My wife once asked me about "fishing poles" her words. She said to me "how many fishing poles do you need?" "Well" I said " There are many ways to fish, many types of fishing, different equipment for each" " Here I have a surf rod and reel for the beach, it's a long rod to cast far and keeps the line above the breakers. This rod and reel are for f

Estija82, I don't want to look at the time when detecting, I don't want to care what time it is. That's what this hobbie does to me....removes me from the everyday things I really don't want to do. If I have to know the time, it means I have to be somewhere or do something. Noooooo Sir, not on my adventure. When in the field or woods I'm not thinking about any thing else

Always liked the idea of a swivel head, Sam. Super duper fast (for unmasking) and deep (12" easy on a 3 cent silver in the ground). Light and well ballanced. Waterproof. Frequencies of choice with a big range and or multiple. Long warrantee. Durable. Easy to read screen. Nice pleasant tones that are easily distinguishable. Wireless. More than one number to I.D target. What more can I ask? Oh

Yes "eye opener" it is. I think I will keep sanitizing the area and then taint some of the targets myself. Then I'll know when testing, what's going on...I hope. Lots of food for thought.....thanks guys!

Should the deepest be 10"? Also, should I bury I.H and large cents and silver? Why only clad when I only go for the old coins? Any masking scenarios?

digging a test garden. I haven't planned it on paper but I've been sanitizing the area with an earth magnet and detector. Unbelievable, the amount of ferrous in the ground. From powder size to nail size. I have to pinch the tiny bits off the magnet. No wonder the f-75 was freakin out there. I'll have to get out the tiller....more work than I expected but, has to be done.

I would say keep your cz7a and treat yourself to a f-75 LTD. Even though you are familiar with the cz, learning the 75 is cake. The speed and seperation of the 75 means alot around the old home sites for old coins. The further away from the old home, you can use the cz where the nails are less, not as much masking. The cz isn't as noisy when swinging, but what does that tell ya? After you ge

I found the write-up about the dig at the 95 bridge;
EWING, N.J. (AP) – A $1.1 million archaeological dig that has been under way for months as part of the proposed Scudder Falls Bridge replacement project has turned up evidence that Native Americans lived at the site as long ago as 500 B.C. and as recently as 1500 A.D.
“The most intriguing evidence (in Ewing) are the physical remains of a

A couple months ago I was riding along the Delaware River on River Road where interstate 95 crosses the Delaware River from PA to NJ. The area is called Yardley.Very historic area, it's near Washingtons Crossing. I saw a fenced in area with about half a dozen men and women digging and sifting. I told my buddy to pull over lets go take a look. Well, there is no place to pull over on River Rd

Welcome Yeasty,
Will you explain what the dashes represent? Am I looking at sent frequencies? What does the scope show when there is a metal target involved? Very interesting.

Brian, that looks a little uncomfortable, but I would be out there with ya. What state was that? I didn't quite hear the audio because of the hurricane that was passin thru. Did the sand ruin any of the detectors or just make them an ounce or two lighter?

I know this is a detectorists forum, but it's the only place I converse with people around the country, actually around the world.
I just read about this because a friend asked me to take a look at it and so I wanted to share it with the people I relate to. Google "Freedom Advocates" and read about "Agenda 21". This is what our govt has in progress and it started year

Keep us posted after the move and if you would, tell me all about the state and how you like the area. Especially the detecting.

The Etrac has a list of items, trash and coins etc. You can X out those items to semi-custom set a program. Or leave them blank, or check them in. On the smart screen, those coordinates (X & Y) of those items you choose to detect or not will be darkened (nulls) or white will give an audio and ferrous and conductive numbers. You can also custom set a program by waving an item over the coil and

Yes Wolf spiders. I saw one the other day, if a circle was drawn around the tip of his legs the diameter would measure 2-1/2 inches. They are stalking spiders and don't build a web to catch their pray. I heard of wolfs being kept as pets and being handeled, hafta pass on that. I've been bitten by many crawleys and maybe I'm not allergic because I only get small itchy welts. The one

I have been under many a crawl spaces pooring footings, replacing beams and joists. Very rarely do I see a clean one. There are all sorts of pipe cutoffs, wire, pieces of iron and you name it. Not a comfortable place to be. Not only that but usually there is a subfloor under the floor or the floor boards are tongue and groove...not much can get through except dust. I'd pass on that area to d

Yea, kicking sideways can hurt the knee, I can feel it when I mistakenly do it.
One nusance that developed in my right foot is called mortons neuroma or also called intertmetatarsel neuroma. It's a nerve problem between the third and fourth toe that comes and goes depending on the use of the foot. Sometimes the two toes go numb and then the 4th toe feels like a burning ache. I am trying to

That's awesome Neugene, detecting with your daughter. I can't get my daughter or my wife to pick up the detector and try it, no interest whatsoever. My daughter will go bay fishing with me though, she is 24.
What machine are you going to use?

Carlin was genius and what a memory he had. Steve, where did you get those quotes?, I see there numbered. Number 94, thats a Carlin classic. He had a way of removing all the glitz and the fluff that us humans tend to padd around ourselves. Thanks for the quotes.

So, so many calculations, it's a mind boggler. And the equiptment and the machines they have to build just to make the parts for the project. Complicated, for the lack of a stronger word. Thanks go rebels, for the video, it was cool.

A few years ago my wife and I purchased a 18'-6" Old Town canoe so we could have something to do together out doors. We also purchased a rod & reel for her and a fishing licsence because there's no way I can go out on the lake and not fish for bass. My idea of fishing has always been, all my life; to get up early and be on the lake or the bay or stream as the sun is cracking o
