very helpful for you to find a club nearby where you live and get some hands on help with someone local. You seem to be looking for a detector with no knowledge of what you are looking for. That can get expensive when you buy something you don't really need. Just trying to help you get pointed in the right direction. GaryC/Oregon Coast -
Coin Roll Hunting
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to Tiftaaft's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
You put that awful suggestion in my ear and now I had to go out and test my bank here in Oregon for silver. I haven't done this for over five years now when I was in California. Bought six $500 boxes of halves and found ONE 40% silver. Every box was stamped PRE-SORTED AT BOXING NO SILVER. I had never seen that before. Just goes to show you that they can slip by. Might try it again in another five years! GaryC/Oregon Coast -
Adapter To Run Sun Ray Pro Gold Headphones
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to Rick73's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Well that's disappointing! Bought the adapter and never checked it against my Sunrays. Would have been nice if there was a disclaimer from Minelab, or did I just not see it on their website? GaryC/Oregon Coast -
Coin Roll Hunting
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to Tiftaaft's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I found a silver quarter once, in those Coinstar machines and couldn't figure out why. Now I know. My local machines seem to have lots of kicked out coins that I scoop up. They spend just fine for me. GaryC/Oregon Coast -
Coin Roll Hunting
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to Tiftaaft's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Back then I used eBay, my local metal detecting club (they used it for planted hunts and raffles) and my local coin dealer who gave me the best return. GaryC/Oregon Coast -
Coin Roll Hunting
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to Tiftaaft's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I coin roll hunted about eight or nine years ago. I was hunting through $3,000.00 a week in halves. Found silver paid for many, many toys back then. Then it caught on in my area and everything dried up. Finding banks to take back $3,000.00 a week in rolled coin was a big pain. I eventually made a deal with my local casino to take it all at once, if I played at the tables for at least one hour, which I was doing anyway at the time. I was finding lots of S proof coins. Kids would probably break open their proof sets and spend the coins. You have me wanting to get back to it again. Sure was easy money. GaryC/Oregon Coast -

Last Days For Tesoro?

I LOVE my Sand Shark! Next to the Nox it is the best detector I have ever owned. GaryC/Oregon Coast -
Cemetery Coin Hunting
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I'm surprised any maintained cemetery would give an OK to dig amongst the plots. I thought lots of loved ones would bury or put momentos and jewelry near a grave stone. GaryC/Oregon Coast -

Any Good Advice For Southern Oregon?
GaryC/Oregon Coast replied to Creekboy's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Hayden, I feel your nugget withdrawl pain. I too am a So. Cal. transplant hunting the deserts there. Finding a local prospecting club seems to be a problem with me along the coast. I put myself in a place where there just isn't much gold history along my part of the coast. Way up the coast yes, way down the coast yes, Way, way east yes. But not many clubs to attend to get viable information from. I too had a 2300 but sold it because I left my deserts. Opted for the Nox and 6" coil hoping for some stream gold action. None of yet but still researching it. If you find something keep me in the loop. Can always use a partner. GaryC/Oregon Coast -
