Some more,

Cool huh, for just under 3 hours.
Conditions are heavy oak and poplar roots and thick clay soil that's pretty wet at the moment.
Believe it or not this is found with my CZ21......about 20 km inland!
Sorry about the coin pic, I'm battling to get a good pic, I'll put some more up just now.

Coin is 10.7 grams and 30mm across give or take a mm.

I took some more pics quickly, holding it in my hand to try and get the light to catch it right, but it comes out a bit shaky.

Viking, Good finds. Do you know what that coin is. The man looks like a Louie of France. The AX looks old. I'd like to see it cleaned up and hafted. Gambol

Pgill, Glad to see you and x-man are still getting along splendidly! I wouldn't bug him about the pinpointer this weekend. hint hint. He's going to have his .44!
No detecting in Florida, Too hot and rainy. Makes you wonder about Bombay if everyone metaldetects there. Gambol

Posted on: June 20, 2012, 09:30:33 PM

x-man, Maybe you got a component that is mislabeled. It happens rarely but, I worked in a Electronics assembly factory for a while and those were sometimes difficult to analyze. Good luck with the machine this weekend and with Pgill too.

Viking, those are great finds Great

You should put all the flat tops into a frame to show off all the different types, that could be quite nice Grin

The axe needs some electrolysis, but I think it will come out quite nicely Clapp

Now, that coin is another thing Idea

definitely not British, but looks pretty old Kiss

could be some gold there also Funny

Gambol, you will probably find that X has all his diodes going the wrong way, like they are in his brain Laughing

I think he should forget about that detector as I am a good friend and will still let him borrow my other good detector.... But he can still carry on with the pin-pointer as he was doing well with that Funny

the only .44 X has, is the lead in his pencil Shocked

Hi Guys
No I'm pretty sure it's one of these, the shield is in the same position, and the distance from the head to the edge and size of the coin are also the same.
Any details on how to go about sorting the axe head out? It's pretty badly rusted up and has quite a lot of conglomeration on it.
Sorry but what is "hafted". I'll google it in the meantime.

Hey Viking,

So it is British Great

I was thinking later so did not think of that Idea

wow that is great.... Well you had me fooled, I could of swore it was not British, but hey only X is perfect Funny

wonder why that coin was there?

The only way to work with that axe-head is electrolysis Great

it should clean up pretty well.... I believe the liquid molasses trick also does the job Great

but does it stink Grin

Well hello boys and girls (Peter)

I was busy building a detector for someone but he did not like the fact that there were two small breaks in the circuit on the PCB that I fixed by soldering a piece of wire BUT hey guess what I now own a great machine that works like non other that I have ever build I'm sooooo happy about those breaks on the PCB Cheesy

Look out Peter this one's gona blow your socks of. Detection of a 2c coin 350mm and guess what I haven't even done any settings yet LOL this is going to be GOoood
