I went for a night hunt tonight for about an hour and a half and forgot my light, but I worked without it and got my first euro a necklace and $2.80 in clad not to bad for working in the dark!

Rod, It freaked me out because I have never seen one before and I thought it was a gold coin until I saw the writing,maybe some day I will find a gold coin but they're harder to hand then diamonds!

Plus the fact that you saw it in the dark probably didn't help any

Rod, I could see the glint of gold by the distant street light but I didn't know until I got into my truck for a closer look it was driving me crazy thinking it was a gold coin and having to wait.

Good stuff. Just shows us all that that determination pays off in the end. Maybe we should try blindfolded, just listen to the tones. Spotz

Don't laugh I have thought about doing that!

Because I got my detector only two months ago, and our weather here has been mostly yucky, I've had to do a lot of night hunting. By the time I get home from work, if it's nice enough temperatures, I don't let darkness stop me. The flashlight was just another thing to carry, so I stopped using it. I can use my knife to find the target in the hole by listening for that metal-on-metal sound. Yeah, I could do this blind. Hopefully it won't come to that.

What I'm looking for is a metal detector equipped with a good fog machine. That way I could MD in private.

Neat finds! I can't wait to hit our parks..if the snow will ever melt here!

Eeeeaks, Vingamel! Listening for the 'metal to metal' sound? Gosh, I hope you don't do that to an 1804 dollar or an old Carson City coin! I heard horror stories of guys who found $1000+ coins and reduced their value to 10% by scratching them! Invest in a probe, if you can.
