    Nighthunters Beware

    "It will never happen to me" How many times have we said those words? Last night at 10:30pm I was leaving the beach after nighthunting for about an hour. It was dark at that section of the beach because of the sea turtle nesting season. I was leaving the beach and was walking up the driving ramp...

    Always Listen To Your Better-Half

    I'm a guy who believes that one can NEVER have too many detectors. But I've learned that one should listen to the little woman, also. Well, my better half had indicated that I really should sell my CZ-20 since it is the "backup" machine, and if my Excal were to break, I could use her Excal till...

    Sov GT saves the day (again)

    Hi All, First I'll provide a little background. I work for a government agency in Florida that regulates and monitors petroleum contamination cleanup. Part of the program is the sampling of monitor wells to determine the extent of petroleum contamination in the groundwater. Occasionally, a...

    Detector Pro Deep Woods Headphones -Long Post

    I just received my new Detector Pro Grey Ghost Deep Woods headphones for my Sovereign GT. Previously I'd been using the "part of the package" headphones that I've gotten with detector purchases. Now, the inexpensive headphones do work, but I've found them to be less than comfortable for long...

    Look Out Lloyd Bridges......

    Hunting the beaches here in Daytona Beach has turned up some nice finds but I've been told by some long time local hunters that the BEST stuff is usually found in the water during the winter months when the seas stir up the bottom. So I dropped several hints to my lovely wife that for my...

    Hit Daytona Beach at Low Tide Today

    Got out to the beach about 2 hrs before low tide. There were some small tidal pool cuts. I didn't expect too much but the SurfGods were kind. 1-10K ladies diamond & Opal ring, 1-10K plated wedding band, 1942 quarter, a 8 KL earring, and a 1950ish Ford car key-sure wish I could find that car...

    Low Tide-Daytona Beach

    Hit the beach this morning at low tide. It looked like about a foot of sand had been washed out. My Child-Bride was trying out her new Excal 1000 (couldn't wait for Christmas, hehe.) I'm sure glad that I wasn't swinging a PI machine, I haven't seen that many small pieces of iron & trash laying...

    Two Firsts !!!

    Turkey Day and Friday produced two firsts for me. Daytona Beach has finally started to behave like it should. On Turkey Day my child bride and I hit the beach at low tide. I scored a cheap man's watch (that still works) and my first Mercury Dime (1943). Both were just above the low tide line...

    My New/Old Sovereign XS-2

    I recently picked up an older XS-2 with a (never used) 550 meter, 8" coil and 12.5" EXcelerator coil for a quite reasonable price. I'm quite impressed with its detection depth and overall performance. BUT, this puppy is so front heavy (read unbalanced) that my arm cramps after only a few minutes...

    Well, I Took The Plunge !!!

    Now I have no excuses for not finding goodies. At least that is what my better-half is saying. I purchased an Excalibur 1000 today. I didn't get to go to the beach (darn it) as I had to travel to South Florida & deliver a generator and as much gas/supplies as my truck would hold to my 3 children...

    Honest Opinions, Please

    Hi Folks, I would like to get some honest objective opinions on some water machines. I live in Daytona Beach and am in the market for a water machine. I've previously owned both the White's SurfMaster PI Pro Diver (Zero Buoyancy Coil) and Beachhunter ID. Both performed quiet well. I am also...
