  1. I am not worthy.😩 My reflection in the mirror is probably the oldest relic I've come across lately.😝 My oldest find is probably a piece of rusted iron,,,,,sorry , best I could think of, probably threw it away. No pic.πŸ™„ WAIT ! When did they come out with those Playboy rings ?
  2. Davey , Davey Crockett . King of the wild frontier ! Fess Parker starred in that show IIRC. I always wanted one of those !πŸ₯Έ
  3. Nice medallion and story to go with it ! Hope it finds it's way back home.πŸ‘
  4. 🀯 And the halves keep on coming ! πŸ‘
  5. Your mission Mr Phelps (if you decide to accept it) is to make sure they bury nothing but dirt ! πŸ‘ As always we will disavow any knowledge of your activities and applaud your finds ! Dig 'em dig 'em !
  6. blackflag and King Welcome and welcome back to the forums to both of ya from uptah camp !πŸ₯Έ Did you find any treasarrrrrrr today ?πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ
  7. It's great to have you on the crew Bob . Your experiences cover a lot of ground , literally as well as figuratively ! The stories so far were also impressive . πŸ‘ We have a lot in common besides detecting and prospecting . We'll have to start a chit chat thread in meet and greet or a PM and talk other gear addictions . My 2nd axe was a Mosrite bass.
  8. Welcome aboard from uptah camp Bob ! After reading several posts here by the forum's heavy hitters (I am not worthy) I want to thank you for deciding to make the best forum even better by comin' aboard ! I remember seeing that illustration too and I still use what I learned from it. I see you mentioned something about replicating guitars and amps in your bio. Did you mean build from scratch kinda stuff ? That's impressive . I designed a prototype circuit for a local luthier and dabble a bit myself . I spent my life on the road in the business as a sound system tech , now just an OSM (old sound man) and a fan of Uncle Doug.....
  9. ....................... not sure how to post a moment of silence but sure know why Skull posted that^. And I don't care what people say behind my back , I'm counting those golden pull rings as gold rings found ! well , at least until I find a real one !
  10. Unlikely to use mine in the water. Just scoop as fast as possible before it fills back in.😏 In less wet to dry sand , I use mine almost every target to zero in better after using coil PP , mostly to keep from trashing the target . I'm no stranger to a scratched or destroyed target that just got a kiss by my dig tool . When I find that first gold ring , it must be PERFECT ! 🀩 I still use the coil to PP but even with the 6" I was still finding a target that had jumped to the side wall once I got the hole opened up and then up and up. It's not so much a time thing but wear and tear on my elbows. Five seconds of handheld PP vs one or two extra scoops ... and besides , as we all know smaller holes are better 😜
  11. πŸ₯ΈYou found a great detecting situation ! Hope you have more success helping them to clear it out , and in the process find more of those pairs πŸ––.
  12. Welcome to the crew SDA67 ! This place is full of answers , if you can't find the one you're looking for just ask. Getting permissions is a good skill to have ! So what farm stuff have you found ?
  13. I wonder if we'll see an Algo Force pin pointer ? πŸ€” I've used rechargeable batteries on the road and offgrid since the 80s. Have probably saved a million $ over disposables .(the old ni-cads just wouldn't work in my camera but everything else were good with them , and the NiMH too.) I got 4 lithium type C 9 volts for about $25 last winter IIRC . Just get the pin pointer that you like best on other features after reading this thread. The batteries are available to make them all rechargeable.
  14. Nice ! An old abandoned horse race location . ( I live on one but this one was never abandoned.) I recognized the storm window lock (top right in junk photos.) The horseshoe was a sign of good luck. πŸ₯Έ I predict a lot of silver.....πŸ€”
  15. 🀯 Stunner ! Well done son of the beach ! You went and done it this hunt ,,,treasarrrrrrπŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ
  16. I was instantly snapped out of the swirling trance ....😡 When you popped that RING !😳
  17. πŸ‘ , justπŸ‘ I'm waiting for white to be green+brown again.😎
  18. Yesterday and today's hunts , 6 hours total. Weather was sunny and 50* uptah camp and the winds still 5kts today . The digging was easy . 😎 Only 4 people asked if I found anything good . 😩 800- 6" coil , park 2 , recovery 6. Swinging over an area where 2 big carny rides were set up. It took a while but I finally located where the lines of people were.. Things looked a lot different now vs. then.. 1 quarter , 4 dimes (1 a 1966 almost but no cigar) , 4 nickels , 9 copper memorial pennies and 18 zincolns. 1 8d crusty square nail . A 100 amp electric plug casing (rusted steel probably a carny cast off). Also found some bling bits . 1 looked silver-ish but no markings....arrrrrrrπŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ I had to get a bigger junk pouch ! Using a 1 qt insulated water bottle holder now , it even has a trap door on top , @ goodwill for $2 πŸ‘ The sky will be falling the next couple three-four days best I can figgah accordin' ta some young fellah on the tv . But the lows just around freezing so the ground's not gonna be gettin' hahd . 8-10" heavy and wet on the shore tomorrow night but the rest of it should be rain dontchyaknow Chummy . 18" or more up in the hills oooie ! It's lookin' like I'll be the only one with power again.....
  19. That control might be at mod or admin level only .πŸ€”
