Hello everyone, I am just a new member. I will have a few questions for you. I live in turkey. I have my own land of about 300 decares. I found some old coins from my land last year. The coins I found came from a depth of about 20-30 cm. I am using XP deus. Also, there are no iron pieces from...

Hey T'netters- I've used a White's MXT for quite a few years and have had more than my fair amount of success. Last spring, I sprung for the XP Deus and while I've had some good finds (mostly bullets which I love to dig), I just don't think I'm getting the most of it. I mostly hunt areas of...

Looking for advice finding a lost ring in a very thick 6'x15' bamboo forest I bought my girlfriend a ring for her birthday a few months back and that same night, as she was showing it to someone on a balcony, she dropped it straight down into a very dense bamboo garden below. We searched with...

Hello fellow treasure seekers! I live in Jackson County, Wisconsin and I just started dectecting afew weeks ago. I'm having trouble finding areas to detect. I'm still learning to pin-point the object better so I don't dig a 12-inch wide, 8-inch deep hole to find a dime! I'm afraid to ask any...

So I have been looking over these forums over the past week or two because obviously I have grown a curiosity in metal detecting. What brought me to this was a somewhat new ambition to collect old coins. So I am looking to get an entry level MD. I have looked over all the posts of other people...
