gold

Decided to go out one morning and do a little hunting to a local park( note has been detected befor and pretty heavy something to do to with a local soical gathering like a carnival event for about a week stright .Was going to go out early am once they pulled all the rides out the night it...

Ok, my wife found this heavy bracelet in a store parking lot a month ago. She turned it into lost and found and nobody claimed it so they called her to come get it if she wanted it. She got it. no karat markings at all. So my guess maybe gold plated? weighs 43 grahams. is there any simple test...

I'm a newbie. I just started metal detecting. Within an hour of my first real hunt this past weekend, found this. Almost cried, y'all. I didn't think there was going to be anything in this field on my father-in-law's property in North Texas. I found a square/rectangular nail within the same area...

Hey guys, haven't shared any hunts in a long time.. but this is my second best hunt in 12 years of detecting. 4 Gold rings, including a 24k! This hunt only lasted 2 hours because of the tropical heat in the middle of the day. I wanted to keep going but I started getting dizzy and had the...

Ice, ice baby - too cold! :lol: Summer isnt over, and the temps have heated back up so I once again abandoned the dirt in favor of the beach. I found this fairly early in hunt and hoped for more but this was the only goody today. It's marked 14K! I hope the ice is real. I'm going to have...

Hello guys, an interesting article from a few days ago about pirate Black Sam and his crew's mass grave discovered in Cape Cod. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5557385/Archaeologists-Americas-largest-pirate-mass-grave.html...

The name’s Aaron and I live in El Dorado County, California, near Placerville, and am looking for anyone in the surrounding area. I have an MXT so I would be willing to do relics, coins, and gold. I am new to the hobby and just went to my first club meeting (Gold Country Treasure Seekers) last...

I'm pretty stoked about finding a very tiny high karat gold chain on the ground last night! I went on a snack run to the local Raley's / Nob Hill to get chips.. it was dark, got out of the car and barely saw this little 2.0 Gram chain on the ground!! Got it in the store and I can easily tell it...

Hello, I'm Tim and I'm brand new to metal detecting. Just bought an Ace 300 and am looking for people to explore with. Getting a bit flustered looking at all the rules and regulations. Hoping to learn and have a great time.

The weather was damn near Summer for the weekend up here in NY, so the kids and I hit the yard for a while. Of course we found a ton of junk from the flood a few years ago, but had a great time. A pile of Crusty's, some coppers, modern quarters, an ancient brass buckle(over a foot down!) and a...

Took a quick lunch break to the local park.... found a clad dime and a couple pennies and then hit a solid 12:35 on the etrac about 4 inches down... I'm pretty excited to have my first gold ring!!!

Hello all. I am a mother in California and am desperate to find my daughters baptismal necklace. I have hopes she lost it here at home. I have been able to get my hands on a metal detector and plan on doing a sweep of the entire house. I began last night and came upon my first obstacle: the...

Hello everyone I'm Jason, I live in Tacoma Wa. I first detected with a put together kit my dad bought back in the 70s. I was just given a older Whites Coinmaster Pro6000/di blue box. Not to familiar with it and hoping to get up and running later this month. I ordered a charger and a reg battery...

I thought I might start a new thread to show off some of the better things I have come across. I am still brand new at metal detecting, thought i have had some good advise and done my best to use it well. I just started into this hobby in Sept. and thanks to some good advise I got a Fisher F2...

I've had a major gold slump this year. I don't know the reasons why but it has been frustrating to say the least. I went out this morning for a couple of hours and the targets were almost non existent but I found this interesting ring. It took a good 3 or 4 big scoops to get down to it, and at...

What is the best detector out there for gold below $1000? I am considering Garrett AT gold or Garrett GTI 2500. Probably because of the price and reviews. But I have never used any detector before. I am mostly interested in larger depth detection, and below $1000.

Hey guys these are my Gold and Silver finds that i have found around my house on fort lewis. i found the Vernon silver plated spoon yesterday! cleaned up real nice! thanks for looking!

After reading many posts on the various forums, I have become curious as to the VDI readings of various gold rings. I use a White's V3i and would like to know (from the users who note the VDI's of their targets) where on the scale the rings read. I remember a Fisher model (I believe it was the...

I want to know whether or not someone really found any gold (nuggets, coins, rings, etc) from Garret GTI 2500. Is it more efficient than Garret AT Gold in gold finding? One more query, which one can scan deeper -- GTI 2500 or AT Gold?
