Free Metal Detecting Tips

How Deep Will The Minelab Sovereign Go?
Author: Internet Tip
Although I know the Sov will do 10" on a dime and I have no doubt that you are telling it exactly the way you see it, two things about your story make me a little dubious. 1.If it's certain that the ground had never been disturbed, then it's highly unlikely that a '67 could have been that deep, especially when it's nearby companions were at 3-4". 2.You say it sounded the same as the others before you dug. It shouldn't have. The pitch should have been the same, but the strength of the signal should have been much lower. There are several phenomena you have to be careful of when extracting a coin from a hole to determine it's exact depth. I've had many a coin's dissapear after breaking the ground. There are two major reasons thishappens. The coin, of course, doesn't really disappear. What happens is, it either sticks to the side of the hole on edge, drastically reducing or eliminating the signal, or it drops deep enough into the hole to be out of range. When it disappears, remove ALL loose dirt from the hole plus just a tad more at the bottom (if the hole isn't deep enough for this problem, then it's stuck in the side). If that doesn't get it, scrape the sides of the hole all the way around a couple of times to get it off the side. On fainter, repeatable good signals, I generally dig very carefully to keep either of these things from happening. I like to know how deep my machine is going for good coins. My depth test for the Sov was on an island park where the soil was always saturated near the shore. This kept the topsoil-like pudding at times, allowing coins to sink faster than normal. I got pulltabs there at 6 and 7 inches. When I finally found the very faint repeatable signal I was looking for, I carefully dug to expose the coin. I wanted to see its imprint in the undisturbed soil underneath it when I removed it (I've seen this lots of times, but usually in the plug or the edge of the hole). When I got to the '37 Merc, I was up to my elbow in the hole. I didn't have a ruler, but it measures 14-15" from my elbow to the second joint of my fingers. That's where the dime was. At the very least, IKNOW it was over 12". Remember, there was also very good soil moisture on this dig. That's important for good depth, too. For signals that still read good after digging 12 inches and not finding it, WIDEN THE HOLE. There are several phenomena that can cause you to be off center enough to miss the target.
...

I'll never forget the first time I swung a metal detector and it BEEPED! I dug up my treasure and I held that shiny circle of metal in my hand--a quarter!! Wow! A whole twenty-five cents! Since then I have treasured hunted all over the world. This site has info on metal detecting magazine and hopefully anything else you need to know about metal detecting, treasure hunting, and finding gold!

Good luck!

Ghost Town Accommodations in Garnet, Montana

Montana's most intact ghost town wasn't built to last. Enterprising miners were more interested in extracting the riches below ground than building above. As a result, buildings grew quickly, most lacking foundations. They were small and easy to heat.

Yet, a century after Garnet emerged, remnants of the town stayed hidden high in the Garnet Mountain Range east of Missoula. It was named for the semi-precious ruby-colored stone found in the area.

Garnet was a good place to live. The surrounding mountains were rich in gold-bearing quartz. There was a school. The crime rate was low. Liquor flowed freely in the town's many saloons. The bawdy houses did brisk business. Missoula and Deer Lodge were just close enough for necessary supplies.

In the 1860s miners migrated north from played-out placer mines in California and Colorado. The Garnet Mountains attracted miners who collected the gold first by panning, and then by using rockers and sluice boxes as the free-floating gold diminished.

Placer mining of gold or other minerals is done by washing the sand, gravel, etc. with running water, but by 1870 most area placer mining was no longer profitable. Although miners had located gold-bearing quartz veins, the lack of decent roads and refined extracting and smelting techniques made further development unfeasible at that time. Silver mines elsewhere drew the miners out of the Garnets.

In 1895, the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act set off a panic throughout the region. Silver miners closed, and within weeks thousands of unemployed miners were on the move. This event, combined with improved technology, led to a renewed interest in gold mining in the Garnets. Miners began a steady trickle back.

At the head of First Chance Gulch in 1895, Dr. Armistead Mitchell erected a stamp mill to crush local ore. Around it grew the town of Garnet. The town was originally named Mitchell, but in 1897 it became known as Garnet.

Soon after Mitchell erected his mill, Sam Ritchey hit a rich vein of ore in his Nancy Hanks mine (first photo above) just west of town. The "boom" began. By January 1898 nearly 1,000 people resided in Garnet. Four stores, four hotels, three livery stables, two barber shops, a union hall, a school with 41 students, a butcher shop, a candy shop, a doctor's office, an assay office, and thirteen saloons, comprised the town. Eager miners and entrepreneurs built quickly and without planning. A haphazard community resulted. Most of the buildings stood on existing or future mining claims. About twenty mines operated.

After 1900 many mine owners leased their mines out, the gold became scarcer and harder to mine. The Nancy Hanks yielded about $300,000 worth of gold. An estimated $950,000 was extracted from all the mines in Garnet by 1917.

By 1905, many of the mines were abandoned and the town's population had shrunk to about 150. A fire in the town's business district in 1912 destroyed many commercial buildings and death dealt a blow to the remnants of Garnet. The coming of World War I drew most remaining residents away to defense-related jobs. By the 1920s Garnet was a ghost town. Cabins were abandoned, furnishings included, as though residents were merely vacationing. F.A. Davey still ran the store however, and the hotel stood intact.

In 1934 when President Roosevelt raised gold prices from $16 to $32 an ounce, Garnet revived. A new wave of miners moved into abandoned cabins and began reworking the mines and dumps.

World War II drew the population away again. The use of dynamite for domestic purposes was curtailed, making mining difficult. Garnet again became a ghost town. Once again F.A. Davey and a few others remained.

Several new cabins were constructed following the war, and in 1948 an auction was held with items from the Davey store. Much remained however, and souvenir hunters soon stripped the town not only of loose items, but of doors, woodwork, wallpaper, and even the hotel stairway.

The future of this historic town now depends on the work of volunteers and contributions from the public..

Society in Garnet differed from that of earlier mining camps. While single males were predominant in the early mining camp, Garnet had a larger number of families. Social life therefore was quite different. Although drinking, gambling, and houses of prostitution were still enjoyed by men, married women were far more numerous in Garnet. They rarely visited the saloons and only went to the business district to shop for necessary food and clothing. Also, unlike earlier camps, a school house was established in Garnet soon after it's founding.

A variety of social activities were available to the residents of Garnet. Family-oriented activates, such as dinner parties, card games and hay rides were common. Family picnics, fishing trips, and shopping trips took place during the summer months. Sleigh-rides, sledding parties, and skiing were favorites in the wintertime.

One of the largest community celebrations in Garnet was the annual Miners Union Day gathering held at the Miners Union Hall. Many of the social functions wee held at the Hall, which was completed in June of 1898. Community dances were held there every Saturday night, and in the early years of Garnet's history, there were often three or four social functions a week. The Hall with its one large room and small stage often was scarcely large enough for the crowd.
