Well it seems like my theme currently is back-up so that's the title. About a week ago I sent my X-terra 705 off to get a new LCD screen because a couple of the lights were acting up. So that put me to have g to run my back-up detector which is my old X-terra 305 (good machines). Unfortunately I...
The Buffalo nickel a 1929 (dates hard to read but there) was unexpected read out a pretty repeatable 12 on the ETracs conductive scale, was around 6 inches down. Got a few clad and other nick knacks out there but on the way back to my truck I dug what was a low 30 -31 signal and got the mystery...
The highlight of the first hunt was the wheat penny and the crushed aluminum kids ring. Straightened that out, too bad its a no fit me ring lol ! Second hunt the best item was a 1925 Buffalo Nick ! Sure was hard to get it out of the ground, must have spent over 5 minutes extracting it...

NOTE: After taking photos of my 1915D wheat cent I lost it in my house, I know it will probably turn up sometime though.
Just a day ago I found my first wheat penny, buffalo nickel, and barber dime (my fist silver coin), all in the same hole. The date of the wheat was 1915 D the date of the...
Went through my second box of nickles last night and too my surprise, 5 or 6 rolls in I found a buffalo on the end of the roll :hello2:. The data is very warn. The best I can tell, it is a 1919-D. I have read about some people using "nick-a-date". However, some have said that it leaves an acid...
I metal detected for half a hour and found 1959 D penny at a 1950s school. I am metal detecting again today maybe at a school that was made in about 1810 that is still around. Yes, 1810 not 1910. or maybe a school made in 1900. I was wondering how long does it take to find a wheat. I have metal...
Saw something really pretty yesterday morning and wanted to share.
It was foggy and the bison were feeding in all the little valley's on the Prairie, which made for an awesome sunrise! The bison were "steamy" in the cool morning air.
Thanks for looking!
I'm very new to metal detecting and just did my first beach yesterday. It was a small swimming pond that had been dug to build an interstate. I didn't think it was too old but found a dateless buffalo nickel and a 5 peso mexican coin from 1980 which was weird because I live in a northeastern...
