Dream hill.👍

Davey , Davey Crockett . King of the wild frontier !   Fess Parker starred in that show IIRC.

I always wanted one of those !🥸

Nice medallion and story to go with it ! Hope it finds it's way back home.👍

🤯 And the halves keep on coming !  👍

Your mission Mr Phelps (if you decide to accept it) is to make sure they bury nothing but dirt ! 👍

As always we will disavow any knowledge of your activities and applaud your finds ! Dig 'em dig 'em !

blackflag and King 

Welcome and welcome back to the forums to both of ya from uptah camp !🥸

Did you find any treasarrrrrrr today ?🏴‍☠️

 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 .  👍 

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. 

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.....

A minute of silence for every breathtaking shine further revealed Ss,Gp,Gf...Not to mention golden coloured pulltabs 🤣

....................... 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 !

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 😜

 🥸You 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 🖖.

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 ?

I wonder if we'll see an Algo Force pin pointer ? 🤔

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. 🥸

I predict a lot of silver.....🤔

🤯 Stunner ! Well done son of the beach !

You went and done it this hunt ,,,treasarrrrrr🏴‍☠️ 

Quite a haul WTG ! Nice Walker .👍

I was instantly snapped out of the swirling trance ....😵

When you popped that RING !😳

👍 , just👍 

I'm waiting for white to be green+brown again.😎

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....arrrrrrr🏴‍☠️ 

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 👍

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..... 

That control might be at mod or admin level only .🤔

I like those two piece handles .  🥸  👍

Take two and call in the morning ! It'll cure what ails ya !

Great find  !🏴‍☠️  🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️
