Whats In Closet Number One?
KS Stick replied to George Kinsey's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
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. -

Tesoro Factory For Sale
KS Stick replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Compass, D-Tex, Tesoro, Etc.
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. -

100 Yr Old Dragon Find Needs ID Help
KS Stick replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
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. -
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.

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.

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.

Warranty What’s It’s Value To You ?
KS Stick replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
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. -
