Metal Detecting discussions and finds

Ill get more pics whe i get it

 

Gonna try to hit the front yard today. HAHAHAHA, if you want to consider it a yard???

It's like about 15'x30'

A little Chihuahua be like, "WTF do you call this shi*... not even big enough for me and one of my turds???"

But yeah, pretty small, but will try to do that today. Been fighting a cold/flu.

Anyways...

 

That looks pretty sweet! I KNOW that thing will dig!

Nice!

 

Good luck!

 

Yeah, should be interesting.

Where I live, there are those HUGE powerline poles and the city made a "park" along the WHOLE stretch of it. Well, through/within the city. But yeah, I'm about a block away from that too as an option of places to hit and have detected along that stretch before as well. The only downside, whenever I'm in that location, while my body is getting HAMMERED by EMF, so is my detector and the sense needs to be turned down to the point of just being able to detect an inch or two down. Any higher on the sense and my detector is getting wrecked by the EMF. So, I don't detect along the powerlines that often.

Anyways, I'll post what I find in the yard.

 

Post up what you find!

Two thoughts regarding EMF:
1: If they are transmission lines, the operating utility more than likely shuts them down periodically for service, inspection, and repairs. If you were to determine when this occurs, you could prolly go in when the lines are de-energized and clean up. Food for thought.
2: Have you tried wearing a tin foil hat?

 

Yeah, it's those HUGE transmission lines. The types you see going along the desert terrains and up/over mountains.

I'll try to get info on the maintenance times. I didn't know that?

Btw, it is raining in good ol' "sunny" Southern California. I was hearing on the news not until this coming week??? It's really light, but raining enough to make it too wet to do any md'ing.

I want to get paid the big $$$ to tell people BS weather reports too???

I'll use the foil I find during my finds.

 

i took a lightning pic while under some power lines...i could feel and hear the static when lightning would strike so i got out out of there

 

Sometimes I get spooked under transmission lines on a nice day. During stormy weather it would be a whole other thing...

 

Yeah it was very creepy

 

Soooooo, since it was raining yesterday AND this morning... by the time I got out of work and got home, it was pretty much a clear sky. Decided to hit the front yard before this damn weather changes its mind.

From top to bottom, left to right:
Some sort of copper tubing about 3/8" tall
1982, 1987, and 2002 (Memorials)
1977 and 1988 (Jefferson nickels)


Not bad for about a 30min hunt. Had to wrap it up because the sun was going down QUICK!!!

I gotta get my Sniper coil outta my storage. The yard has a fair amount of signals and it's harder with the coil size I currently have on for such a small area.

 

acidic soil there

 

Yeah, apparently??? It's what I said to myself when I found the first find, which was the 2002... NOT a 2004.

But yeah, I was like, "holy SHI*???!!!"

 

Kinda neat to see

 

It's always good to see money come out of the ground! Nice!

 

HAHAHAHA, the 2002 looks like it has a damn skin disease???!!! EVVVVVERY TIME I see these stincoln zincolns like this, it makes my "skin crawl"!!!

 

Yeah, I gotta grab my Sniper coil or my other smaller coils. Anything, but this 13" in for such a small yard.

 

I know exactly what you mean. I have left more than one of them laying in the ground...

 

yeah I found one or two outside my house that were hideous...they made them cheap thats for sure!

leave them for some newbie like me to find

 

Picked up a 15" coil for the Equinox today. The salesman told me that the 6" are on backorder. Boooo!!
