    ID Excel - loose nuts in control box

    I dissembled this unit to ship it to someone, and when I took out the two screws that hold the control box to the arm, two nuts released INSIDE the unit. How do I get this thing open to retrieve the nuts? I looked in the battery flaps, they are sealed, I took off the speaker grille with no...

    using the F75 magnetite bar graph

    I'm VERY interested in how this graph works. Being able to easily map out fill dirt, old garden boundaries, etc. would help form a hunting strategy with each new property. I can imagine how cool it would be to see all the numbers on a paper grid of the property, then draw lines between similar...

    Back to the old farm with the Coin$trike

    After a quick 1/2 hour walk-around with the Excel the first time a week ago, it finally rained and softened up the ground. I did a couple hours with the C$ tonight. I would've found more, but for the first half hour I had all the notches turned on by mistake and was wondering where all the...

It's filled with lead and two wires run through it and used to come out of the top... there is some kind of worn off tip at the pointed end.. could it be an old plumb-bob? The lead looks to be in layers inside... the teenager I...

    Today's finds...

    I went to a home I just got permission to hunt, a house in Lampeter, PA built in 1790. Chatted with the owners for a good hour or so, then with two people tagging along took a brief walk swinging outside the house. I was using the Excel, no headphones, sens at 9 and no discrimination. When I...

    The work pays off!

    My preparation for this season has yielded results! First I scrubbed my county tax website for dates that houses were built in the county, then geocoded the addresses for lat/longs, then made Google maps. Two days ago I sent permission letters to 11 of the oldest houses in my area. I have 26...

    Finding out when houses were built

    I came up with a way to automatically grab the age of every building in my county from the Internet! Wow am I excited... now instead of pouring over old maps and matching up houses with newer maps to find out which old houses are still in my area, I can simply sort my list by date and focus on...

    shallow river hunting

    Hi All, I have been a land swinger for many years (currently have a Coin$trike and Excel), and I finally "dove" in and bought a 1280X 8" Aquanaut. I'm first going to hunt a very shallow river/stream (30 yards wide tops) this weekend where a ferry travelled and was the location of an amusement...
