A Little Dis, a Little Dat…

LOOK OUT “NOX”…HERE COMES “ORX”

Got to love it. XP has just announced the “Orx” and it looks to me like a response to the Minelab Equi”Nox”. At least that’s my take. What do you think?

A follow-up…

After the comments on the last post I thought I would share the following excerpt from the “Coin Hunting” page…. I would also love to hear from anyone who has hunted for or found a cache. 

TBT – When I Was a Treasure Hunter…

Not much to say or share this time around. Went back to New Jersey Labor day weekend to attend a wedding and to rekindle the Jersey attitude. I saw more country, more green and more beauty in three days than I’ve seen here in years. Sure miss the Garden State!

Since it’s Thursday here’s a throwback to a September 2013 post…

WYSIWYG (sometimes)…

A little ‘food for thought’ to start and then I want to recommend a great addition to your treasure hunting library…

The New (and the Old)…

The New White’s TDI Beach Hunter

Well Whites proved me wrong and just announced a new machine, the TDI Beach Hunter. Looks like a winner but I’ve learned over the years that only time and diverse user feedback will tell….

Thoughts on a Thursday…

All This? Really?

Saw an ad for the Fisher F-Pulse pinpointer and was amazed and amused by the bullet listed features…

*Pulse induction *Beep, Vibrate (or both) *Lost Mode Alarm *Single Button Operation *3 Sensitivity Levels *Proportional Response *Retune *Adjustable LED Light *Auto Shutdown.

All this and it’s a PINPOINTER for crissakes. I’m guessing it won’t be long before these things come with lengthy user manuals.

How did we ever find anything in the 70’s and 80’s?

Was Just Thinking…

Where’s the big kahuna of 2018?

More than halfway through 2018 and still no new “gotta have” detectors announced or rumored. Makes one wonder if the manufacturers have used up all their top-secret ideas or whether they’ve finally learned that any new detector better be both ‘in-the-field’ and ‘shipment’ ready.

Paranoid in Poland…

Well my good friend Paul Barford, a.k.a Warsaw Wally, is crying both crocodile tears and foul at the same time with his most recent blog post titled Metal Detectors on Sale. Seems he’s equating the number of detectors for sale on Ebay to an ever-increasing number of new participants. Wondering if it ever occurred to him that a few of these detectors are for sale because detectorists have dropped out?

U. S. Military Dog Tags…

Not on vacation or feeling under the weather. Just much too hot to even be thinking about detecting. So once again here’s a reprise of a post John Winter was kind enough to write for Stout Standards back in 2016. 

Let me also mention that John is currently battling prostate cancer and I know that I along with detectorists here and abroad are thinking of him at this most difficult time. Hang in there you ole git! 

Redux 2016…

Used to be old silver coins were plentiful

It’s a holiday, it’s hot as hell (°104) and I’m brain-dead. Here’s a repeat from 2016….
