Tom have you not heard of the Aluminum Abatement Collective Program? We all must do our share to help clean the environment...It's not always about the gold 🙂 strick

Nice work Compass as usual. Your one of the top Jewelry hunters I've seen on the sites. What you are doing works so don't change a thing. I've posted this picture before. I was saving pull tabs for a short time but that got old quick. I could not tell you how many there are in the photo nor could I tell you how many hunts or how many gold rings I found during that short time. I have a hard time passing up mid and low conductors that sound good. Many days with nothing but junk to show for my efforts... but it can be rewarding as you know. Nice ring ! strick

4 Day Campground Hunt, I'm Tired.
strick replied to F350Platinum's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
You should be allowed to hunt public schools...Most of them over here are now fenced in...it's getting tougher and tougher this hobby of ours...There is one school I've been wanting to hit one of my clients is a teacher over there and said go ahead but I'm a little reluctant to as it's fenced in for the most part. I'm waiting for a little rain so I can get started with the turf hunting again..its great to see you get out and finding stuff... strick -
4 Day Campground Hunt, I'm Tired.
strick replied to F350Platinum's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Gotcha....My policy is not to bother asking if it's public property. Private property is a different thing all together. This has been talked about ad nauseam over here on west coast. Too many people with uniforms that don't know the rules and too many idiots making laws that cant be enforced. The Camp Ground I was referring to was private property as I recall which is why I asked them to begin... strick -

4 Day Campground Hunt, I'm Tired.
strick replied to F350Platinum's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
We stayed at a old camp ground a few years ago. when I spoke to the lady host she said it was ok to detect...early next morning I was out in the ball field and the male host comes walking up and tells me I'm not allowed to detect....when I told him "Thats not what your wife told me" he changed his tune...350 your right the king rules.. strick -
Looking For GPX 6000 Coil Alternatives
strick replied to Fearless Heart's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Agree 100 % after using the 12x7 and the 10x5 on a patch recently I've found the 10x5 to hit smaller gold better then the 12x7. I was actually surprised how many pieces on heavily worked ground the 12x7 had missed. The 12x7 is great on small gold but the 10x5 is better. I have not put the stock minelab coil on my machine since taking it off but i should give it another chance next time out. strick -
Advice Needed On "new" Site; Sooo Much Trash!
strick replied to gordy5m's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Everyone has been very nice and thoughtful in their responses...and there have been lots of good suggestions. The beauty of the hobby is that we get to choose where we want to hunt...I recently watched a guy we all know remove about 10 pounds of nails out of a 4x4 foot area and still did not get them all out. Nothing ventured nothing gained as they say... The small coil and moving slowly will be your best bet. Use your boot to scrap the ground and move the shallower stuff. Slowly and over time you will achieve success...when you get sick of all the trash then go to a beach where you can take in a big breath of that ocean mist and clear your head. That is if you are in reach of one 🙂 strick -
Probably since we whined about it so much

Cant beat free sand at the beach.... I've done this before at one particular beach...get a plastic tub about 10 inches deep and have some fun testing your detectors. strick

Snakes, Thorns And Other Causes For Concern
strick replied to Rad Rocks's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Had a wasp hit me on the side of the face a few weeks ago opening a pipe gate...One of the few time I've been hit but not stung...bad aim or a warning shot? I'll never know but I located where they were coming from and told the owner. Couple weeks ago I was up in the High Sierras detecting when I decided to take a break for lunch so I set my detector down..When I went to pick it up I noticed there were about 5 bumble bees sucking the sweat off my arm band...I analyzed the situation briefly and decided to just give the arm cuff a wack with my hat and maybe kill a couple (I had been getting buzzed by them for hours and about had it with all the bees) ...that was a mistake and you should have heard by buddy laughing as I was swinging the hat around my head trying to fend off the swarming bees that I only managed to piss off 🙂 strick -
Snakes, Thorns And Other Causes For Concern
strick replied to Rad Rocks's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Just got off work a couple hours ago..was doing dentals at a high end well to do horse barn here in the east bay Mt diablo foot hills..a rattle snake was found in one of the feeder bags in one of the horse stalls across from where I was standing...the ladies were a little bit concerned but soon forgot about it. Just keep your eyes open. Grizzles that a whole different deal. strick -
Gold With 3 Different Detectors This Week
strick replied to Compass's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Nice work Compass. I love the Excalibur. I have one of the last that was made with the 8" coil and I bought it for trashy beach hunting (fresh water sites) its done well for me over the years ...It's nice and simple to operate and you don't have to worry too much if its gonna leak...You're not going to find many gold chains with it but its great for rings... goes to show you don't need the latest/fastest technology to go out and find gold...it's the hunter that finds the gold. strick -
Rubber Tips For Pinpointers
strick replied to Bill (S. CA)'s topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I've never bought them...I can see on some of my pinpointers where I have worn the plastic a lot but not down to where it ruins the pinpointer...maybe they become more sensitive as your wear down the plastic lol...that being said I usually break my pinpointers due to other bad habits rather then the tip going out...I'm constantly throwing them off to the side once the target has been located. strick -
Yea and that machine has the stability as well...Just lacking in the speed department. Just to be clear my comments on the Deus 2 are purely from a relic hunting point of view so take them with a grain of salt...I like my Minelabs for jewelry hunting... Another thing to consider is that you like using larger coils so you might want to check out how the deus 2 feels with the larger coils before you buy....you may not like the balance. But then there are the after market shafts with counter weights you could buy if you want to start going down that road.. strick
-
Stability it get a A plus Accuracy I'd give it a B it tends to lump things together esp when you get above 70 TID...Silver coins are easy as they have been with most well built metal detectors...you already have the most accurate TID machine...you know what I'm talking about.... but i would not discourage you from getting a deus 2 as they are a fun machine to use and fast strick

Manticore Coil Options (m-8, M-9, M-11, M-15)
strick replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Minelab Manticore Forum
And you guys get paid to do this? I love how you throw more fuel on the fire by mentioning how the coil that we probably will never see will work for us lol... How about just work on getting the coils out that were promised at the release of the M-Core and cut the BS...been going on almost a year now...slow pokes strick- 40 replies
