THE Random Chat Thread - AKA "The RCT" - No shirt or shoes required - Open 24 / 7

The front yard, side yard, back yard, field, barn and walking areas have been pounded. I found a 1980s dime, and that's it.
 

Good morning AARC, Simon, the1Rod, rook, beeps, RR, rc, bill, WD, Bart, DS, and the rest of the crew

It's a nice morning here,......
 

Good morning G.A.P.metal,.........

Hey RR,........

You have access to a piece of ferrite?
 

A little bit of it. If it's for an explosive, I want nothing to do with it! :laughing7:
 

No RR,..... think that black material,... in an old radio they wrap copper wire
around it,..... for the AM antenna.

Or, older school magnets are made from that material,........

Like this,........

I see these black magnets at the .99 cent store.

A ferrite is a ceramic material made by mixing and firing large proportions of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3, rust) blended with small proportions of one or more additional metallic elements, such as barium, manganese, nickel, and zinc.[1] They are electrically non-conductive, meaning that they are insulators, and ferrimagnetic, meaning they can easily be magnetized or attracted to a magnet. Ferrites can be divided into two families based on their resistance to being demagnetized (magnetic coercivity).


It's an effective old school way to deal with an iron rich location,.......

Ground balancing on a piece of ferrite helps you "level the playing field".

Reason being of course is you have given your machine a heads up
as to what kind of conditions your dealing with.

Some machines come with a piece of ferrite for just that purpose.

Or from these,........

Nah, Egypt's boring. I'd like to go to that Confederate camp in Florida I remember Bart mentioning.:laughing7:


Or there's the dump in Ashland...

The privies in Grayson...

The coins in Portsmouth...

The points in Tygart...

The bullets in Culpeper...


Shall I go on?

A great place to start is map research online or even here on tnet. I go to the library in the village I'm hunting. I got an invite to some CW ground a year or so ago from the receptionist at a library near the village I was hunting. Another idea is just asking around. I've gotten a lot of premission's over the years just asking door to door. As the sayin goes, you won't get any till you ask.

I've hunted Egypt Ms. A hot bed for CW finds. Nathan Bedford Forrest fought the damn Yanks for several years between Okolona and Meridian Ms. with Egypt being right in the middle. Just a little Egypt stuff there. Didn't mean to interrupt y'all's conversation.
