My finds from a hunted out homesite........

[Goes4ever]

well at least I thought it was hunted out....lol

this is my aunt's house, I have tightly grided this yard in at least 4 different directions with my ace 250, and I have found a lot of stuff there over many, many trips there. Last trip there I walked away with not much of anything, that was with the ace 250..................

today I went back for the first time ever with my minelab X-70.........wow. Look at all the stuff I found in a 2 hour hunt. 5 more wheats, few modern pennies, large brass key, a token of some sort that says "Tested and Sealed Ohio"

all the wheats were 6+ inches deep, so maybe that is why the ace 250 did not get them?? the brass key was at least 8" deep, registered at 44-46, the ohio token was also a 44, I was hoping for a silver half dollar, but I think this is a cool find.

The X-70 justs blows away the ace 250, but that is to be expected it is 3 times the cost, I am just very impressed with this machine the more I use it.
goes to show a site is never hunted out

It's hard to beat a Minelab.

Supper finds. Seems like the new detector is paying off. Have you checked out the section for programing your detector?

Very nice finds G-4

no there is very little to programming the x-70........I hunt in all metal, and dig all non ferrous tones.

That key looks like it might be to an old clock ........ I also have an ACE 250 and I am hoping to eventually move to a Minelab eventually

I can promise you won't regret the move

That's the way to do it--with ANY machine.


Well done.


My favorite is the brass mantle clock key.

yeah the key is pretty cool, I really like it myself

Isn't it nice to go back over a spot and still find stuff that you didn't find many times earlier? I did that after doing a yard with my Garrett GTAx550 and yes I dug a lot of good old coins but recently I borrowed a freinds Excalibur II and went back and dug more old coins that were missed!

It's never hunted out. Great digs!

I do not think "Tested and Sealed" is a good marketing campaign for Ohio.

I think "Tested and Rated as Data Adequate" might be a better choice.........

Or perhaps "Tested and Disease-Free" might be more inviting to tourists.

I found a similar token. Mine isn't in as good as shape, but the backside says "Ross County 1939". What does yours say? I'll post a pic of it tommorrow.
