  1. My friend has one of those for his garden that he brings sometimes and now I use a bigger version. (link below) The notched tip is also sharpened. (The Hori is much lighter on the "Batman Accessory" belt though . But mine is easier to find...) ๐Ÿ™ƒ GREAT for most lawns , but dry hard clay or rocky soil , not so much. I love it for digging under roots too ! Zero (almost) trace dig holes for targets ~6"/15cm or less on manicured lawn permissions. I use it to make a slit in the turf that I spread apart and excavate with a small plastic trowel onto a piece of heavy plastic . The knife can be used to dig as well. Yes there is pinpointing involved๐Ÿฅธ Easy to dump it all back in the hole by folding the plastic in half push the slit back together. Maybe pack it down with my boot . I have trouble finding where I dug most of the time.๐Ÿง Fiskars https://www.homedepot.com/p/Fiskars-14-in-Big-Grip-Garden-Knife-70796935J/202681617
  2. Welcome aboard poco ! You already struck a rich vein when you chose this forum to join๐Ÿ˜
  3. Outback Yank Hmmmmm , sounds like a name someone might adopt after moving there.......... Well , good luck on the hunt no matter how long you stay. Hope ya can post a pic that would make Gerry's jaw hurt just lookin' at it !
  4. C'mon aboard Jeff ! Do you have a primary target or looking for anything the detector finds ?
  5. O. M. G. THAT'S a Cut !๐Ÿ˜ฎ (Kinda looks like the homeowners down the beach are probably getting nervous ....)
  6. Nice little piece of engineering. ๐Ÿ‘ I'll chance a prediction.... ๐Ÿค” That set of diamond earrings it catches will buy you a new Equinox 1000....๐Ÿคฉ
  7. I've used them all except for the lavender . Including the net suits . The permethrin dip is awesome. They all work , sort of. Repel40 is my go to , but I have a bottle of the tick spray too , Like I said I use them all,,, Anything is better than nothing in bug war. I swell up like crazy with insect bites. Ticks , not so much but have a tick spoon for easy removal (of the bigger ones),,,agree the tiny deer ticks are the worst , and they are the ones carrying Lyme.... The DEET will definitely melt plastic , I remember the Estwing hammer handles that got slick when I was doing construction back in the 90s. I also found out the hard way it will dissolve the rubber lining in my Grunden$ rain gear ! I wore it over a shirt and pants that was sprayed with deet a few hours earlier , so not just the liquid...๐Ÿ˜ข You have been warned....arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh ! .. I've also found the lack of ticks at the beaches a nice bonus !
  8. If a picture really is worth a thousand words,,,,that one must be ten thousand words , minimum !๐Ÿ‘
  9. So , you're saying a typical day out prospecting ! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Lucky calf too , you saved it .....๐Ÿค•
  10. You do have a good point , that good stuff probably weighed too much...๐Ÿค”
  11. Good info so far ^^ Weight was an issue for my abused old elbows ! I chose a smaller one (T-Rex ) stainless and just put on an old wooden D handle from a grain shovel (which was too big for snow!) As mentioned , the carbon fiber handles are a great choice if you have the $. I'm saving for an upgrade..... There are short clamp on handles that make pulling a straight shaft UP easier ! Get one of them if you go straight any type handles . Slippery when wet. Some people add a pool noodle to keep 'er afloat when wading in above waist water.. this works for the detector too.... Don't forget the sun screen. Happy digging, life's a beach !

  13. Yup yup, Southern NH , I'm in Southern Maine. Explains the resemblance of our woods ! It's gonna freeze up again way too soon , git 'er done and good luck !
  14. A Straight Jacket buckle ? Isn't THAT an interesting find ! Bet nobody has a collection !๐Ÿ˜‰ "well I'm allright now , I learned my lesson well, you can't please everyone , so you better please yourself" Old Ricky Nelson song , but it applies to your posts now....Garden Party IIRC if you want to hear it.
