Help With ID Of Old Silver
okara gold replied to okara gold's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I'd like to see the edge you are talking about. Are theses coins supposed to be hammered? I've never seen the edge of one of those either. Thanks Bob K -
Help With ID Of Old Silver
okara gold replied to okara gold's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I just weighed it...3.1 grams. Doesn't sound too authentic if all those shown are only 1.3 to 1.4g. -
Help With ID Of Old Silver

Can you just clarify what the difference between the above pieces? Is the souvenir pocket piece a replica versus the "authentic" period piece? Thanks -
Help With ID Of Old Silver
okara gold replied to okara gold's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I just tried the google lens and after a couple of attempts it worked great. Better on the reverse side. I guess my next step is to get it authenticated. It's been thrown in a box with other finds of mine. Found it back in the late 70's early 80's. -

Help With ID Of Old Silver

I cant believe you found it so fast! It certainly looks like the William 1 silver penny. The 10th picture in the link you sent is dead on. Thanks! -
I found this coin years ago in an old park in NY. It is just a bit larger than a dime and just a bit smaller than a penny. It is silver... any ideas? Thanks Bob

Congratulations on finding that ring. What a thrill that must have been as it was lost for so long. Sure would like to have seen the reactions of the family and you!

March - 3 Gold - AQ Ltd
okara gold replied to Slimpickuns's topic in First Texas - Bounty Hunter, Fisher & Teknetics
That's some pretty gold for sure! I've been sidelined for about a month (doctors orders) but all clear now to hunt until my arm falls off and turn the AQ onto some gold! -
Here's my view... I have an AQ also. It has been in for repair and returned to me. I received the email from FT offering me another. At first I thought it was some kind of spam. Then I figured maybe that was FT's way of notifying me that another AQ, or battery, or 8 inch coil was now available. I thought nothing more of it and didn't respond back to them. As long as they don't notify me about my car warranty, I'm not bothered at all.

Freddy Dodge's Gold Prospecting Show
okara gold replied to Tom Slick's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
You've got the bridge, but I sold all the ocean front property in Arizona a long time ago. You can check it out... there's none there. ? -
How Deep? Jewelry Hunting In The Water
okara gold replied to F350Platinum's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
I have found gold rings at ankle depth all the way out to my chin. But like Steve said... they do get scattered further out. My biggest gold chain was found in about 5 feet of water just about at my chin depth. -
Shallow Water Hunt Yields Some Gold
okara gold replied to UtahRich's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Nice hunt and some fine rings! -
When I set my AQ volume to 0 ...there is no sound. When increasing to 1 a target is heard. As you keep increasing the volume it increases as it should. The maximum is 9+. At this point it is very loud. I would say with a quiet ambient surrounding, 4 or 5 is pleasant to the ears. I'm a little deaf, (too much time at the trap range) so a 7 / preset is roughly what I use. Wind and crashing waves a little more. The threshold also has its own separate volume.

Anyone Using The 8" Coil On The AQ
okara gold replied to CCadrin's topic in First Texas - Bounty Hunter, Fisher & Teknetics
I would like to know approximately how much of a lower delay I could run the 8" in salt water. I know there are many variables with water temperature and amount of salinity in a given body of water but just a rough approximation. I can run about a 10-10.5 in calm water now with the 12.5" but with bigger swells its hard to do. -
Epic Weekend Digging Bottles
okara gold replied to abenson's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Nice find on all those bottles! The Kilmer's is pretty cool. I always like how they put a kidney on the front panel. That was the only reason I bought my first metal detector back in the '70's was to find old bottle dumps. Dig it all till they're gone. Might find a nice poison bottle in the mix. -
Sorry to hear that cudamark. My AQ was in for repair for quite awhile but it is back in my hands now. Fisher told me they replaced the complete electronics. I had a little surgery the day after I received the AQ and that has kept me away from hunting, but am just getting back into the swing of things again. I have a total of 8 hours on the wet sand with it and all is well. Good luck!

That must have been the best thing to see. Thanks for sharing!

Some Unique Desert Nugget Distribution
okara gold replied to Condor's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Sure is nice seeing those nuggets, but what really got me drooling was just seeing that nice broken bedrock. Well done! -
Something Happened To The Beach
okara gold replied to Jim in ma's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
What a great spot you found. I would grid it at different angles and dig every questionable target too! Good luck the next time around! Nice score on the gold and you have a great assortment of machines to leave nothing behind.
