What this could be part of? HeLP

Found this while out detecting for gold and from the other people I have asked it’s an air rifle pallet? But there was others saying no and I just can’t seem to find one exactly the same so still a bit unsure lol and if it is an air rifle pallet, year etc? If not any ideas on what it could be...

I thought I might share my experience with the Equinox 800. A little about me. I started metal detecting with the Fisher original gold bug in 1987 hunting gold nuggets in North Georgia. I read the manual once and started using it. The gold bug was a good gold hunting machine. Several years...

Ok, here are a few items. Other members please add to this list since I probably left out a something and even some major items. Always carefully cover your holes. Carry out all the trash finds. Prepare a “go bag” for all your accessories. I use a medium sized back pack with a grab handle...

If you were to start all over in the hobby of metal detecting and treasure hunting, what would you do differently. I am trying to learn from more experienced folks on here and avod spending 5, 10, 15 years or more doing something wrong or looking in the wrong places by hearing what you have to...

Hello, my name is Rick and i'm a 34 year old father of two. After a lifetime of watching movies, and reading books and magazines about treasure hunting adventures, I've decided to live it! My wife is also very into the idea of it, and so supported my on my recent purchase of a Garrett AT Pro...

I came from three years of hunting with the AT Pro and many hours on other mid-ranged price detectors. I now have about 30 hours on the Equinox 800 and on any given day after a hunt I am about ready to sell the 800 and buy another AT Pro. But I find myself out there 2-3 days later hunting with...

I am a retired Design Engineer and am both going crazy at home and doctor says get exercise and to get up an get off my kester. I have always wanted to metal detect/find history and am an avid fan ( much to wife's dismay) of discovery, history channels etc on tv. Right now am looking at a...

I recently acquired the Angus Mackirk Eureka sluice and will be using it for the first time this Saturday. I am fairly new to prospecting and this will be my first time using a sluice. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos on where and how to use a sluice but would love to get some tips...

Hello fellow people of the internet :hello: I have always found the hobby of fun and interesting. When I was a kid I would literally just dig around my yard (with out a detector) and see if I could find things, amazingly enough I had found two bits of jewelry. Lord knows what I did with them...

I am a newbie to the craft, however I have found myself completely in love with the hunt. I was searching to see if there are anyone near me. I would love to join a club and gain some experience. I have been metal detecting for about a month. I have logged about 60 hours thus far. I learning...

Hi Everyone :), I just started MD as a hobby. I've been reading a lot on the topic and have decided to invest in my first detector. I'm primarily interested in relic hunting and heard a lot about the Fisher 1266x. I know its an older model, but would anyone still recommend a used 1266x in 2017...

Hey all I am new here I just opened my new detectors today. I bought 3 instead of one expensive one so me and friends can go in groups and see who can find the most. I got a Bounty Hunter Platinum, a White's Treasure Master and a Fischer Gold Bug 2. I cant wait to hit the path and start finding...

My family and I are novice treasure hunters but we would like to learn as much as possible. We have purchased a decent detector (not a toy, but not a $2000 machine either) and we are looking for additional tools. We would like a GPS unit to help mark places we have searched, see where we left...

Hello All. I have been detecting only for a few months. Looking for places that allow hunting. More to hone my skills than find riches lol. Anyone have any suggestions?
