    Mexican Beach Detecting

    Excuse the double post - leaving in the morning (5/21) for a beach resort near Puerto Morelos (22 miles south of Cancun). I had no intention of taking my F70 DD detector, but now am considering it. Any advice, cautions, issues or problems flying with a detector and getting it out of US into...

    Another new user seeking advice - DD or elliptical

    As I stated in my whatzit post - and then answered - I hunted really seriously in the early -mid 1980's with a Bounty Hunter Red Baron, which I still have - and it still works. I quit from about 1987 to now - other than helping friends find survey stakes or looking for lost metal objects...

    Old silver coin - 17??

    After a 25-year pause in serious metal detecting, I have retired and just purchased a Fisher F70 to take advantage of the technology that has evolved during that period. That being said, my faithful old Bounty Hunter Red Baron is still in my arsenal, and embarrased many of the Whites 6000 Di...
