Charles Garrett & The Coming Storm
rvpopeye replied to Bob Sickler's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
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 . π 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. -
Charles Garrett & The Coming Storm
rvpopeye replied to Bob Sickler's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
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..... -
Who Uses A Pinpointer On The Beach?
rvpopeye replied to Bill (S. CA)'s topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Unlikely to use mine in the water. Just scoop as fast as possible before it fills back in.π 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 ! π€© 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 π -
π₯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 π.

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 ?

Best Rechargeable Pinpointer?
rvpopeye replied to KDX's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
I wonder if we'll see an Algo Force pin pointer ? π€ 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. -
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. π₯Έ I predict a lot of silver.....π€

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 . π Only 4 people asked if I found anything good . π© 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....arrrrrrrπ΄ββ 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 π 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.....
