Well, I in the process of pulling another book project together which will not be brand-specific but rather cover the hobby in a way that differs from past books . . . . what I was hoping some of the Findmall members might be able to provide are:

1) Find Photos: People like to see what you can find out there and there have been some super finds posted here and elsewhere. In all of my past books a big piece has always been the photos of finds along with a short description of the find details (what they find is, type of site it came from, detector used, etc.). If you have a some finds you would like to share with other treasure hunters worldwide, I'd be interested in seeing if I can work the photo(s) into the book and ensure that you receive credit with a byline.

2) Brand-specific Tips: While the book is not going to be brand-specific; i.e., the title will cover the hobby not a particular model, there will be brands covered and having specific tips on brands / models are being sought. Do you have a trick for "super tuning" your favorite detector? Do you have a technique that lets you hit those deep coins in hot ground? Do you have a particular coil that works better than the stock coil for certain applications? Are there accessories that really boost performance? Is there a particular model from your favorite brand that stands the test of time and is a "killer" for your style / type of hunting? Any tip or technique along these lines would be welcomed and again, full credit will be given . . . . . care for some "notoriety" among your peers?

If you would like to submit any examples of this information, it would really be appreciated and the final product will be more interesting and comprehensive for it . . . . .

If you have any questions on what information I'm looking for, you can either send me a PM through Findmall or drop me a direct E-Mail at 2009Book@sabischbooks.com. If you want to send attachments, please use the 2009Book@sabischbooks.com address.

Thanks in advance . . . .

I have been contemplating getting into metal detecting for sometime now, and have been researching quite a few different units. I finally settled on DetectorPro, not only for the value for $$$, but because of the electronics being housed in the earphones, just seems very practical and innovative. Anyway, I am trying to decide what model to buy for my first unit, and it's between the Wader, and the PI. I will be hunting a pretty wide range of terrain, and I need something that will work effectively in a variety of environments, and I was hoping you guys would be willing to dispense some sage advice.
I live in the hIll Country of Texas, within walking distance of a very heavily used recreational river/lake. The section of river near my house is all less than 3-4 feet deep, and very heavily traveled by swimmers, so I would really like to get into the water and see what's down there. I have lived around here a long time, and NEVER seen anyone detect down there. Additionally, I would also like to hunt the dry land adjacent to the lake/river as well.
And finally I spend A LOT of time down on the Gulf Coast, and have access to a ton beach and shallow saltwater. So I really need something that works on land, and in salt and fresh water. I am really leaning towards the wader, but the PI looks attractive because of it's depth capabilities. I understand with the PI, I'll dig a lot more unwanted stuff, but I am not at all that deterred by digging some extra trash to gain the depth.

Any help you guys would provide would be much appreciated, and thanks in advance for sharin so much info. on this forum!

I didn't find any valuables this morning. I guess you have to expect a bad day now and then. Although you can't really say it was a bad day. The weather was great and the girls were pretty.

I have a Wader coming from Mr. Bill. I'm looking forward to trying it out next week when I go camping at Hunting Island.

Take care.

Jeepers my hands were freezing, should have taken gloves. Water temp was
warm enough to go into. But, not at that point, just to damn cold out. Figured maybe after the sun came out and warmed things up a bit.

Hunted the dry sands for about 1 1/2 hours and found the bulk of everything pictured along with lots of deck screws and roofing nails, sterling ring. Probably from the board walk, stairs and the bath house that was built. Nothing was found more than 5-6" deep, seems to be about my wife's Waders depth limit.

Sun came up warmed up some , slight breeze, changed over to my shorts and entered the water. About another hour managed to hunt all the water area.
A few coins, a sterling butterfly ring, a marble, religious key nails, bottle caps.

I did notice after about 45 minutes water hunting, the Wader sounded like the batteries were getting low. Went back to dry beach hunting and the Wader still sounded like low batteries. Hmmmm, the batteries were brand new fresh set right out of the pack. Just wondering if there maybe a coil connector problem. Will wait for several days and take the Wader out again.]]> Sven DetectorPro Products ForumThu, 24 Sep 2009 16:21:50 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?11,1055599,1055599#msg-1055599 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?11,1055599,1055599#msg-1055599 RICKinFLA DetectorPro Products ForumMon, 21 Sep 2009 11:37:28 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?11,1055555,1055555#msg-1055555 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?11,1055555,1055555#msg-1055555 metalfoot DetectorPro Products ForumMon, 21 Sep 2009 15:39:34 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?11,1055035,1055035#msg-1055035 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?11,1055035,1055035#msg-1055035 RICKinFLA DetectorPro Products ForumMon, 21 Sep 2009 21:27:16 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?11,1054352,1054352#msg-1054352 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?11,1054352,1054352#msg-1054352 Bugar In.

The PI ran super smooth with the 8 inch coil. I had it set a hair below the highest frequency, volume 3/4 and threshold where I heard a nice steady hum and there was not a false signal nor threshold warble when entering the water or when the waves crashed on the coil or moved over it. At the highest freq/delay setting, it was a bit unstable when hitting the suds, but settled down when the coil was submerged, and also ran nice and smooth on the wet sand at the highest setting. I was happy with that. Even when I was scrubbing the sand and accidently hitting the sand with my coil, the machine did not false. Big plus.

I got some clad, the usual iron junk, some deep bottle caps and a nice pair of stainless steel needle nose pliers, which I will happily use when surf fishing ! Those pliers were DEEP ! I hit a deep pull tab and it sounded really nice...a good sign. When I hit the deep pull tab ( first tab of the day), it was a sound I did not hear all day, so I knew it was something of interest and not iron or wire. Dug 3 or 4 deep tabs that hit hard. The bottle caps are still really tough to not dig...some sound really sweet.

Swung for about 3 hours, no arm fatigue what so ever. One of the best things about that 8 inch coil is that I can stick it down into th hole and sweep along the sides of it and it pin points dead on. All targets today were scooped up right where it pin pointed and I did no lose any targets.

I also, by the end of the day, started to figure out how the wire and deeper iron was sounding. It did not make that clear, crisp sound and really sounded washed out.

Some really deep pieces of iron and wire, the threshold on those targets was weaker, then stronger during different sweep angles while the deeper non- ferrous targets seemed to have the same amplitude in the threshold when sweeping from different angles. Maybe it was me, but it seemed the garbage iron and wire targets that were really deep had a different effect on the threshold than the deep non-ferrous targets. Also, the shallow iron bits and nails did double hit at a certain point when I swept the target from all angles, but I was digging everything to make sure.

It seems easier to hear the changes/nuances of the threshold sound and size up the targets with the smaller coil than the larger 11 inch open ( from what I can remember), but I know I will order the larger coil soon because I am a detector junky !

Can't wait to go back out again. I think I just missed the prime time 2 days ago since today it looked like sand was moved back in. My friend, who went with me today, has gone out the past few days and gotten about 60-70 coins and other targets each day, and today all we managed from the 3 of us was about 25 coins.

No pics...I think we all know what beat up zincs, a few green quarters and lots of iron junk and rusty bottle caps look like ! Maybe I will post a pic of the pliers ! HA !

I was in a place with lots of iron as well as zinc pennies today, so after a couple of hours and about 2 dozen bobby pins I did change to my CZ-5. I didn't dig zinc pennies or iron. I found several coins, but no gold with the CZ.

I went to the web site:

http://www.dendritics.com/scales/metal-calc.asp?WeightU=1&Units=g&Alloy=9K&PrOzt=&CurrencyN=USD&Markup=0

and put the weight and purity of the rings and it came out to $502 worth. Yee-Haw!!

I can see now that I need a Wader or Pirate Pro for these trashy places. I usually only wade up to my waist.

Which one do y'all suggest.
