Maybe we can talk TTT2866 into having a detecting party ? 😜arrrrrrrrr ! How 'bout it triple T ? I'd even pay LOL That is one NICE lookin' hand full of deposits though . The pic sure would make a great advert for your guide school ! 🖖

🤯 IMPRESSIVE ! you should give lessons or sumpin' ! 😎

I like the looks of that beach ! The rocks discourage many but that is a good thing.

Sounds worth trying .🥸

And before I opened the door it powered down ! 🙄 So power bricked the suckah ! It's on charge now .Park2 , recovery 6 . Clad: 2-quarters , 3 dimes , 3 zincolns . 1 copper memorial 1966 and a Canadian Maple Leaf Cent 1964. , An ornate (Celtic Knot esque )button or possibly a snap cap by the track fence and a tiny little flat /round thing with some printing on it , slightly resembling the butt end of a bullet but might be too small for a 22. I know my pic wouldn't help with ID or I'd post one , putting it in the interesting junk jar. One of the dimes was green but no cigar .😩 Only 2 pieces of junk . Oh , also found an electric conduit , I assume the copper was the 19 ID. (on an 800) Still a LOT of frozen ground but I found a soft hotspot using my shovel as a walking stick on my walk back to the rig . The dimes and pennies came from there and I'll be going back on ? depending on weather. Winter has a habit of coming back with an attitude after a thaw like this , so ? 🥸 However ,,,, I just heard the weather report ,that big NEer is down to 1" now.... .👍 The hotspot is less than a one minute walk from my door 🤗

I'm on my way out now. The thaw calls me. Massive Noreaster to 6-10" then 3-6" yesterday and today 1-2" , by the time it gets here it will be a possibility of snow showers , dusting to 1" LOL OR back to the Noreaster ! They don't know , the computers tell them ! AI my A. They say it will teach itself , what could possibly go wrong ? On that note , never say never.. What was that Thaw.? OK , I just turned on the detector I'll be right out !

Alrighty then..... I did a swing after the big skiing event. I took note of where groups of people were standing around the track fence and of course the bleachers . Ground still freezing up at night but I found one spot near the track with a south facing slope that had zero ice ! It might even get better today ? Mid winter thaw ending for a bit tomorrow ..... 5 targets that I could get to. A double clad quarter drop and also a couple copper pennies trying for dimes ! But target #3 was a ring !😜 of bling.😵 but it WAS yellow ! hmmm so was that 925 ring last fall at the festival CG hunt ? 🤔 Except that one thawed spot , I only dug what the pinpointer could find and had to turn it down a couple of notches in sensitivity so 2" max. or no dig. Under the bleachers was a skunk , glazed over with ice and didn't need to detect , visual only. Much was still frozen but I live here . Just as close but a little less productive than 350s fields .....😉

I have experience with systems that have a turn on/off sequence .(on and off usually being opposite) (Tweeter drivers can get expensive ....don't ask me how I know that.) But individual units ? I don't recall any with such restrictions except don't hot patch a condenser mic ! Maybe similar transient issue in a PI coil w/chip ? BUT After Geotech's response above , due to my inexperience under a detector's hood I would defer to him.... and the disclaimer. 👍

SO , it will show where gold is located by indicating areas in blue . WOW , So easy to learn , any newb could do it ! In the pic it's showing blue areas on the water too 🧐 so I can confirm in my color expert opinion it is a true blue detector. ( I studied the chart in the paint department at Lowes) Settings used seems critical however . I wonder if their design engineer can tell me what settings they used in photoshop or paint to "tune it in " ? Probably be on the first page of the manual....🤩 I see others calling dibs on those detectors Erik. Let me be the first of offer $ . They ought to be worth at least $20 , which should cover the cost of that wonder detector's parts.

Nice country , detector working , true definition of happy days ! .🖖 Live long and prospect.

Of course she does ! You're a musician 😎 so she's used to it ! ( band wives and GFs usually sit out by me during the shows...I've heard the secret words.)😳

Welcome aboard grumpy ! The brothers of the GPX crew here have all the info you seek.. You'll get up to speed on the 5000 , no problemo. Phrunt linked a good clue vid above . "You have questions , we have answers. " was the Radio Shack motto but I could easily ask questions they had no clue on and they sure sold crap detectors 🙄 and yes , it was my first one ! 🤩 a Discovery 2 .discontinued ~50 years ago . with good reason. I still have it and it goes beep , but nothing else works except the on/off switch. Real answers from real experts here real free clues included.🥸. My best friend is a grumpy too. He has 6 yo twin grandkids ,and they just figured out why they've been calling him grumpy 🤔 ...LOL

George Waldo ? Naaaaah , bet you can't find him either ! 😜 What settings were you using ? Try adjusting your recovery speed # ...... I did spot some broken old coins , but I think you should throw them back and let 'em grow up into something spendable ! 🥸 ALSO , Ya might be in trouble if a game warden spots them shorts ! They're called Cut Pistareenes huh ? But not one was bleeding ! ,,,and were you looking in a latrine ? Is that a good spot to look for them pisston thingies ? Thx for the pointy finger , I'll check there later. Too bad you skunked on this one , better luck next hunt . I hope you find a fully grown one next time !

sohN I suppose you're right . My clad quarter is worth 25 of those zincolns , maybe 30 ? And I only had to dig a few holes into a giant dirtcicle too ! Thx for pointing that out. I feel better now. The half pull tab and foil ball is nothing compared to your junk though . 🤗!

O TAY ! 11 silvers and a gold topper ! Another 5# of coins , (those must really be adding up !) You didn't make me look so bad today though. The others beat you to it this time ! 😏 And somehow I got a clad quarter, a pull tab. And a ball of foil that was actually a nickel ! Until I scraped down to it and found the foil..

Another nice sandbox hunt !👍 🥸 I think I saw a pocket knife on the right side of the junk pic ?

Nice finds post , I'm out of Oh My's so I'll just stare and drool ! 😳

🤯 I'm humbled by the finds pics this morning. Now I'm gonna take my frozen 2006 quarter and go sit on a snow pile and cry ! 😩 NICE SHOW , tha lucky bunchaya ! 👍🤩 Now get back out there and work on what you're gonna do for ENCORE ! I'm waitin' on the sun.....but I'm lucky too, I could be holding an icicle .🥶

Good luck Toad ! Hope the rain holds off till you give it a good going over. OOOie !🥸 I bet there was a diving float platform and keep an eye out for overhanging rope swing branches.

Impressive ! weather and finds. You have found some good ground to hunt by the looks of those pics !

Found 'em ! 🥸

Nice one George ! 1818 1848 ? well 1800s ! 👍 Worth a big smile all the way home any day. Half penny pics plz.

Quite common ? Do you mean like pull tabs ??? arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh yer killin' me up here ! ! 😯 That's a NICE one though !

George If I come visit , will you rub my head for luck ?????

Good question ! Doing your homework in advance is good ju ju. Things can get very sticky for those unprepared .😵😩 (We might be related ? My shoulder is sore too ! )
