So about a week ago I found a Medieval Copper Ring in the woods while metal detecting and I also found a small (Probably Copper) Piece that I can't tell how old it is and what it is: The woods I detected is known for medieval and even older remains. So if this is Medieval or older please let...

Got a really good deal on a Whites MXT to go along with my DFX off Craigslist. I took it this afternoon on it's maiden hunt to the old house down the street that I have been hunting. I was very impressed with its ability to find some coins that had not been previously found by my DFX and two...

Went to the local Pawn shop on Saturday and could not belive my eyes. I found a Minelab Safari in Excellent condition for $29.00 dollars. I believe I almost passed out in the store!!!. They even included a new set of batteries so I could try it outside their store. After I purchased it and...
