Valens Legacy

No problems for me on here, as you have always ran a great forum and people look out for each other on here.

Nice ring at a great price!

I am still trying to wrap my mind around having to pay to go to the beach.

Was it a private or public beach.

I have never heard of having to pay for them, but I guess it is a California thing.

Thats exactly what I thought when I dug it.  It rang up 92.

Was that aluminum bench hard to dig up?

Was that the bench or the coin?

Great hunt, good luck on your next outing.

I believe that there were a few articles on the 440 a year or so ago that would be a good read for you. I can't remember if it was under the minelab section or not.

Nice hunt and some good saves.

Good luck on your next outing and I will also send some of my weather to you for good luck. It is only in the low 30's so it should send a few chills up and down your back every time you get a good target.

Great job hunting all those finds, and glad that you were able to save the nice stuff.

Good luck on your next outings as we enjoy seeing what you come up with next.

Stay safe out there.

Welcome to the forum and there is always information on here that will improve your skills with what ever detector you use.

When in doubt don't hesitate to ask for help as there is always someone who can answer your questions.

that is the best part of this forum, people do help.

Good luck and good hunting.

Another nice hunt with some relics to boot.

Great saves and I know that you will be hitting it again with the NOX.

Good luck and stay safe out there.

One of these times your going to have to show me how it's done like that.

Great hunting and I know that was a lot of hard work.

Good luck and stay safe out there.

Now that is nice, the 11 year old shows as much talent than you because she's sneaky.

Another nice hunt and would bet that there are more coins yet to be found there. I think that we will be hearing back in the future that you have found either more silver or very old coins.

Good luck and good hunting.

Now that's a nugget, good going on the find.

Good luck on your next outing and stay safe from the snakes.

The jar with the rancid whale oil?

There are some exceptions, and the smell is still in one part of the back yard. Just can't get rid of it no matter what we put on it.

Sorry to see the ears break off and am really glad that you were able to stay on the hunt with the bungee cord.

Nice looking hunt to say the least with some great saves.

Good luck on your next hunt.

A friend broke some ears off his detectors coil and his friend who owns a auto body shop put them back on for him. They used some kind of epoxy that has never broken yet and that was 3 years ago. Just a thought.

So what was in the hole?

I have always left the trash in a bag and left it in one of the trash cans at the park, or if I am in the creeks take the trash to the next gas station and leave it there. Then I take the good stuff home with me and put it in a can or a jar until it adds up to a good amount to spend.

I believe that my biggest complaint it the fact that I don't have one. Sooner or later I might buy one.

I read about that a few days ago, and after I retire I might go to give my hand a try to find it.

I really think it has already been found and spent by someone, but you never know.

Great saves on the relics, they sure do look nice.

Good luck on your next outing and stay safe.

Nice hunt and glad to see the saves.

Good luck out there on your next hunt.

Very nice hunting and a lot of work to get the good stuff.

Good luck on your next outing and stay safe.

Now that's just crazy, I know that I have not been able to get out there in quite some time, but I have not gone that bonkers yet.

Enjoyed the read and that is some good finds for this time of the year. I think you should go to the beach next because you never know who might of lost something while ice fishing.

Good luck and stay safe from one crazy guy to another.

When I first used my grandfathers sand scoop it needed a handle, so I looked around the shop and found a stainless steel thin wall pipe. I cut it to a length that was comfortable for me and it has been very good for me.

I use mine for checking our the creeks in my neck of the woods when looking for gold. I can dig a few scoops for the pan and check it out faster than using a shovel.

I know it is a little heavier than most materials out there but it works very well and I have not bent it once.

Good going for you on those nice finds.

Good luck on your next hunt and lets see if you can double that.

I also agree with Steve H. on the Equinox, because I have been using my grandfathers 800.

I started with only the factory settings and dig almost every strong tone that I hear. I heave hearing issues that makes it hard for me to tell gold from copper. It is a constant ringing in my ears, but I can now tell you what I am going to be digging by looking at the numbers on the screen and the type of tone I am hearing to most degrees.

These new detectors are almost fool proof right out of the box on locating a target to dig when the coil is over a target. Most people on this forum will tell you that it does take many hours of use to learn the detector and that is very true for a newbie.

Good luck on your decision and be very patient when you start learning it. It will come to you on what the detector is trying to tell you.
