first find's with the x-70

Whatup all ! ;D I recently got a minelab extera-70 and today i got to try it out.I searched the yard of a house that was built on an older house site back in the 30's.My first signal was a 1940 wheatback,a little further got a nice old broach that i think may be gold.There are no markings but it looks old and feels heavy.I then found a nice silver and mother of pearl ring.After that i didn't get much other than a couple more wheat's some clad a button and a couple of machbox cars.All in all i think i like my alian soudin minelab.It's going to get some getting used to as I'm used to the fisher cz-20 but then that's what i said about the fisher when i had my Garrett. ;D

Re: first find's with the x-70

Re: first find's with the x-70

Welcome to the Minelab family. I have an Explorer II and my sister has an X-30. I really like their detectors.

Good job on the finds.

Nice broach!

I'm sure it must have gold content, because the pin is still intact.

Way to break in a new machine!

Sounds good, bud. You have some good Colonial sites in fields? I hope you find something great.

Upstate NY here also, Great machine, I started out watching the display and went crazy digging but now, that I'm a month older and wiser since I got it, I listen instead of watch..... Good luck and great finds, Joe
 

Re: first find's with the x-70

Re: first find's with the x-70

Thanks all,Kirk some of the best is in the corn ! I live in an area rich in colonial history.I'm in the Cooperstown,Cherry valley ,Oneonta area. I'm just north of ya on the Susquhana river.Atrimas,The stone is blue/green but more green.Well they done stessed me out at work again so guess i gotta get the 6 inch coil now,I'll be needing something to get around them corn stalks. ;D
 

Re: first find's with the x-70

Sousa, that broach could be a "sleeper" and have more value as a period piece of jewelry than the gold that's in it.

Neat find!

I hope you strike some coppas. Your CZ will be crying in the fall. :'( The X-terra will be laughing at the CZ. :D
