Good question J-E. I'm not versed on such matters but I love their SNAKE COIL that I have used extensively in the past on the A/T GOLD and Max.Also have the ATTACK COIL but oddly enough have never used it.

Howdy back and welcome to the forum.Man you are poking around all of the rite places gold and relic detecting?

Welcome to the forum.The Nox 900 is a great machine and is currently on sale at a $150.00 savings best of luck.

Wonderfull story and way to go Louis that's a good recovery.Best of luck on the return.

Impressive collection thanks for sharing.

Found this copper culture point some years back. Estimated to be around 4,000 to 6,000 years old. Not native to Massachusetts. Likely traded in from Great Lakes. I remember pulling it out of the hole along with a handful of dirt and thinking it was just a stone point, I set it aside. I kept rescanning the hole looking for that screamer of a signal that had mysteriously disappeared. 😁

You guys are killing me with these early metallic points! That one goes beyond words that are allowed for description on this site. Finding a copper culture point has been a pipe dream of mine since I was a teenager and thanks for posting it.

In the US, you can only go back so far, but sometimes you can get lucky. I'm going to only post the things that were lost here close to their time period. I'm not counting what I think is a small roman coin I found that was probably brought back here by a soldier and lost in the late 1940's or so. So here is the oldest period coin I found. It has a date range from 1516-1520 and was probably lost around the mid to late 1600's.

The Native American conical Kettle point was most likely lost on May 26th, 1637 during a one day battle. It is from a tribe that was not living in the area that it was found in, but was fighting there that day. We even estimated the time lost to be around noon time, given the descriptions that were written about the battle and their movements.

That point is amazing!

What did you find there Alexnov?

Fun stuff JCR.Ya gotta love those mint marks from the big N.O. they're not all that easy to come by.

Great hunt SwiftSwoard! Very nice collection of tableware and congrats on the walking Liberty and other silver pieces.That Chief Pontiac piece would be my favorite also like the porcelain or milk glass piece with the booties or moccasins?Just subscribed to your channel.

That's a very nice find with a great story too JCR.Good photos and most of all the collection of family memorabilia.Thanks for sharing.

I will never forget that day I was twelve and was at my Grandparrents home with my family.We were all watching the Ed Sullivan show when the phone rang.Turns out that it was my older brother calling from Crescent City California.He was a patrolman for the local police department and called to let us know about the imminent tidal wave.The following weekend we all drove up there from Ukiah to see the massive destruction first hand.

Yeah I just got the 10x5. I usually keep the 11 on because sometimes I like to move out of the iron and hunt the outskirts of the house sites where civil war camps often were. The 10x5 might be a good compromise between separation and depth. I know the stock 11 punches down deep on bullets and buttons. When I hit and iron patch I’ll turn back the sensitivity a bit and run the swing speed higher. 

That's absolutely correct.

In my experience the stock 11 coil is really tough to use in heavy trash and especially heavy iron and nail infested sites.It reminds me a lot of my ex Itallian girlfriend after three bottles of vino very irritable and never shuts up.The 6"round works very well with far less falsing and superior separation.I also feel that the Coiltek 10x5 is a very good option in the so called machine gun iron with a little more depth than the 6" round and better coverage.personally I recomend having both.

The evidence is in....Your permission system sure does work !  You have become one of the locals.

Everything found has a story to tell , even the pulltabs ........   

Not too mention all of those pesky empty spinach cans Up Ta Camp.🤮

Super copper trade piece Bob. Or who knows possibly an ancient Indian made artifact that predates the other finds by many years?Gotta love that relic program! It's been pretty much exclusive for me the last few months. I use it until I get plumb worn out or when it's not practical then I switch over too fast and cruise along.

That's a very handsome silver coin....Well done.

Very nice! I've been a button fanatic for around five decades now and I am facinated by clipper ships too boot.Therefore I'm very envious of your great button congrats.

Fantastic finds with beautiful patinas! It's almost like you got on a time machine and took a trip back to the middle 1960's.

Good dig JCR....That site you are working looks pretty far from being played out.

Dang that's a dandy! Imagine the stories that one could tell.

Enjoyed your video.No silly or pretentious B S or having to listen to some big blow hard.Just good old school detecting.

Yeah, little specimen piece.

My son is 28, he actually knows more on local gold rush history than me. We used to detect together all the time, but he lives 50 miles away , and is hooked on steelhead fishin too, so its not very often now.

Fantastic relics and artifacts! I laughed out loud when you mentioned that your son was hooked on the steelfish. I resemble that remark and spent twenty plus years as a professional steelhead bum.i was able to fish all over Northern California and Oregon and Vancouver Island. Even though that pretty much put my detecting on the back burner I took advantage and located numerous Native American Artifacts and sites, antique bottles, and detecting sites.Again excellent finds and thanks for sharing.

Relic program with tweaks is hotter than a pistol.Personally I have had better success with it than any other and that includes a wide open goldfield program.Very consistent array of impressive finds as usual.

You Da MAN!😎
