Fresh Drop Hunting..3 Gold Rings
Joe D. replied to Joe Beechnut OBN's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
I thought they called those "concrete goloshes" or "lead slippers" up your way!๐คฃ But you may be onto something! As long as they don't pull you down into a hole!! ๐๐ -

Beach Season Has Begun
Joe D. replied to schoolofhardNox's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
You definitely put in a long day! And did a great job cleaning up the beach!๐ All "practice" finds, for better conditions!!๐ Funny you mentioned the "stink eye" you got! On my hunt above, I got the the "stink head shake" after waving at another hunter I gave a wide berth too!! That was a first!!๐คฃ๐๐- 206 replies

Ongoing Equinox Coil Ear Breakage Issue
Joe D. replied to Bill (S. CA)'s topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
That's the beauty of us brainstorming Pimento!! We (forum members) will always get it figured out, with or without, the manufacturers help!๐๐ -
Ongoing Equinox Coil Ear Breakage Issue
Joe D. replied to Bill (S. CA)'s topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Good find Pimento, You may be on to something! If ML is experimenting with the formulations, than I give them credit for at least trying to fix the problem, without a mold change! That would be the least expensive solution, if it works!! Since we last visited this post, I have come to believe that their coil bolts are partly to blame! I have begun to alter them in different ways, to make them less likely to put too much pressure on the coil ears! And because I have several in reserve to use up! They can also be replaced with other brands/types to accomplish the same result!๐๐ -
Unexpected "wheatfield" (updated)
Joe D. replied to GB_Amateur's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
While we are briefly on the sports field subject! Just a little "lesson" taught to me years ago, that I want to pass on to any "newer" people! Some Field Staff do not like/allow digging on "their" fields; sometimes for good reasons!! Dirt, grass, or otherwise! I get it!! So be especially aware of any holes dug!! And ideally, ask one of them first, if present! For Baseball Diamonds, and practice areas, under the top "orange" layer of soil, is generally a regular soil layer, if you dig deeper than a "few" inches! The soil "colors" should be separated, and placed back in reverse, so as not to leave brown blotches on an otherwise "prestine" orange dirt area!! And any grass fields should be probed, slit cut, or three-sided, instead of fully plugged! Than possibly wet with some water,, if dry, so they don't die, or discolor! And well compacted back, so no depressions are left to cause a twisted player ankle, or fall!! Actively used "public" sports fields are not an ideal place to avoid attention, even when totally vacant, so they can sometimes be tricky! (in my area anyway)! And any "highly manicured" field is sure to attract unwanted attention, and guaranteed problems! FYI ๐๐ -

If you do, the feet go down!!๐คฃ๐๐ -
Hello Deven, Happy you made it here, and you are very lucky to be in some beautiful country! Sounds like your skills fit nicely with mining, and detecting! This is a great place for both, and you may learn a few things, and also share a few, while your here!! Good luck out there!!๐๐๐

Plantar Fasciitis, Or๐คฌ!! My Heel Really Hurts!!
Joe D. replied to Joe D.'s topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I'll just cut right to the source, and chew on some coral!!๐คฃ I'm always picking up pieces, and shells, when I detect, for two fish tanks, and big glass jars at home!! Seriously, may be worth a try!! Thanks!!๐ Just got out this evening to mow the grass! For some reason, nothing will stop growing, while my foot hurts!!๐ It was bearable, with some new inserts, but still uncomfortable! But the show must go on, and I'm tired of sitting on my a$$ this week! Gonna try a park hunt or two next week, and work it slowly! Gotta be better by our "Winter" beach season, or I'll just hack it off, and replace it with a "big" coil, and a hip mount!!๐๐๐ -
Yep, those beach window's open and close so fast! I've been told many times by some of our beach guys, that if your lucky enough to hit one right, hunt till you can't swing anymore! Than switch arms, and swing "goofy" some more!๐คฃ GREAT JOB!!!๐๐

Fresh Drop Hunting..3 Gold Rings
Joe D. replied to Joe Beechnut OBN's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Nice finds, as usual Joe!!๐๐๐ And your lead collection should be large enough by now, to supply a tackle shop, or small army!!๐๐๐ -
Those two mated pieces look to me to be a kids life size "cowboy" cap gun barrel! Sorry you didn't find the coins that "should" have been there, but is it possible that someone beat you there? And cleaned it out! Or they simply got buried deeper, being a path! Still interesting finds!! Anyway, I'm sure there are other locations, including the waterfall area, that has some hidden coins/jewelry!!๐๐

Unexpected "wheatfield" (updated)
Joe D. replied to GB_Amateur's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
A baseball diamond produced my oldest wheat penny here in S. Florida! A 1911 in fairly good shape! All the orange sand/clay is trucked in from somewhere North, or out of state, I presume! As we have zero orange sand/clay here!๐๐ -
Plantar Fasciitis, Or๐คฌ!! My Heel Really Hurts!!
Joe D. replied to Joe D.'s topic in Detector Prospector Forum
That's a great "Bush Fix" Tv! I'll save that for next time it happens, for some immediate relief! Mini roles of duct tape are a travel necessity, wherever you are!! Great for a temp fix of a broken coil tab, and many other items too!!๐๐๐ -
More Great Advice For Newbies..
Joe D. replied to Erik Oostra's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Sounds alot like a golf, or fishing obsession! But unlike those, when you calm down, you can go back and find your "thrown in disgust'" items, with ease!! With one of your other detectors!!๐คฃ๐๐ -
Plantar Fasciitis, Or๐คฌ!! My Heel Really Hurts!!
Joe D. replied to Joe D.'s topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Strick, More or less the same for me! Acts up out of the blue in one foot than sometimes hits the other! Luckily it hasn't been at the same time! Unfortunately, it seems to be a more common problem, than I thought! In any case, only a minor setback when put into perspective of possible ailments we could get! But thanks for all the suggestions and support from everyone!!๐๐ -
I watched the Myers Detectors interview with Delik last night! (No Facebook for me!!) It was pretty clear that some changes were being made! But I still got some good information! (Thanks Delik๐)!! I'm fine with the wait, (remember, chip shortage, etc...) as I really want to see NM hit the ground running with a stellar product, with all the right accessories, and coil selection! And try and lock down any shipping delays, so that we are not left waiting for an item to drop, like we have seen happen to others more recently! Tough on any business dealing worldwide!! ๐๐๐

The Light Just Went Out On Lightning
Joe D. replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Nokta / Makro Legend Forum
So Chuck, I guess that "Mini detector" is for when "You've fallen, and can't get up!!" After pushing a "Med Alert" button, you just detect the area within reach, till Rescue arrives!!! Because your so "Hard Core"!!๐๐คฃ๐คฃ Look's familiar!! My collection is mostly under my son's bed, so my wife can't count them!!๐๐๐ -
Plantar Fasciitis, Or๐คฌ!! My Heel Really Hurts!!
Joe D. replied to Joe D.'s topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Sorry to hear that Jeff, heal quickly! It's that much harder, when your used to getting out to do what you want, and then told by doc's to sideline for awhile! Especially when the weather is agreeable! And good point about Covid/Summer pounds! Jumping back too fast, to beach hunting here, after being parked in the A/C; except for yard work,etc... was too much on the foot! Footwear not withstanding! I should have eased into it better with some Park hunts! Lesson(s) learned!๐๐
