I hear you 18 is a tuff one for me to want to dig out of the turf, but you made a golden choice well done, nice ring! ?

That's awesome 10k in 10 minutes! yahoo!! ?? ht

Good to hear you're okay Joe, hope you get back on your feet and swinging soon!  ht

Nice haul Jim, growing up surfing in California i know what you mean, the yellow keeps you warm in cold water. ? ht

Stay out of the casino's bro, whatever you do!  Don't worry eveything changes things will get better. ht ?

Awesome Mitch, that's the 1 we hope to hit. ? ht

The cut confirms what we knew its's a hunk of slag. Way to follow through with identification, keep in mind if you see bubbles or little holes you probably don't have a meteorite. The other thing i see most beginners post quite large rock suspects, when the real ones are usually quite small like the size of a golf ball not a softball, just a couple things to keep in mind. ht  

Very cool, love when you see that coin after chasing a weird sounding tone, nice hunting!

It does not look like a meteorite to me, you can try a couple of easy tests like try to see if a magnet will stick to your rock, most meteorites will attract a magnet. Next take your rock and try to scratch the inside of your toilet bowl lid. You can use unfinished piece of porcelain tile if you have some, but see if a streak of color appears or not. Meteorites don't usually leave any streak. Good luck hope you find one!  ht

What type of detector were you using to find that?

 

I was swinging Equinox 800 with 11" coil, for almost a year straight. Started in park 1 factory settings i left alone for a couple of months and then started exploring park 2 with custom settings, usually with 20-23 sensitivity, and 6-7 recovery, 0 iron bias.

Thanks to forum members for showing me how to clean and cash in my coins, didn't pay for my nox 800, but sure made the wife happy with Amazon credit. We now have some nice new cookware. ?  ht

Awesome coins bro! the best 23 cents i have ever seen. Looks like you are getting better with your swinging, good job. ? ht

Ho Ho Ho,  great finds! happy new year may your adventures continue. ht 

Good hunting, and nice gold!

Thanks for the great display of finds. You are clearly on your way to mastering retirement, congratulations!  ht 

Thanks for sharing your results, you are fasting than me, but i agree after about six months things really began to come together with understanding my nox. I plan on posting my finds and coin totals for the year coming up in a few weeks, and i hear you still learning every time!

Right on Dave, looks like you are using a well tested boot. Think i will give them a try, thanks for sharing bro!??  ht

Nice find, that's one cool looking cross. 

Not a pallasite or any kind of meteorite, but a cool rock none the less.
