Can't detect on our property too many powerlines and electric fences. Even our creek is on the no go list.

you did well, finding the silver amongst all the high conductor trash

 

[silver]

Well found rockhound, looking great ,.... exellent first finds for that first 3d & 6d experience.

 

[Rockhound]

Thanks rocket.I,m slowing learning what the 305 is telling me.I found it frustrating as hell but stuck at it.Any tips on detecting trashy areas because I reckon there is a heap of silvers still hiding amongst all the trash.

If the 305 is like the 705, which I assume so, then running in all metal is the only way. Using discrimination, makes the detector blank over discriminated targets...your coil can pass over a good target, but because its blanking over a discriminated one, thats very close, you will not hear it. All metal can drive you mental at first, so many sounds....so swing slowly, to pick out the good targets in high trash areas.

Hi all,I upgraded the xterra 305 a few weeks ago to a secondhand xterra 70 with the 10x5 dd coil as well as the standard concentric coil.Here's some finds found with the 70 from the showgrounds.

All the coins

The silvers

The coppers

Battery money

Brown Buggers

[Heatho]

Great work, well done, getting some nice finds there.

 

[rocketaroo]

remember trying to find my first florin, it was like shaking a curse lol Florins are dead easy to detect, once one is under the coil

 

[Ramjet]

Great hunt. an amazing collection of coins.

 

[Goldpick]

A very fruitful area for you Rockhound quite a coin collection. Also good to see the junk finds as well to put things into perspective (ie. coins don't always come easily).

 

[Brian_au]

Between Silvers hoard and your show grounds trove there's some decent detecting going on. Might get out and find some new territory.
Great hunt. Inspiring.
