  1. πŸ€”Sorry 'bout that , I missed it by THAT much ! πŸ‘ At least I got the clue right.πŸ₯Έ
  2. Yes , could be nasty . But ice is out (here) , fishing season just opened and I have a lifetime license ! 😎
  3. rattlehead Edit by clicking on the 3 dots upper right of your post. Me likey Hip Clip ! 🀩 My Nomad is a lot lighter ga. metal than the big root slayer but for me the key word was lighter. (That's why I gave it to my detecting buddy ! I can still use it when needed LOL)πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ arrrrrr
  4. Winter detecting , ooooooh yeaaaaah ! πŸ‘
  5. Two layers of wool and fleece lined pants with a rain coat wind breaker was the key . Just happened to have it all laying around.. (Might get slammed on the 3rd+4th so not time for the cargo shorts just yet. Summah is still a long way off uptah camp.) Did it again yesterday 2 clad dimes and 3 zincs. The dimes were "thanks for hunting" on my way back to the rig walking through a parking area with 3 stinkin' zincs and junk in the pouch. There's a pretty hefty pile of fair junk for only 4 hours too. I think I'll save any curiosity items from the pre season hunts for a pic in case someone recognizes any of it. (Great bennie of hanging out here on D/P ! So many experienced eyes...) Time for round 3 , the bee bop beep box just finished charging. 5kts and a slight haze 44* . Where's my shades ? My future is bright.
  6. Hey Joe ! Where did ya go , with that detector in your hand ?😎 Hope your back is improving !
  7. Welcome aboard Kel ! You're going to like it here.πŸ––
  8. I think I can see a face on that last piece of lead ?
  9. Back in the groove today with a couple of hours of snow free digging. πŸ‘ In 40* and 40kt gusts. Needed to layer up and only lasted 2 hours (probably would have only made it to 3 hours if it was warm and calm.anyway.πŸ™„) 5 clad dimes , 3 zincolns , 1 key and a ring . Relax , it was bling , adjustable and almost nothing but rust. But it IS a RING !
  10. ObiNox Canobi Yup , just one is all it takes it seems. Looking back through my log , I averaged one silver in every 50 hours of detecting. or about .8 gram a week . Zero gold so far... So you frequently top my total in one hunt. I'm closer with my junk pile but still not close. LOL Now I wish I hadn't done that..... πŸ₯Έ Maybe I should move to a beach ? ,,,,yours πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! I really am a pirate if you flip me upside down ! I really don't mind , anyone making me look bad gives me goals . It's a good thing ,,,,I think. πŸ€” πŸ–– maintain yer course matey.
  11. Cool , just scatter it around , no point in making it too easy to find.😎 I've been using those fishing tackle segmented trays (~9x12x1.5?) for my finds . But will be dumping almost all of it along with anything else not screwed down to reduce weight in the rig though. Need any more guitars ?LOLπŸ™„
  12. That right there is a pirate anchor chain ! πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ Yup yup.
  13. I vote for the Radius Nomad too ! You can order it at Amz , HD orange or L blue $41. ,( about $5 cheaper at blue than orange). L blue has the big root slayer in stock in their house brand lineup. ~$40 I had the big root slayer first but it was too big and heavy for me . It sure can cut a deep plug though. Gave it to my detecting buddy.... Don't call me Goldilocks but the little root slayer Nomad was just right ! Sometimes just using the tip for shallow targets works better than my hori knife ! I drag it behind me unless I'm in the rocks. I sometimes clip it to my belt with a big carabiner and a bit of para cord to leave a hand free. OH , one more thing . Keep the protective plastic and get a heavy rubber band to hold it in place. It makes a huge difference in what those teeth chew on in the vehicle 😏
  14. sohN As always you're making my typical look unbelievably bad.πŸ₯Έ LOL And speakin' of bad. That lead thing looks like bad ju ju to me , I'd return it to where I found it😯 , and in an extra deep hole. (Maybe try it as a lucky fishing weight first just to make sure ?) 🀩 And YES the white coating on the circuit board makes a huge difference in board corrosion in marine/harsh environments. Welcome to the forum Terry. That pic is hard core ! If you search for other sohN 's posts I think you'll see ALL of what that Pi finds for him on those beaches ! We're getting used to it here but you might need a warning before viewing....
  15. Nice pic of all the buttons 350 . The lone shank probably surrendered to be with his friends ? The junk pic had several items I would have put in the good finds pic ! You're welcome to toss them out here for me to find . 😏 7 miles....hmmmm I was just thinking about driving the car over to the infield so I don't have to walk the 1/4 mile RT. πŸ™„ The vehicle gate near me is locked again and the pedestrian entrance is on the other end ... 40* and the same 40 for the wind gusts.
  16. Awwwww BUSTED ! 😯 Would it be better if I switched to green beans ? I never said anything about this but that spinach in a can tastes like crap ........😝 It was never shown on camera but there was a half stick of melted butter in every one of those spinach cans.πŸ‘
  17. The evidence is in....Your permission system sure does work ! You have become one of the locals. Everything found has a story to tell , even the pulltabs ........
  18. You've collected so many permissions it boggles the mind.🀯 You can actually cherry pick the locations instead of just the targets..πŸ‘
  19. I decided to leave the hemos in my pouch for things stuck in rock crevices. Getting pics with the chromebook selfie cam is a supreme challenge . More so without sunlight. I figured at least it looked like what it was this time.πŸ™„ The 4" of frozen crust left from Saturday is getting a steady rain at 45* so all ground should be bare again when it stops. I probably could have dug through it but zero chance of disappearing diggings if I did . Shoveling the white crust trashed my elbows anyway so I needed the break .
  20. Welcome aboard Robert ! Nice first post ! I'm sure I'm speaking for everybody on the crew. πŸ₯Έ Can we see a pic of wifey's ring find in a new thread ? πŸ––
  21. Welcome aboard from uptah camp 8mileshigh ! Byrds fan? Pull yer chair up closer to the fire.
  22. Over a year at the fair now.....I love my small (6") coil !
  23. Any day with silver in the pouch is a good day on the hunt. arrrrrrrr πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ
  24. I don't watch TV much anymore , but I do remember Dave from back when I did . It's always good to see anyone do well prospecting. And on that note,,,Welcome aboard and we're gonna need more pics of that ring kingnothing420 !
