Ok, So Muddyhandz made me find this with the Snow Shoes on.(Circa 1790-1810)

Hardy · Nov 1, 2009

Hi all, It snowed last night and I thought that after posting the Kettle point and closeting the MD for the winter

until next spring , that I was finished for the year. ell that was not to be as Dave showed up looking to do a last hunt

so I relented and was glad that I did or this puppy would still be hibernating :laughing7:

The Hair clippers are Circa

1790-1810 :icon_thumleft:

1790 to about 1810. Classic example of Fur trade scissors. See what happens Hardy when you pull out the OLD machine........it finds things!
Glad to be out on your last hunt! I'm not done until I freeze down to the ground or the ground freezes. Which ever comes first. :sad7:

WTG!
Dave.

not as cool as that mustache hardy...lol

Great ole relic you found there...nice save

Great find Hardy! Well if Dave made you wear snowshoes, maybe he's not really trying to kill you. I take back my apprehensions.

So you used the White's 6000?

They are pretty sweet in the all metal modes.

Hardy · Nov 2, 2009

Yes Rusted Iron , I used my very first detector that I bought New back in the 80's . The spectrum seems to be a CHERRY PICKER

and misses A LOT of Iron even in the "ALL METAL" mode :icon_scratch:

Now I used the Spectrum this year to justify to myself

that it was worth the bucks that I paid for it. MY CONCLUSION = NOT A GOOD RELIC MACHINE. Dave placed a Iron Point on

the ground and in all metal mode the spectrum null-ed out. with the Coin Master 6000 srs 3 with ancient technology chirped out

loud :hello2:

THIS IS THE CASE OF THE OLD TIMMER KICKING THE TEEN AGE'RS BUTT :icon_thumleft:

A relic machine is not a relic machine without a good all-metal mode.

I was surprised to see how deep the White's 6000's go in AM mode. Not so hot in Disc mode by today's standards, but AM, yeah. Come to think of it, it's fitting to use Ancient Technology to hunt relics.

In a weird coincidence, tonight I find an early pair of scissors with my Tesoro. Mine were far from complete, though. Well I have a few pieces of iron to clean up, maybe by the first big snow I will post them on here.
