New Metal Detector Finds Bottle

I know all of us diggers dream of having a glass detector for finding bottles. It would be the ultimate bottle digging machine...Well, today, my brand new metal detector did just that,detecting a side yard of an early house. It was a nice strong signal and only 5" deep. ARE YOU SHITTING ME! were the words I belted out. I swung that detector over that bottle 100 times and still got that strong beeping signal. Once I removed the beautiful cornflower blue Dickey's from its tomb. I dumped out the dirt and a brass fob and chain were inside.... My dream of owning the first glass detector was crushed. So I will stick to good old fasion LUCK.







After a quick rinse.

    Garrett CX3 here. Computerized touch pad TR / VLF machine. Standard Garrett 8" crossfire coil.

    Paid for itself the first trip out. Metal detecting a flat in the "suburbs" of a Ghost Town in a certain sagebrush state here in the west. Detector went off like their was a tank buried there. First item up; a copper boiler - four feet down. It was a 13' two holer, stacked. Nothing great, (except a couple of tokens)...

    That has been the rule, and not the exception with this machine. Couldn't ask for more.

    I use a Minelab X-Terra 705, Its paid for itself 2(X) since last Thanksiving 2011, Relics, Tons of Coins, Gold and Silver Rings and Nuggets in the desert. In the 1980's when I first got into bottles, my stepson and I found an old outhouse pit from a eating place, it rang off on a Redman Chewing Tobacco sign that was in the hole near the top. Keep the digging pics coming, I haven't dug in a long time, pretty hard to find stuff down here anymore.
