    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    In the mid nineties almost all my rings found were gold with some platinum and some silver. And then the tungsten carbide and titanium rings started showing up. I recently came back from vacation and found 22 rings. Only 11 were gold , 6 of those were only 10 carat. However the other 5 were 14k...

    Excal does good !!!

    I do enjoy my excal , bought it used locally a few years ago for $900. It paid for itself first time out with it . Previously used a CZ20 which was also very good but I dropped it and never got it repaired.

    Excal does good !!!

    Yes , rocks can be difficult and frustrating. There’s a beach I sometimes hunt that is probably full of gold due to the vacationers but it’s rocky and the water a bit choppy . I’ve only ever recovered 2 gold rings there .

    Excal does good !!!

    i don’t remember what brand mine is but it has withstood a lot of punishment over the years. I have a sunspot too but not a travel version. Maybe I’ll look into getting a travel handle for that one . Cheers

    Excal does good !!!

    Just spent last two weeks at a holiday resort and found 21 rings. 11 are gold , some have diamonds. My scoop broke last week and I got it welded at the resort but it finally snapped off this morning. Can’t complain I’ve had it for 20 years

    Fisher CZ20 needs repair

    Does anyone know if Fisher still repair CZ20's ? I have left a couple of messages but have had no reply from Fisher. I dropped my control box on hard surface and it broke something inside . Been using my Excel ever since .

    Can Dogs hear our metal detectors ?

    I don’t know about dogs hearing our metal detectors but years ago I was detecting underwater in about 5’ water in the Caribbean all by myself at a resort early in the morning when I was surprised by a Dolphin approaching me and looking at me face to face for at least a minute, which seemed like...

    Excalibur strikes again !

    Had an hour in the water yesterday, found a few coins initially then got 7 rings in the last 30 minutes. Would have stayed longer but was feeling cold . The engagement ring is 18k white gold.

    Minelab Equinox 800 - Civil War Relic Hunting - Finding What the other Detectors Missed

    Man drowns while metal detecting

    There's a picture of him in the water on a news website. He's wearing a wet suit but no scuba gear. !0 feet is a bit too deep imo to free dive if you're metal detecting. I would have at least used a hookah rig at that depth or alternatively stick to a depth where you can stand up and breath if...
