I found one similar Avon Sterling ring, it has the appearance and texture of being plated and the stones are very dull. Norm

WTG Chris, I think you might have enough for that Jeep! I'll bet that put a smile on Wilma's face! Norm

I have a NOX with Steve's shaft and fully loaded counter weight. I find that with the 11" coil, the balance is perfect for my 6 foot frame. Norm

R.I.P. Valen My condolences go out to your family and friends, Your thoughtful comments will be missed by many on this forum. Norm

I am pretty sure there is work being done to restore the content of Bill and Linda's site. Barry at Land Matters has been working on it. Norm

Do I Need The New Silver Saver Series?
normmcq replied to normmcq's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Yes Dog, it is sterling and Klunker this might have been your sister's Barby's grandmother! Norm -
I got this one in an old yard, with my CTX. The owners are natives of the community and didn't have a clue as to who Barby was. Norm

There is an old saying "THE CREAM ALWAYS FLOATS TO THE TOP" That is how I found this thread today and I read every word of it including the posts from the interview. I thoroughly enjoyed every word of it and would like to thank you Steve for your honesty openness. I now know now why I immediately liked you when I accidentally met you in the Nevada desert. Thanks for providing us with such a great forum Norm

I got my Avantree headphones yesterday and went out with them today. I can say that I am able to hear signals better with these on this detector than any combination of detectors and headphones that I own. I will be anxious to try them on my CTX and GPZ. I wish there were a way to use them wireless with the other detectors. Norm

Got back out to the designated parking area for a short hunt this afternoon. I decided to hunt the area that I found the first Rosie last year. When I was there last year, I was just recovering from my second back operation and didn't really have the strength for a thorough hunt. As best I can remember, I missed this coin by just a few feet. I am glad I missed it, it made my day today. Norm
-
GB The composition of that coin is aluminum, the TID was 20 with a high tone. I am like you, surprised to find that such a small country had a mint. No info on the mintage number but it must not have been many. Norm
-
Mitchel I was using my 800 with the detector speaker. I went to that remote area so no one else would have to listen to my detector. My headphones and WM 08 are with Minelab for repair or replacement and my aftermarket ones haven't arrived. Norm

I went out in the forest today and hunted a designated parking area for a U.C. Berkeley Forestry Camp. I am not sure how long this particular spot has been the designated parking area, but the camp has been in existence for over a hundred years. I got my second silver Rosie plus two Wheaties there today. I have the mind set that if there are Wheaties, there should be some silver. Well today was a little different, I found the silver first and then the Wheaties. Then I found I found the coin from Luxembourg, 1954 25 Centines, it happens to be worth more than the silver. Norm
-
Thanks Mitchel Before getting the issues resolved with Minelab I had read thru all of the threads and had settled on the Avantree Audition Pro. I hope they get here in a timely manner. Norm
-
I did get a return call from Minelab this afternoon from the 814 215 1732 number. The defective parts are on the way back to them and replacements will be shipped as soon as the old ones are received. Thanks to all, Norm
-
Is there any one set of wireless headphones that most people feel work good on the Equinox? My WM 08 and furnished headphones have both failed, I need some alternatives. Norm
-
Thanks Steve The first number message, you have reached the voice box of #33, the second # instructs you to leave name and number and then cuts you off before you can. Frustrated Norm
-
Thanks Paul, I will try that number Norm
-
Does anyone know if Minelab service center is closed due to Covid 19? I called for help, got the canned recording promising a return call................................Still waiting Norm

Two Gold From The Chesapeake Bay
normmcq replied to Joe Beechnut OBN's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Joe If you did find some silver that is really old, would you be able to identify it? The eighty year old coins look about as bad as I do! Norm -
Yes, I use headphones with my hearing aids. My audiologist says that I have a profound hearing loss and have found that over the ears give me the best results with my behind the ear hearing aids. The molded silicone ear pieces are more forgiving and I get less feedback with them. If you have any specific questions, I will be happy to answer them if I can. Norm

Pure copper melts @ 1984 degrees F, wood campfire about 1100 degrees F. Oxyacetylene torch about 6000 degrees F. A coal forge about 3500 degrees F. Melted copper nuggets fairly easy to make, a smooth copper nugget, I think would have to move quite a ways to change from a naturally occurring nugget Norm
-
Looks like copper to me, do a specific gravity test and let us know the results. Norm

Paul If you didn't have bad luck, you wouldn't have any at all! Glad you got your truck back, but not much chance on your 800. Norm- 64 replies
