Western Frontier Relic Road Trip With Tomca
Tom Slick replied to Cal_Cobra's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Great finds Brian! I also think your find is part of a Chinese lock. PS. Tom sent me a map of your hunt sites so I should be seeing you out there shortly. Thanks again Tom. Tom -
Great finds. Congrats on your first Barber!

The Funeral Of The Sampson T-handle
Tom Slick replied to phrunt's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
It's sad to hear that the quality isn't what it used to be. I've had mine for about 8 years plus or minus a couple and it has dug 1000's of holes and pried just as many rocks in rock hard Arizona dirt. I've had to sharpen it a few times but I'd have to say its been one of my top detecting tools in 45 years of detecting. I hope to hear of a good replacement in case I ever need one, but I'm thinking mine might out last me.. -
Find Of The Year Or Find Of A Lifetime?
Tom Slick replied to relic ray's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
V Nickel for sure. Half cents didn't have a star directly above the head like the V Nickel and yours above have. -
I've dug those things for years. First few years (82-83) they were still in decent condition. Now that I'm older, I don't waste my time on them. Any I accidently find now go in the trash. These are some I dug in the past few years. I gallon jug full and another 2 gallon jug with about 3"s in the bottom. The coil is for size reference.

Deus Or Orx For General Coin & Jewelry Hunting?
Tom Slick replied to TexHunter's topic in XP Metal Detectors
Wow, I almost told you the Nox 800 is a better coin and jewelry detector. Glad I didn't. 😁 -
Deus Or Orx For General Coin & Jewelry Hunting?
Tom Slick replied to TexHunter's topic in XP Metal Detectors
Having both, I have to agree with the comments above. The ORX is a great detector but better suited to hunting more relic type sites including old home sites and house teardowns. The Deus has so many more audio features or adjustments that it make the Deus a better park, and school detector. I bought the ORX first and then decided that it, being as good as it is, the Deus with the added audio features would be that much better. I still have them both but the Deus is the detector I put to work. -
Quick Heat Wave Spanish Trail Hunt :)-d
Tom Slick replied to Cal_Cobra's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Brian - Great finds and love the video. I've finally hacked into you car's GPS so expect to see me at some of your other back pocket sites. You heading to the usual Labor Day Spot? If so, we'll see you there. Tom -
Ne Nevada 1st Time Ghost Town Detecting (long)
Tom Slick replied to GB_Amateur's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Both my Wife and my sister have traveled with me to past Monte's W.T.H.O's. My sister had asked me for some of my Ghost Town found items and yesterday she presented me with a shadow box full of items found on these past outings. Now to figure out where to hang it. I'm thinking my gold mining / detecting themed office will be just the place. Just thought I'd share. -
Ne Nevada 1st Time Ghost Town Detecting (long)
Tom Slick replied to GB_Amateur's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
GB - Great writeup! I had a great time also as always on the W.T.H.O. Gregg did a great job as President and maybe Monte the CEO can make it next time. Tom from Arizona AKA Tom Slick -
Picked Up The 11x13, X-35 Coil To Play With
Tom Slick replied to Tometusns's topic in XP Metal Detectors
I wasn't able to achieve any more depth with the 13" coil in my AZ dirt although it did cover more ground. I eventually sold it due to the weight. Makes the Deus very nose heavy. Hopefully you see a depth difference in your sites. Try the Nox with a lower recovery speed for those deeper coins. I pretty much run my Nox at 4 - 5 unless I'm hunting iron infested ghost town sites and then I'll speed it up. -
Your Coraline Skeleton Key is available at Walmart. They use them as pendants, keychains etc. Fun Find.

Any Word On Shipment Of Coiltek 10 X 5 Coils?

Same here. Padded plastic bag. No issues with mine. -
I Got My Equinox 10" Elliptical Coil
Tom Slick replied to Rick N. MI's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
I received mine also. No chance to try it yet but my guess is that it won't come off for my my sites. The Anfibio Multi is another great detector but after getting the Nox 800 I sold the Anfibio as for me, the Nox just did everything better. -
Any Word On Shipment Of Coiltek 10 X 5 Coils?
Tom Slick replied to relicmeister's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Just received an email that my 5x10" coil has shipped. I should have it by this weekend. Yay! -
So last week I'm watching Freddy Dodge's Gold Mining show and he calls his friend, a "nugget detecting Expert" to come check out a claim to see if there is any large gold to be found. She takes out her Garrett Apex and proceeds to find close to a 1/4 oz nugget. That's it, I'm selling all my other detectors and getting an Apex.🤣

Here’s My Solution To The Equinox Balance Issue
Tom Slick replied to NCtoad's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Here's mine. Snap on what ever size socket you want. The socket pictured weighs 16 oz. I don't use it as I like the way my "S" rod mod. swings. -
Wow "Not fully released quite yet" although the dealers have been receiving, selling, and shipping them to customers.
