  1. So , I'm at the end of warranty on "Noxous" .I might even hit hr #100 this summer ! But have far surpassed that on forums and YT vids. I've noticed a "lack of pattern ? "in regards to those "precious" rings by looking at so very very many ID charts here and elsewhere. For every ID # on a detector , there is probably a gold ring that rings clear as a bell. And not just gold , that first piece of sterling was a 20 IIRC , a zincoln #. End of the story ,,yet I persist. Considering I've never found a gold ring with the 800 , if it's a consistent # , I'm pulling it out ! And yes , there ARE a lot of pull tabs on an 800 #13 ! But lots of nickels too. And ding ding ding , also a ring. The 900 has tabs more spread out . Lots of room in there for hiding goodies ! I heard once that you could donate pull tabs to the Ronald McDonald House ...... ? Not sure what they do with them but collectively we could help them corner the market on the little PIAs ! I know all kinds of good places to toss the junk out ! And besides I can't let SOH Nox make me look bad forever...😜It might take me all year but I'm having one of those "everything but the kitchen sink" pics. I wrote a song to teach the kiddies on my pirate ship " Row row row yer boat , across the ocean green . Merrily merrily merrily merrily , All The Gold's For Me !" Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
  2. Scout The white looks all too familiar . Yet you persisted ! Envy the still thawed ground .... Nothing worse than a great signal and the ground is solid for two feet ! I haven't seen a distributor condenser in a long time .
  3. Toad ,,, You did it ! You became part of the machine ! πŸ‘ Pure concentration. I've experienced such a state of mind during my shows ...😎 I always thought it was because of all my studies and many years of experience.with the gear. But now I'm wondering if the long rides in the bus had anything to do with it ? There's just no escaping some things.........😜
  4. Welcome to the posting side Robert , you're in ! I agree with 350... . Impressive assortment of finds ! Some real winners in there too ! I doubt anybody would complain if you did a second post with a few close ups ???
  5. Welcome to the forum Steve ! No such thing as silly questions , ask away. Lots of those look 'em up ones put together by another Steve
  6. Welcome Diogo ! Post questions or answers whenever you have 'em ! And when you "find something good" (or even if you don't ) post a pic and give us the juicy details of the hunt !!!!
  7. Good decision to look there ! Keep going back , still lots stirred up offshore , that big tub was scraping and bouncing on the way in no doubt..πŸ₯Έ
  8. Karma karma karma ! And no , I'm not Boy George....πŸ™„
  9. Well , IF she was gonna hit on ya , finding the ring would have got ya there ! Sorry dude !🀠 Maybe we all should spray paint our detectors gold ? Naaah , probably wouldn't work..πŸ€” Next time (yeah , right !) when ya give the ring back , try proposing !πŸ˜‰
  10. Jeff Ditto on the sore knees. I've been detecting almost every day here at the fairgrounds since ground thaw a few weeks ago.. I just moved from the carnival area to camping. Still lots of tabs and caps , and zincs !! If there was only one thing I have learned here it's target IDs are not rules , but more like guidelines.... arrrrrrrr ! My first silver( in the carnival area )was a Nox 20 ID and def NOT a zinc ! Yesterday I found a RV door key ,,, ID 20. And yes ,,,,,,, it fits my door . Dig those tabs and zincs folks ! I'm even considering investigating some of those iron ID grunts......
  11. Welcome aboard HEBEGB ! What took you so long ? 🀠 I've been thinking we needed some heebeegeebees around here ! Post when you feel you can add something....and good luck out there !
  12. Welcome aboard unknwn ! Are you the Unknown Comic from the Gong Show ?πŸ€ͺ Either way , you just struck the mother lode of knowledge on hunting for things in the ground ! "Carry on my Wayward Son".....πŸ–– live long and prospect.
  13. Interesting test. I wouldn't trust a show to it yet. But still interesting. Time will tell what it's capable of...looks like it's here to stay for now .
  14. Jamie Buying a detector locally in Maine ? Not unless you live in S Portland around here ! Anything in Bangor? FedX will deliver a beat up box anywhere .... Yer 'bout half way there in Bucksport ! From me anyway. I know a keyboard player from Verona . And another (can play anything ) lives on Sandy Point (Love the new bridge to Verona !) and The Alamo was in regular rotation on my bookings calendar . Is the haunted gravestone still there ?😳
  15. Plastic is really cheap. Coils are not. Include the cover and let us decide if we use it........πŸ€”

  18. Welcome aboard Carol ! Now that our fearless leader has found a manual for ya ... Check out some of his other work
  19. I saw it was in Waite but Calais was on the the map I posted. Close enough for uptah camp. All we usually get from the sky is pollution from west of us (It'a ALL west of us πŸ™„) Jamie , you headed downeast ?? I'm imagining that there were a lot of locals buying detectors last week ! Maybe start a rental biz ? Where are you now ? I'm in the Brunswick area....
  20. πŸ–– Thanks for visiting find !
  21. I just checked this out ,, It's in Calais. That's right on the coast where it meets Canada. It's bare there. No snow. There is also a lot of people , including a U of Maine campus just down the road in Machias.. They'll all be all over it ! I have an older cousin that lives there but is traveling IIRC. 4-5 hour drive for me. , being with mom every day is worth more than $25k to me and I'd have a very small chance of finding anything anyway... The locals will have seen it or know somebody that can give a pointy finger ! I wish them all luck. OH AYUH ! Too cool ! Missed me by THAT much !😏 Sorry 'bout that Chief !
  22. Good snag Rob ! Wow Doc , I hope you didn't find any of those bum ones !
  23. Eight pieces of eight in the same hole !! You're good ! πŸ€©πŸ‘
  24. That's different πŸ‘ ! Your research was interesting. 🧐 Are you going to put it back in use again ?
