I live in a area that has a decent amount of dry washes with specks of gold in the wash. I am looking to purchase equipment that allows me to pan for the gold in the washes (I will be bringing my own water in large containers with my ATV). I found this lot of gold mining equipment on a...

Hello friends! Well two days ago, my dad told me about dowsing. I had never really heard about it, just about people finding water with sticks. So I started looking into it. I seen people dowsing photos of areas, and it really intrigued me. I believed! Which I believe is very important. So...

Can a MD be used to find diamonds? David

So I went out for a second hunt this afternoon and had some more very minor success. I found another Quarter (clad 2000), and six pennies (various dates, including my FIRST WHEATIE 1944). It's crazy how deep those coins are (maybe 4–5 inches and only 12 years old) I also found a locket that...

Hey there! Recently found this axe head in yard of old farmhouse in Ohio. Used electrolysis to remove a lot of sediment and rocks attached. Any idea of the period? It weighs 4 lbs. Thanks!

Me and Dale32 took our MDs out to a disclosed location yesterday. It started out average, a few dimes, pennies, quarters. Then out of no where we hit the jackpot. In about 15 minutes we found a total of 98 quarters! Can't wait to go back. Why do you think there were than many quarters there? Any...

What is the craziest or funniest thing anyone has ever told you while detecting? Once in chicago a kid (like 7 years old, i'm 13) said hey you aint gonna find nothin here. I just smiled and said sure. 15 min later I found a 14k gold earring!

Great day today! Having a blessed streak. It's going to be an awesome weekend! Also attached recent bracelet find and other rings from a few month back. woo hoo

Hi, I normally use a sturdy Bowie knife to dig my targets. I was wondering what everyone else used and if anyone had any suggestions.

I detected a 150 year old church the other day. I am a little new with the mxt. The old church only had the foundation left and all around the church were hot rocks everywhere. The mxt was just going crazy . I ground balanced on normal soil like i always do. Should i ground balance it on those...

Hi All, I live in south Florida (Boca Raton) and recently got into metal detecting. I got a Bounty Hunter Lone Star from Bass Pros Outdoor World. This is what i want to accomplish, detecting on the beach and in the water up to say 5' deep. What detector do you recommend for the salt water...

I'm going to the beach and am planning to get some headphones for my MD to not disturb people trying to have fun an all. My budget is very tight because of the short notice, so I need something $30 or under. I don't want such low quality that is breaks after a couple of trips but it needs to do...

Hi all im new to treasurenet and this is my first post so i was just going to share my best finds for my first 7 months of metal detecting . I started with a old Garrett A.D.S groundhog until i found enough clad and a gold ring to pay for a F2.This shows all my good finds with the F2 minus a...

I'm looking for someone experienced in the art of metal detecting that can take me under their wing and show me the basics. I do not have a detector yet, because I don't know where to look for quality machines and I'm a poor married student. I would be willing to help with hunts in Utah Valley...

I just got my new Fisher F2 and I am loving it. I have already found about 50 cents in clad and a hotwheels car. Not valuable but fun to dig. I have been detecting around an old baseball field and also a picnic area at my church. Any suggestions on where to dig? :dontknow:I want silver!

So as a ritual over the years I like to hit up schools in the summer that are open to the public when school is out. I find that many of the sand and wood chip tot lots can produce a lot of clad, real and fake jeiwelery and millions of nails, paper clips and junk. I found myself bending over and...

Fellow Garrett user, It had not crossed my mind to post down here about our new blog site called D.U.G. (Discovered Under Ground). We have been using the Garrett AT Pro and AT Gold with the full range of coils 5x8, 8.5x11 DD's and the 9x12 concentric since Febuary and have had some great...

Who does not like finding nails, well me for one, but today I found nails that just made me smile. 8-) After a lot of research on this early 1900's property I decided to go check it out. Unfortunately it seems it is private property. Although only protected by a single cable fence and not a No...

Hi all. I'm new here and have been reading a lot and learning a lot from all of you. I recently purchased a property in DeKalb County, Indiana that has a house on it that was built in 1920. I took a break from renovations on the property and took my MD out to see what I might find. The dang...

In the last couple of weeks I've found over 60 coins, one Swiss 1/2 Franc, two necklaces (one is silver and the other may be silver), a pocket knife, and several pieces of costume jewelry. Yesterday I used low discrimination, I used high discrimination, I dug deep targets, and I dug shallow...

Hi Everyone, My fiancé and I are new metal detector users. We have been searching beaches, parks and woods around our area. We have found some cool items (as well as mostly junk) so far including axe heads, relatively recent coins and old tools. However, we wanted to look at old maps and see...

Decided to hit a new spot today and just as I got started a couple guys pulled up and asked if I ever find anything with my md. I had just found a '42 nickel and told them about finding change and silver jewelry and coins. A minute later I found a small caliber bullet and told them the one thing...

Mywife & I just completed a 3 week 3661 kilometres (almost 2275 miles)Western Australian coastal camping trip from Gosnells to Exmouth (Home of theWorld Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef and Whale Sharks) and back. Although I didnot discover shipwreck treasure, by the end of the trip I had 177...

I love to metal detect sled riding hills in the spring. I go out just after the snow has melted and the ground is not frozen. I have found rings money, coins, sun glasses, shoes, hats, gloves and more on these slopes. I also love to fish and I found a slick way to get worms. Tip: Next time you...

Hey everyone. Couple weeks ago I went detecting at my neighbor's house that was built in 1695. I decided to stay in a trashy area and clean it out in hopes of finding a few goodies inbetween all the trash. Well, that plan worked out great! I found an old token, toy car, pocket knife, and then...

Hello fellow diggers- My buddy Dave & I and another new "digger" were detecting yesterday at a site in the western part of Virginia that was a known Union encampment for almost the duration of the entire war. An although this site has been detected hard, no site is completely ever detected...

What was your deepest coin found? How deep was it? What type of ground was it in? How old was the coin? What detector did you use? Mine was a 1979 US Quarter at 6in in moist dirt. Using a Garrett Ace 250.
