My Unusual Attachment to my Garrett Pro-Pointer

Posted on March 20, 2013November 23, 2020 By Detecting Diva 12 Comments on My Unusual Attachment to my Garrett Pro-Pointer

GarrettPropointerWhen I started detecting, I didn’t use a pinpointer. I don’t know or remember how I managed to find my targets without one, but I do recall the feeling of frustration.

My Dad, being a detectorist himself, graciously gave me a
White’s Bullseye as a gift. I was excited to try it out, and after a few hours with it, I decided pinpointers were the greatest invention of all time. My biggest fear in life suddenly became the fear of my pinpointer becoming lost or broken.

My unusual attachment to my Garrett Pro-pointer began when I received it as a late, but thoughtful gift from some guy who had

On the morning of February 15, 2013 residents of Chelyabinsk, Russia and neighboring towns were startled by a meteor  which streaked overhead, then exploded spectacularly, shattering windows, damaging buildings, injuring hundreds, and raining down celestial debris.  In an age of cellphone cameras and the internet, news of this remarkable event spread around the world within minutes.

A little over two hundred years earlier, and halfway around the world, a similar event took place in the skies

The Girls Metal Detect the Property of a “Hunted Out” c.1719 Home

Posted on March 15, 2013November 23, 2020 By Detecting Diva 16 Comments on The Girls Metal Detect the Property of a “Hunted Out” c.1719 Home

My fellow Detectorista Stacey has a friend who lives in a home built in 1719, and who graciously gave us permission to hunt the property.

We both knew this was not a virgin property, and had been detected frequently in the past, although not in the past few years.  My interest always gets peaked when someone says a site is “hunted out”, or “there’s nothing there”.  I want to see for myself, because

Try “Rattler” Headphones for Safety in the Field

Posted on March 8, 2013November 23, 2020 By Detecting Diva 2 Comments on Try “Rattler” Headphones for Safety in the Field

A friend of mine related how he was hunting in the woods one day and turned around to see a mangy coyote staring him down.  He had not heard the animal because he had his headphones on.  He scared the coyote away, but it got him thinking about his safety in the field. After that…

Detectorists harassed & discriminated against at Tod’s Point

Posted on March 5, 2013November 23, 2020 By Detecting Diva 9 Comments on Detectorists harassed & discriminated against at Tod’s Point

If you detect at Tod’s Point in Old Greenwich, CT, be aware that detectorists are being singled out, harassed and discriminated against. Unfortunately, there is a park employee (?), who I’ve dubbed “the crazy guy”, because he approached me yelling something about me detecting before I even left the parking lot, and apparently he considers…

Why it’s all Dick Stouts fault:
