rattlehead Edit by clicking on the 3 dots upper right of your post. Me likey Hip Clip ! π€© 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)π΄ββ οΈ arrrrrr -
Winter detecting , ooooooh yeaaaaah ! π

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.

Rose Head Spike? And A "huh"?

I think I can see a face on that last piece of lead ? -
Back in the groove today with a couple of hours of snow free digging. π 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.π) 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 !

Beach Hunt 2023 Has Started
rvpopeye replied to schoolofhardNox's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
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..... π₯Έ Maybe I should move to a beach ? ,,,,yours π΄ββ 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. π€ π maintain yer course matey. -
Back To The 1 Acre Out Of 100
rvpopeye replied to F350Platinum's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Cool , just scatter it around , no point in making it too easy to find.π 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 ?LOLπ- 12 replies

Shovel Recommendations?
rvpopeye replied to Geologyhound's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
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 π -
Beach Hunt 2023 Has Started
rvpopeye replied to schoolofhardNox's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
sohN As always you're making my typical look unbelievably bad.π₯Έ LOL And speakin' of bad. That lead thing looks like bad ju ju to me , I'd return it to where I found itπ― , and in an extra deep hole. (Maybe try it as a lucky fishing weight first just to make sure ?) π€© 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.... -
Back To The 1 Acre Out Of 100
rvpopeye replied to F350Platinum's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
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 . π 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. π 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.- 12 replies

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.π 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 .
