Have some questions

[ticm]

1. I am looking to buy a new detector. Should I get the Ace 250 or the E-track?

2. What's a good pin pointer to get?

3. Is there a good digging tool that you can recommend?

4. Where are some good places to hunt for coins and relics? I would also like to know where I can find silver and gold?

Thank you for your kind responses.

I'd recommend the Bounty Hunter VLF 2.1 detector, you can get it at wal mart for 60 bucks, I hear it'll find hub caps at up to 6 inches.

As far as pinpointers, you don't really need one, just get a screen and throw all the dirt from your hole into it and shake it til you find the target.

As far as diggers go, I know everybody has their own preference, but I like a good old fashioned post hole digger, they have long handles so you can lean on them if you need a rest.

Coins can generally be found in washing machines, and relics are easiest to find in museums and antique shops, but hunting junkyards can really pay off. When I want gold or silver I hunt in pawn shops and jewelry stores, you wouldn't believe how much you can find in those places.

I see, yes thank you. I will look into some of your suggestions.

I forgot one question.


What are the best headphones?




Thank you

I like the ones that early telephone operators used, they have a microphone on them so you can ask your detector questions too!

Well arnt you a nice young man. Very helpfully


Ok I'll inquire about that one. I Guess I will need a higher end detector for that option.

Nah, none of them actually listen (yet) but it helps keep me amused when I figure out that I'm searching the spot where 40 years worth of beer tents have been.....Plus if you have a microphone people assume your cussing at someone, and not at a chunk of aluminum foil.

Do you ever have anything serious posted or is it only a troll account?

Oh ok so there is no there is no technology to speak to your detector like the iPhone.

Wouldn't that be great? You just tell it what to disc out, and it tells you target ids?

I would have it remind me when to pack it up so the wife would not get pissed when I stay out to long. Ahhh provided I had one of these detecting machines. I just assume I would stay out late.

Yes however it may take longer for special order items ...also they have the version of shovel that you can drill holes in to make it a water shovel

I need to get one of those water shovels, every time I try to dig in the water it just goes right back in the hole.

When digging water I have learned that you should carry a drop cloth so as to full the hole back up.
