  1. Aureous ,,,Yaaaaaaa baby ! Ridge ,,,Classic , love it ! And about Dig it's fishk ,,,, I know for a fact some can catch fish like that ! I saw it in a movie once........๐Ÿ˜ฎ
  2. ๐Ÿ™ƒ It's better if you stand on your head while reading my posts sometimes !
  3. They shoulda run him thru and hung 'im inna cage ta let the sun bleach 'is bones like a pirate that he is . He'd solve who the mine title came from and make a AWESOME No Trespassing sign at the same time ! ๐Ÿ˜ . arrrrrrrrr
  4. Those will Attenuate (cut back) frequencies below the 200Hz cut off point. Depending on the cut off slope (probably 3dB per octave?) so even if it was at the same level ,,,not too much closer to the 200 and the lower Hz more. Leave 'em in the cart and try less bass heavy phones like suggested ^ which may or may not be different in your favor... The Quincy Jones signature AKGs I think 701's ? are studio flat I have a set somewhere. I'll do a test with my Nox to see if it would help ? ya . Not sure what sound profile your ears prefer so might be a personal test required... Think foamy ear cushions vs the tightly sealing ones . A little battery powered eq (like a GTR stomper) probably wouldn't get you much closer either unless you can strap some parametrics and a generator in there somewhere ! Sorry it wasn't so simple man , I feel yer pain. OSM sez (Old Sound Man) When in doubt hook 'er up ! it might blow , but then y'll know....skuh kuh kuh kuh Just kidding. On a better note , some detectors can adjust the volume level of the tone segments (nox +? )
  5. Sounds like you got your learner's permit aced Toad ! GO Go Go
  6. Yeah , he even showed you where he parked ! ๐Ÿ˜‡ Seems to do alright ,,,he got that car with rings ! I worked Hampton and Salisbury and most of the Boston circuit clubs back in the biz too. Things have changed a lot since then I guess probably would not recognize anything except for the beaches themselves . If the area around OOB is any indicator . Could find 'em all by water though but me Cap traded the Whaler for a retro canned ham camper ! Can't fish in THAT ! And then he moved to Virginia ,James river on the bay..... Now jonesing for another Montauk ! with a ski tower , for TUNA ! That's me Cap ! From Southport Isl . There be pirates there ! Anyway..... Never explored much below the border by sea , you must know a lot of little hard to find beaches having a boat down there ! (you seem to know some up here too) Think my cuz might still have a little aluminum outboard ( sears?) , not sure how many lifejackets ????๐Ÿ˜‰ Maybe I should pick up a survival suit before asking ...little boats are nice but they belong on lakes don't they ? Definitely NOT outside ! Dick's in S Portland has some MineLab 800s+540s but that's it , no pointers , scoops or anything. Cabella's is supposed to have some prospecting accessories too . The rest of the places I've found just have the ~$100 units on the shelf.. My main reason to go to Hampton is Seacoast Coin ,I'd rather buy someplace local than Amz, Just found the website thx for the name. Not much to pick from detectorwise uptah camp in the Pine Tree. arrrrrrrr
  7. Popham is a nice beach but the rangers are hard to find for a pass.. Like the "burg" ,, good history at Popham Colony and fishin' fer Stripers by the fort ! The ranger at Reid much easier to find ! I worked many nights at The Meadowbrook on the circle in Pmouth in 80s +90s ! Probably long gone by now ? Crossfire , Crybaby , Magic some of the bands .. My cousin lives on the Eliot side of the TPK now . Worked at the doesn't always float boat yard . Retired. Trying to get him hooked on detecting .. And I want to check out the detector store in Hampton ( possibly the reason for less finds there now ,,,or maybe this guy> ?) +try to spot the NH Beach YT guy , he moved to a block from the beach now so out there a lot ! I'd like to search that beach to see if he ever misses a ring ? LOL (when it gets a little warmer like wednesday did). BUT , Long day trips are few with a 98 YO mom to keep happy. OOB typically my southern limit but the grass is always greener on the other side ! Putting it off as long as possible but gotta go out and shovel the latest mess ~6" here, (7* atm. arrrrrrgh)......๐Ÿ˜‹
  8. Time to make like a hockey team and skate the puck outta there .............?
  9. Yeah , that's my story too ..... Nobody can prove I didn't ! So it must therefore be true. I grew up next to train tracks , probably could hobo a ride and tuck and roll when it goes by the beach ! Gotta beef up the case for the detector first.....
  10. How close to Hampton are you ? I have a cousin in Kittery
  11. I've sometimes wondered if those terms were created by the chamber of commerce LOL "There are no rules , it's more like guidelines" The Lobbie boats are the real deciders out there ! Kennebec and Penobscott rivers are the natural dividers , "close enough for gov work" arrrrr That beach is just north of the Kennebec ,,but I live south of it closer to Beans.
  12. Is there an Amtrack station near that beach ???? I know, I can't imagine digging that many holes in a day ! Maybe I don't want a GPX ! You must have a young guy inside you , possibly an alien or a robot. Klaatu , Nicto Baradek !
  13. Resting in peace undah that tree or rock down yondah chummy ! Sly ol' Jed didn't put that location down in the book I bet ! And no geologist report has the stash location charted. hmmmmmmmm, and were there 4 stash piles as per the original agreement ????? And you asked a question about detectors finding large gold very deep..LOL I am somewhat telepathic , I can tell you what you're thinking . If you tell me enough times... Sure , I'll come help ya look , but can ya wait till my mom passes ? She's the only reason I'm up here hanging in this icicle land beyond september ( I'm slowly being covered in white again as I type this) she's 98 but still speaking what's left of her mind and firing the staff at the home on a daily basis usually for stealing her stuff ,,,,that she hides so they don't steal it and then can't find it herself..... so might outlive ME. I guess !๐Ÿ˜œ What is winter like up there ? can ya still push a shovel in the ground ? Like that matters when you have an excavator ! I have a few ideas about site security though ,,,ya knowww a mine site is a dangerous place if ya don't know where to step....and have I got campfire tales about how to keep people away from the wiring. Did you know lots of times they have electricity in them ? May I have my next installment now ?
  14. There ya go makin' me look bad ! again..... I don't know how I can take this beating any longer , "serenity now" !๐Ÿ™„ Everybody gets a GPX on their 21st birthday,,,,it should be a rule ! (And a bucket truck...)
  15. Thank ya , thank ya very much , I thank ya and Priscilla thanks ya too... Now the jinx is broken I'll hit the OOB bet it was crowded too .(Old Orchard Beach) Billions of square feet to cover there ! Decipherin' my accent writing is a hunt in itself I guess.๐Ÿคจ You guys ,don't be pickin' on Badger fer not knowin' zackly what I wuz sayin'. Them fella's in New Hampstah ain't used ta us gull drool downta the coast , they only got 15 miles of it dontchyaknowww ! (and BTW , it's almost all beach !) The dime was probably there way before this trip , just didn't cover that exact spot yet is all ! I'm convinced there could be a few more, the beach is a mile long>>>>>>>>>>>>>and timing the negative tides when the park is open AND not crowded Gotta go by the rules or NO DETECTING !!!!!! It's a State Park. Makes days like this a rare treat. BUT they don't give out very many passes , so It's usually ALL MINE ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR the recovery 3 and inching along probably didn't hurt either. The sand doesn't get stripped or filled in too much though for some reason ? Between the mouths of two rivers , one of which keeps having some big things called DDG 1000 go by. https://www.navy.mil/Resources/Fact-Files/Display-FactFiles/Article/2391800/destroyers-ddg-1000/ (I sometimes wonder what might have been lost overboard as they go by ???)๐Ÿค” Yup the kids are fun ,,,, sometimes , mom apologized for the kid's interest ! No Problemo lady . I'll need to apologize to her when she hears "ALL I want for christmas is a GPX 6000" It's been 12 years since my last fix on the pirate ship ......kinda missed it . What can I say ? YW MineLab THAT will be a detector sale some day ! I knew that when she said "treasure" !! yup yup. Plow guy is here ! I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE ! Bazeenia!
  16. Badger : "Kinda hard to follow the story but sounds like you got a Half Dime. Good work. No pics?" I was having a hard time following that kid ! Well I can't tell if it's the top half or the bottom half but pretty sure it's a dime ..๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Not pic post capable yet , (would need to lug the computer with me ATM) ,,,priorities but I have a plannnnnn , bwa ha ha ha ! Step 1 Replace the flip phone........๐Ÿ˜‹
  17. Has anybody been counting how many OZs so far ? Must be close to my 9999 guess by now ๐Ÿคฉ
  18. Welcome out from the dark side. You have just become a Jedi Poster , may the farce be with you๐Ÿ––
  19. Sons Of The Beach Season 3 Southern storm in town and the temps hit the 60s on the coast yesterday.I So I spent the day watching the white stuff melt......... orrrrrrrr NOT ! The surf was UP big time and the tide was LOW . 11" coil Beach 2 this run and recovery speed 3 . The blood red Roger rules, No target gets out alive . 30 yards of flat below the 1st drop to the waterline , well , sorta. Half of it was in the surf wash and it was sudsin' up like the blizzard l couple of weeks back. No boots again so playing tag with the wash made it hard to get close to that sweet spot out in the wash zone but of course I tried ,,,and got a couple of wet socks before it was ... BEEP over,, , a 30 . About 10 scoops , the hole was sloppy wet and caving in as quick as I could pull the scoops out completely under a couple times when the wash won but ,,finally out of the hole . A few distributin' kicks and a quick swing and bang , oh yeah . Opening bid a qwaatah ! Left the fully charged pointer in the holster. Spiral out steady as she goes mister low and slowwwww ignoring the foam a foot deep and my coil looked like a half dissolved marshmallow and so did my wet boots but was thinking those wool socks were doing their stuff and my soggy tootsies were actually warm annnnnd another BBweep on the second rev. loud and shallow maybe one scoop on this one? but LOOKOUT RUNNNN ! It was underwater and so was my foot skuh kuh kuh kuh kuh , I didn't make it ! . Only 6 scoops this time and in the sand was , is that arrrING ? poke poke NO a broken off edge of a Stinkin' Zincoln , OH My Goshk ! Well , some of the rest of it was just below ... one foot extra wet now (c'mon woolies!) spiral spiral BIP ? wuzzabip ? It's a 6 !!! Ooh huh huh huh huh....scoop ,and GOT it ! kick swing drag my foot across again hit built in pinpoint and ,,,,it's,,,,,gone? OK , fire up the profind bzzzzzzzzzz grab the tip with the sand poke poke it's a clip off a wire trap .awwwwwww Looks like the work of the KRAKEN !๐Ÿ˜ณ Spiral spiral ,,,,,spirallll ,,,,,, nuts' head for the rocks , oooo a nice cut from the wash next to the ledge ! Yup yup ! and 10 steps to another beep ! a high one ! 24 , di...hmmm scoop only go 3 inches before hit ledge. only one tool left and the plastic spoon was clearing the rest of the sand easily. the profind sez there ! it looks like another ring....it's silver ! ,,It'sssssstuck in a crack in the ledge just like a nuggie ! and I can't get it oOUT.arrrrrrrgh , gotta go back to the car lot to see if I have a screwdriver of the straighr slot variety on the trunk....but ....I can't leave an open hole arrrrrrrrrrrrr ! Fill it in. pick up everything and back up the hilllllll. Found that old bent driver in mom's tool kit ! and shlepped everything back down to the "scene of the beep" RATS kids , playing in the foam right , over my preciousssssss!.ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ! But they're NOT digging ! Guess I COULD use a water break ..Never mind ! Those kids sure do move fast ! back to work Mr Lazy . Scoop , spoon spoon spoon , glove glove it's still there ! Duh , kids didn't have a screwdriver ! careful nowwwww, scrape scrape ,still stuck hard, well , it's a really old screwdriver so jam it in that ledge pops ! PRY .it got a little looser ,,,pry on the other side LOOSER , , dang not a ring and looooooser. It's OUT , a dime worn half thickness and totally smooth on one side and not much left on the other , but it's NOT CLAD !!!!!!!!!!! Noxie's first silver treasarrrrrrr found and in the pouch ! with a clad qwaaatah and a two piece zinc thingy . A nothing hour of swinging later except for an incredible surf show just a quick run away ! That's when it happened , real treasure ! One of the kids in the foam was near me and I told her mommy that she "couldn't buy that much fun at the toy store !" and she agreed , but the little girl was looking at the nox and scoop . Yup , "What are those things ?" so I began to explain .."Are you looking for TREASURE Mister ???" ๐Ÿค— " I sure am !" ,, "CAN I HELP ? "Well , OK for a little while IF mom says you can... "Can I can I can I ? " mom caves "You can be my wave lookout . Tell me when a wave is coming " as I took off the headphones so she could hear the detector... .. And we swung , and swung , and the threshold dipped out. "OH , is that treasure?" "I hope so ,,HERE COMES A WAVE !". I stepped on the scoop and ran ! like my foot wasn't already soaked ... so we waited ,,,and then she ran out and got ,,,the , scoop !!! ahhhhhhhhhh ! NOOOOOOO ! skuh kuh kuh kuh kuh I tried to keep my eye on the spot. but by the time the wash was over it was gone........ but the nox still worked and it was back under the scoop 5 times as quick as I could pull 'em out. and " RUN WAVE " we made it this time and the scoop was still in the hole too ! But the 5 scoops and the hole were right there ,,,,,,gone ! But the scoop wasn't , and then another wave was back , the tide was coming back in ! But my crew went out and happily brought it back to shore for me. Now d id I mention it's still Februrary ? ,,,and the sea temp is 35* ? Mom wanted to go get a heavier coat out of the car so I told me crew she probably should go with mom so's she wouldn't worry 'bout the Kraken and stuff. Headphones back on and of course I pulled a couple of pull rings (also silver ring colored) and a rusty Corona cap in short order. and me crew comes running back ,,"Did you find anything?" "unh huh " ,, "what WAS IT ???" and I showed her the contents of the pouch which included the coins , the zincoln was the object that got the most questions so I decided to share the booty with me crew and gave her the zinc pieces to show her friends and then my treasure and her mom headed to the lot with this ol' Son Of The Beach ,,,with a "half dime" in the poke !! Hey , does that count ? .
  20. I'm sure it will give you good service whatever you do with it , except lose it......๐Ÿ˜ฎ Were the volunteer military greeters there when you came through ? Bangah is a city but it ain't the big city . Up country where hunters are common AND a steady stream of returning troops. Probably many thousand such items before your passage. I was in a band up there 'bout that time.........
