Welcome to a great forum and a rather addictive hobby. Good luck and enjoy! HH jim tn

Nice batch of interesting finds and history update. Great buttons! HH jim tn 

Welcome and welcome back to the excitement! HH jim tn

I would set down, close my eyes, clear my mind and think about what the last few things I did, and where, before leaving the house. Have you hid the stash before? And if so, where? Quickly placing it elsewhere perhaps isn't to far away from where you initially kept it, just hidden/covered better? Do you remember going to the basement or attic before leaving on vacation? Good luck, sounds like you need all you can get. HH jim tn

Pretty nice find! Wouldn't it be grand if some of our relics could talk? Good hit! HH jim tn

I hunt city parks, old school yards, curb strips and city owned vacant housing lots, to name a few places, and I very seldom have emi issues with the Nox 900. Hence not everybody has emi issues in the city. HH jim tn

I run my 900 pretty regularly on 26 sen with no emi issues unless I get within a few yards of a school building or run across underground power lines. I had few issues with my 600, but the 900 is more smoother and proficient. HH jim tn

I remember it now after seeing it mainly because I was a Ted Williams fan. In fact, I might have been using a White's Coin Master about 1979. HH jim tn

Welcome from W Tn. HH jim tn

Welcome aboard! Interesting looking spot. Thank you and good luck. HH jim tn

Nice finds! Interesting badge, never saw one posted like it before. HH jim tn

Nice report and good job on the silvers! HH jim tn

Sounds like a coil problem. Try the larger coil and see if it does or doesn't do the same. HH jim tn

Del, my 600 isn't and nor is my 900. My buddy has a 900 and doesn't mention "chirpy," either. HH jim tn

Welcome! You can yet be saved as you are still  looking for your first detector. Might want to consider chess, scrabble, checkers, these are far less addictive endeavors. Good luck, it truly is a great hobby. HH Jim Tn

I haven't been able to get on either for over a year. Apple computer! HH jim tn

After trying numerous ones I ended up liking Grey Ghost's the best....good quality sound and the most comfortable. Black Widow's I felt actually had a bit better sound, but didn't fit me quite as well. HH jim tn

Welcome! HH Jim Tn

Welcome and thank you! HH Jim Tn

I took delivery of my 900 a week ago today and my first hunt with it was last Fri. and I have hunted with it daily since. One site in particular I was noting somewhat bouncy numbers, a park that once was a home site and has quite a bit of iron and gravel areas, and I recall recovering a Merc. dime that sounded rather ratty with numbers bouncing from around 80 to 86. It was 5-6" deep. A silver dime yesterday at 5" pretty much locked on 82 and most clad and cents I've recovered weren't all that bouncy as well. Recovered a 3 clad quarter stack this morning at 4" that was a lock 91-92. Thought I might have a silver quarter. Anyway, thus far for the most part I'm not experiencing the wide range of numbers that some others report. I will be up in Mn all next week and the area we'll be at has 4 bar (F75) ground. That will be a better test as my ground is (F75) 2 bar dirt on the average. Almost all my hunting has been in park 1 with sensitivity 24-26.  HH Jim Tn

Welcome, Jeff, haven't turf hunted in Fl for about 4-5 years, but the few times I did I went to city parks and schools. Knew/know state parks are off limits, but city parks and schools were ok. I know people hunt inland, so not everywhere is off limits. Might check around and see where the closest metal detecting club is located and attend a meeting. You may not learn anyones secret (good) spot, but you will get a general idea where some hunt other then the beaches. Good luck, this is a great hobby. HH Jim Tn

You are not alone, adc, you have idiot company. I just peeled the bubble right off. For my old eyes, however, that film protection is not easy to see. Anyway, all is good. HH Jim Tn

A chess board pawn was my initial thoughts! HH jim tn

Couple of nice looking buttons, good recoveries. HH jim tn

Welcome and good luck with your mining endeavors. HH jim tn
