Valens Legacy

Great hunting Simon, glad to see you get some nice gold again. That river looks like it would be great for a sluice setup there around the bend. Grandfather and I have had a lot of luck on bends like that. We always sluiced or panned when we went out.

Great find on the shield. She only had 2 hooks from each of the treble hooks in her that would not come out, then they went back to the lake. That was the first time that grandfather had hooked anyone I am told. Once again great find and good luck on your next hunt.

Great hunt, and you even got some bite out of it! Good luck on your next outing.

I really don't have a hero for metal detecting, however this forum is a great mentor for someone like me. I am a newbie in this area, and have been reading a lot about the 800, and trying to learn what to do with it. At times I just want to beat it against the trees, but I know I have to do my best to continue through the learning process. The people here are kind, knowledgeable, and helpful to the max when anyone needs their help. So I guess this forum is not only my mentor, but also my hero. Thank you all for your help.

Grandfather would have said that is not hooked. I found a picture he sent me a couple of years ago that showed how grandmother got hooked on a hobby she liked. They both liked fishing and she really got hooked.

Welcome to the forum, and there is a lot of people here if you have any questions. I am new at this also and have met some very nice and helpful people. Good luck on your hunting.

Great hunt, good luck on your next outing.

I really hope that you are right about that as I probably have dug over 250 holes in my grandmothers back yard by now and have only found 4 coins. I have been digging every time I get a solid tone and I can now tell everyone that her back yard looks like a war scene from the movies. I have read a lot of articles on here, but still don't know what I am doing. However if digging everything helps find the good stuff, I should be getting my share soon. I only have about another 1/4 block to go to the back fence and then I will move over about 10 feet more and come back up to the house again. They

Why don't you try this item below with your bluetooth headphones. Hope this helps. https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Simultaneously/dp/B01EHSX28M/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=headphone+jack+to+bluetooth+adapter&qid=1600316897&sr=8-3

That is a fantastic hunt, I will be lucky to be able to do that with my grandfathers 800. I have only found 3 coins with it so far, but I am cleaning out the trash from his back yard with it. I think it is going to take a miracle to learn that thing, but I am working on it.

Very nice finds and a great gold piece. Good luck on your next hunt.

Good reading the article and I never knew about the gold rush before down there. Thanks for the information.

That is a nice lock now you need to find the key that opens it. Nice hunt and good luck on your next one.

Great find and congrats on the rings. Hope I will be able to do that some day.

Nice article and thanks for posting it.
