Re: Infinium coil question - 2 months ago
My observations and personal experiences (subject to debate!): The 8" mono coil is probably the most used coil at DIV sites. Most of the regular Infinium attendees seem to do best with this coil. It is much lighter in weight than the stock 10" X14" and being smaller, deals with less red dirt. However, DD coils in general are considered better for dealing with the red dirt and iron separation.by Tom In PA - Diggin' In Virginia
Re: Found this tag today, any suggestions to what it might be for - 2 months ago
Agree with Creskol on the miner tag. We're assuming that it's about the size of a 50 cent piece in diameter and pretty thin??by Tom In PA - Relic & Bottle

Re: Do you remember what hunt the picture was from? - 3 months ago
I'm not totally sure which image Hollywood is referring to, but I'm thinking that it was taken at DIV XXI. (Possibly with Steve Evans as one of the diggers in the scene)by Tom In PA - Diggin' In Virginia

Re: Garrett Pinpointer - 4 months ago
I carry mine in its holster on my belt and have not had a problem with interference. The only interference i get is when I turn it on to use in the hole/dirt pile and my detector is laying too close to the hole. I've also glued on a piece of velcro to both the top of the pinpointer and a strip of it onto the holster. A 'quick flip' of the velcro strap secures it nicely.by Tom In PA - Relic & Bottle

Re: Any Idea's ??? - 4 months ago
Joe, Railroad related for sure. Here are 3 that I dug up here in PA. The AVRR stands for Allegheny Valley Rail Road which was formed in the 1850's. I always assumed it was luggage related, but maybe Reale Bill's comment of the milk can has merit. Maybe they delivered the milk cans by train and this is how they knew where to unload the can at the right train stop. The one's that I have, indicby Tom In PA - Relic & Bottle

Re: DIV and my son? - 5 months ago
Guy, Not positive on this, but on past hunts only those who were picked, paid, and accounted for were allowed to be on the grounds. This would indicate that his name would have to be on the final list as a participant. Hope it works out for you.by Tom In PA - Diggin' In Virginia
Re: Thanks Tom .. Guess it will remain a genuine whatzit! - 6 months ago
That being said...my only guesses are: A small cigar, cigarette, & pipe ash scooper (found more around homes, trains, hotels, etc.). Or a simple snap-on lid for an odd shaped tin box. Now we can sleep soundly!by Tom In PA - Diggin' In Virginia
