  1. Greetings Forum members. I just joined and am hoping for a rewarding experience being a part of this Forum. I am in North Carolina, near Fayetteville. I recently moved here with my wife and dog---all our children and grandchildren are not close by---from Virginia where I spent many many years detecting with a lot of success. I am retired, both from the US Army and from the US Department of State. I am also a biblical archaeologist and spent a number of years on a dig in Jordan uncovering the biblical city of Sodom. I have a wide range of experiences and a wide range of interests. So far I have not found much opportunity to detect in this area. If anyone is in or near the Fayetteville area and would like to help an old detectorist get into the game around here, please get in touch. And no, I am not, not, looking to snake someone's honey hole. I love to detect and enjoy it a lot more when getting out with a partner, preferably a buddy. Anyway, that is pretty much about me.
  2. Hello I'm new here and have been a rock hound for decades. That's why I'm here, would like to learn what these beauties are called. I have hundreds of rocks, big and small, from all over Ontario, Canada. My biggest regret about not being familiar with what types of rocks I choose to drag home is a find on a job site in northern BC, my hubby ran over a bland looking rock in a dozer, I saw light blue glass! Well, I jumped out of my rock truck and grabbed the two biggest pieces of this rock, which equaled about 10 lb. Long story short; I moved to Ontario a year later, was in a rock shop and discovered chalcedony. It turns out those two 5lb pieces of light blue glass are chalcedony. My biggest regret! Having learned my mistake, I now wish to learn what more interesting rocks are composed of. I'll be bookmarking any threads that identify rocks by picture. And, it will be interesting to see what stony gems others share.
  3. I recently moved to MN due to my job. The MD season will be much shorter here than in Florida, so I was hoping to make a connection with someone in the area. I'm located about 1/2 hour north of La Crosse right on the Mississippi River on the MN side. I mostly hunt turf and enjoy finding almost anything!
  4. A little about myself . I have been searching for 5 years . I tried to work on the search for native gold - but since there are few nuggets on our territory , I gave up this hunt for a while . This season I hunt more on the beach and search for ancient artifacts , sometimes I try to find meteorites . My favorite devices are CTX 3030 with a 17" inch sensor and Fisher F5 with 10/12" and 5/10" inch sensors from Detech SEF.... F5 is slightly modified. The devices are old , but they work great - complementing each other - they are used depending on the tasks , weather conditions and soil differences . I apologize for the poor translator .
  5. Thanks for the add .. Thought i was a member for last several years ..just not posted kept trying to refresh my account .. but anyways here now Cheers VKTEK gef12
  6. Hi Guys, Greetings to everyone from NSW in Australia. Looking forward to gaining great knowledge from everyone here. Thanks in advance.
  7. Just getting back into the sport…. Tesoro was my go to company, sorry to see they’re gone. Dusting off my Vaquero and getting out again. thank you Steve for this site.
  8. I have been lurking for a short time and I must admit I am impressed by the knowledge and civility of the majority of posters. Some sites seem to have purists that have little time for those that are new to the hobby or have questions. Like most of the newcomers, I am here to listen and to learn. I have been a diehard Whites fan and have exlusively use VLF (very low frequency) detectors and have never been introduced to the world of PI (pulse induction) machines. I purposely spell out the abbreviations for these two kinds of detectors for those who are unfamiliar with the terminology. I too will occasionally be stumped by terms dectorists throw around. We are her to learn and to enjoy the hobby. The above being said I have posted elsewhere whether I would be duplicating my machines if I purchase a Whites TDI SL when I already own a TDI BeachHunter?
  9. So new to detecting, I will no doubt ask some silly questions, but will search the forum for answers before posting. I would like to thank you in advance for any help I may find on the forum or from answers to any questions I post. Thanks Steve
  10. Just dropping a line to say hello. I've been around for the last fifteen years or so on some of the other forums. I don't know why I didn't join Steve's sooner, but I'm here now!
  11. Just got a Minelab, I always wanted a detector and finally pulled the trigger with this tax return. I am looking for a buddy and club in the Philadelphia Metro area. It is hard to find a place to detect in the city, it is pretty much against the law in all of Philadelphia.
  12. New member here from south mississippi. I’ve been detecting going on five years now. I just recently retired and spend most of my time hunting at the beach or local parks. Looking forward to learning from other members here and sharing stories and pictures of finds.
  13. Hi, i am new to this. Where do you find the manuel for the 3000
  14. Hi from North Essex, I have been detecting for about 5 years, I have a couple of nice permissions, even though I live on the coast I don't do a lot of beach detecting, as a rule I do a whole day detecting every two weeks. I hope to find something special one of these days and if I do I will keep everyone in the loop.. happy bleeping
  15. Haven't posted in a long time, I have been reading posts from time to time. I was seriously into metal detecting from 2000 until 2016, during that time I probably used every detector that was on the market. I took a 6 year break, and I am getting back into the hobby, only in a smaller way. I am going to try to limit myself to a couple machines. One thing that I have noticed lately, is there are a lot of good detectors just coming into the market, great time to buy a detector, only problem is, which one. I mainly hunt for coins and jewelry in small towns, with an occasional Civil War site. I have narrowed.y choices down to the Nox 900, or the Deus 1. I look forward to reading everyone's posts on what they are using and what they think about their weapon of choice.

  18. Hi there, My name is Rick, i am from Holland and i just bought my first metaaldetector. I bought an Equinox 800 and hoping to find lots of tips and tricks here to get me going.
  19. Hi all! Just found this place while looking for an answer to an issue with my machine. Glad I found ya'll this place is a wealth of information!!
  20. Hi, I've been visiting the forum for a while and I've decided to register and contribute what little I know... I dedicate to the search for gold on the beach, only beach; and I have about 6 years. Several VLFs have passed through my hands and I currently use an Equinox 800, a Legend (underwater) and I have just purchased an X-TERRA Pro. And it also works, a heavy "750" gold ring on the first day of use!!! 6.65 Gr. Low tide about 6 inches deep... That sound...mmm...very Equinox-like... I must have more than 2000h. from Equinox.
  21. Hi everyone, my name is Chris im 49 and I live in S.W. Oregon, in pocket gold country right in between the Goldrush towns of Jacksonville and Gold Hill. I am into Hunting, Fishing and Hunting for gold! Basically whatever allows me to wander! I have never really been a forum guy, just some after sundown internet time for info and entertainment but not much posting because of all the mess that always seems to go along with the forums. Iv’e been lurking here for a while and I haven’t seen any of that yet here so I joined up! Im not sure how active of a poster ill actually be but am going to give it a try, anyways just checking in with my first post to intoduce myself and say how much I have already enjoyed the great info here!
  22. Hey All, I joined this forum a couple of weeks ago when I posted about an issue I had with my Equinox 800, but I never made an official 'new member' post. I'm from Mississippi and began metal detecting around 2015. Lately, I mainly go detecting on my lunch break with a co-worker of mine. I started out detecting with the Garrett ACE 250, then moved up to the AT Pro, and then transitioned to the Equinox 800. I just recently purchased the Equinox 700, but I haven't had the chance to use it yet. I may get the Legend as well, but I'm not sure of that yet. I'll probably be selling my (repaired) Equinox 800 real soon (hopefully). I enjoy all types of metal detecting, not just relic or coin shooting. As long as I get to dig up some history, I'm happy. Well, like I said, I just wanted to make my official 'new member' post. See y'all around on the forums!
  23. Hi, I'm Dan, I live on the East Slope of the Sierras and detect for coins and gold. I enjoy the hobby and I am always on the lookout for techniques which will improve my game. I already see useful information on the forum and recognize the wisdom and experience of some of our members. Cheers!
  24. Just saying hi, I'm as new as you can get to this hobby, my wife agreed to dropping the gran on a equinox 800 2 days ago 😀☺️ hopefully I find for cool stuff as we travel the USA. We started full time in a RV about a year ago to see the country as we retired. Hope to get some valuable information from the forum. I've always wanted a detector and watched others use them from a distance. Now that I have one it's nothing like I thought lots to learn about the sounds etc .
  25. I just picked up my first detector. A minelab Equinox 800. I'm in the Long Term Visitors Area (LTVA) Quartzite AZ. Lots of Quartz all over the place most of it was probably moved over the years by campers. Anyone have a suggestion where to legally search? I've been looking for coin and jewelry in the immediate area around my camper but all I've found are nails ??? Lots of them? And strips of wire. I'm getting hits on some things but the ground is so hard and compacted from years of heavy camper traffic. We will only be here for a few more weeks before heading towards Texas then north towards Michigan . Just looking for suggestions from anyone that's been here before. I'm not necessarily looking for gold nuggets "That would be Nice" just to practice and maybe find some coin. There is a big Wash running through the town I believe is still on BLM land. It's lots of softer sand not packed down . Anyway sorry for a long question in really new at this just looking for advice. Thanks happy hunting.
