The presentation for the meeting will be a screening of the Civil War Museum documentary, "Reverence of the Past, Devotion to the Future".

There should be more news about the Huntnic and raffle tickets. Plus raffles and marble pull.

Come out and enjoy a dinner with your group.

If so, I can't say how deep this will actually go for a good target like a button or minnie or plate. If Angelico will dig a 36" hole for me, I'll bury another item to find out (his choice of which). I'm too olde to dig that deep just to fill it back up.

So I went to a battlefield (on private property with owner's permission of course) and found one modern .22 and one small caliber fired round ball, one tiny flatened ball (game piece?) and a surprise or two. One minnie had been made into a pencil, complete with halfmoon base cut for tip of index finger, and a worn 1903 V nickel (confederate, obviously). All small ones were found within 3 inches and all minnies at 6 to 8 inches. They are where they are found! I found a very nice horse shoe (looked handmade) with practically no rust, except for the remnants of nails still in it at 15", but it must have fallen out of my pouch before I left the woods. I also found a peanut butter aluminum wrapper at 25".

Discrimination works great for nails and smaller objects. Cannon balls, horseshoes and all aluminum will all give good signals at any depth, as will larger nails and shell frags. My testing isn't complete, and I don't know where to test in northern VA for DIV, however. The machine is far from complicated like a DFX, for example. But it has to ground balance to perfection and then be run in "auto" for best results for a novice Blisstoolist. I consider this a great result for a first-time out in a thoroughly hunted area which I only hunted about 7 hours, with lots of movement time.
In good ground (low mineralization). It is absolutely a Very deep detector with good relic-hunting discrimination in good soil; I'll report back after DIV as to highly conductive soil (according to the factory expert at minelab-not highly mineralized).

I'm a novice, and I approve of this message, which is my own opinion only. All comments are welcomed. :csa:]]> Flyntgr Southern Historical Research and Recovery Assoc.Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:50:15 -0500 http://www.mytreasurespot.com/main/read.php?13,573203,573203#msg-573203 http://www.mytreasurespot.com/main/read.php?13,573203,573203#msg-573203OOPS!

There was a membership drive for the Task Force for Metal Detecting Rights, giving away 4 metal detectors as incentives to sign up.
Being new to MD, in favor of these rights and wishing I had better gear, I signed up.
I was surprised when I got an email from the Task Force announcing the winners.

I was at the top of the list! Better junk here I come!

Hope to see you guys at the next meeting.
