George my collection is a lot smaller, but now i have the Deus 2 I have to say the old ones are just for wall decorations its not that i dont like them its I am 85 years old and cant hunt for 8 hours like I used to. The Deus weight of 2 lbs lets me have at least 3 hours of hunting its been a lifesaver for some one that still likes to hunt, Keep the post comming your collection is outstanding. Stick.

  10. If they had reworked the workings of the Compadre and made a discriminating and waterproof pin pointer they could have sold thousands of them. Stick.

  13. Seeker read what I posted on Stricks gold coin, I give you the same advice don't lock it up, enjoy it and show it to all your friends. Stick.
  14. Great video and good advice but all my old drive in's are paved over. I worked at one in 1954 its a gas station now. Stick.
  15. What does the back look like? I have dug small dragon like side plates from Flint Lock rifles but none so fancy they also had screw holes in them. Stick.
  16. Strick congratulation. I have some advice that's a very nice coin and you will never forget that feeling when you found it. I told the story here of finding two $5 gold some time back also I found a 2 1/2 1836 on the Santa Fe trail in 1988 that is the one I wear. I used to look at my finds once a year at our metal detecting open house and realized that I would never get rid of my gold coins so I had a friend make me a bezel and bought a nice gold chain, I wear it at least once a week and the feeling of when I found it comes back every time. You will never forget the feeling. Enjoy Stick.
  17. I belong to LostMyStuff.Net there is no charge for looking or finding items. Members pay a small fee each year to belong, as for myself I have a 100 mile limit that I will travel to look for items. I said look because some times it's not where they think they lost it. Stick.
  18. Ryan how about a update as to how the mod works in the field? Dave.
  19. Just finding old coins is what I enjoy, so far this year I have found a 1867 shield nickel 1907 V nickel 1918 Buffalo 1943 war nickel plus after over 40 years of detecting my first 3 cent nickel 1865. And 2 two cents a 1866 and 1864. The war nickel is the only silver coin I found this year so far. Stick.
  20. Strick I think the image on the watch is of the Battle Ship the USS MAINE . The ship was a cry for the Spanish American war (Remember the Maine) Stick.
  21. My Tesoro's a Silver Saber Plus , Tiger Shark and a Tejon, have all been back for repairs with shipping one way. I can not say enough about the Tesoro lifetime warranty I have had the Silver Saber Plus for over 30 years and still use it with the clean sweep coil for clad hunting. Wish I could find a clean sweep for the tejon . I had to send my Pro Pointer back for repairs and could not find the receipt I had to take their word it was out of warrant cost $50. All receipts now stay with the box they came in and go in to storage. Stick.
