Are any Metal Detectors Out There?

Just an odd rock that makes your detector scream like a banshee. Usually, a loadstone or magnatite.

I have had a minelab vanquish 440 for a little over a year. It is something I had thought about for a long time and glad I did it. I’m mostly a relic hunter but do hunt parks and schools some. If you’re in the Tulsa area you have a local option with Outlaw Metal Detectors in Skiatook. He has a shop at his house with different brands as well as all the accessories you need. He was very helpful when I was trying to decide which model I wanted.

Found his site, saved it, I should be ready mid-February, in time to get ready for spring.

Most detectors except for the high-end ones that are designed for gold will work for natural gold since the majority is smaller than a piece of rice. Those under $750 will find big stuff like gold rings, also take note that pull tabs (and nickels) show up almost identical to gold rings.

That's God's little thwack against MDers.

Isn't there a shop in Tulsa up by 44 and Memorial?

Wife and I went around the property a bit yesterday, struck it RICH!---------------in junk. Found quite a few nails, some maybe square, can't tell from the rust, a couple bolts, a piece of chain and a barrel lid, was hoping for a barrel of gold underneath but not to be. Pulled out dad's old Fisher, I remember going with him to pick it up in Daly City Cal in 1968. Cannot find a battery, takes an eveready 228, 12V with connections like a 9V on each end, might try a battery charger on it just to see if it still works. Ordered a cheap spot detector that has good reviews just to see how commited we.ll be to keep on trying.

That CTX looks nice. Let us know how well you like it. I have a Whites MXT and DFX that still find the loot.
