Hey folks, a quickie today.
I’ve driven by this drive-in for years and never bothered to pursue permission to detect it. The place closed down in the 80’s after being open since the 50’s. I envisioned the place packed with classic Chevys, guys on dates with the friends hiding in the trunk (ok, before [...]

The Fisher F75LTD and Teknetics T2TLD have a new microprocessor and new “DSP” code with a ‘boost process’ to increase depth. Not to mention a cool camo color scheme (don’t set it down in the woods). $1200.
The White’s Spectra V3 (Vision) has a full color display and wireless headphones. $1600.

Permission.
You gotta have it to metal detect. Sure, we could discuss “public” property like parks, beaches, schools, and so forth. But I want to talk about those other places where we all want to be able to detect. The old houses. The fields. The churches.
Taking a slightly different approach, I’d [...]

Lynn from Detector Depot was kind enough to give our readers a little “Detector 101″ advice. Are you looking into buying your first detector?
Read on!

…with detector, of course.
July is here and that means one thing: our family’s bi-annual assault on south Alabama. We’re talking seven hours to make a five hour drive. Living the dream, I tell ya. All to visit for a few days with Mamma ‘nem.
Of course that means good detecting grounds. There are a few places [...]

I’m gonna show you a great way to find metal detecting spots, using my “other” outdoor hobby – geocaching.
You’ve probably heard of geocaching. The gist with “caching” is to use a GPS to find containers that other folks have hidden. It’s a blast, and I’ve found close to 800 caches to date. Even hid several. [...]

Finally got to get out.
Decided to hit an old homesite that I had discovered while enjoying another hobby of mine (new post coming soon about finding detecting spots). I had attempted to hunt this place a couple weeks ago, but tall grass halted any success.
Swung by right after work and walked to the location of [...]

Hey folks. As you know, sometimes wonderful detecting opportunities will present themselves out of the blue. Well I just happenend to be cruising home from work, enjoying some new tunes (soundtrack for this blog entry is “Back for More” by Ratt) when I notice a little ground work going on. Seems they’re in the process [...]
