    Shark Teeth While Detecting

    I have a spot I find small Shark teeth and several other types of bones. I even made a special sifter so I could see them better, using white netting. Strange is rarely do I find them way off shore, all our with in 60 foot of the shoreline.

    Is it worth fixing (Excal II)?

    Get some 303® Marine Protectant and keep all well sprayed.

    Excal II Headphone Change

    Tony makes a good set of head phones. Very dependable, comfortable, good performance and fair priced.

    Excal II Headphone Change

    Maybe one of my best ideas, and really it came from a guy in PA (Buggse?) who said, sure would be nice if I could use different head phones on my excalibur (2011). I started looking around and seen it was possible... bought a watch makers lathe.. and started making endcaps of all kinds...

    YouTube Calabash

    And just like that... Not a bad guy, I talked to him once, much calmer talking to him compared to his video's .... where he always seemed like he was on a mission. Never related to his video's but he did put a lot of effort in to proving "His" point, got to give him credit there. Hope he is...

    Black Sand

    Not well, and it can vary. Depends on the make up of the beach. Is the black sand in veins, layers or thick deposits. In the heavy black sand I used all metal with poor results.. Layers where the black sand is showing each tide sand movement, thin black layer... then regular sand, than...

    Built a probe for my Manticore

    Nice work, and a great idea.. Excellent for land hunting.. looks fairly easy to make too .. does either machine interfere with the other? Years ago I think you made a water proof Explorer? That was a piece of art!

    White's Spectra V3i cherry picking gold rings.

    That's some old gold, just a guess the late 1800's to 1920s.

    White's Spectra V3i cherry picking gold rings.

    I've dug hundreds of gold rings (Not in the dirt or with a Whites machine) and got to say you can cherry pick but there is always that chance one is going to come in totally different (And Off) as far as target ID, and that based on many things, design, size, shape, gold purity, if its broken...

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    I would take 11 gold anytime out of 22 rings found, I think that is excellent! You did great! Even though many think everyone had gold rings back in the day and did not wear junk rings here is one of my better days in the chesapeake bay at a beach that was open in the 50/60/70/80s.. since I...

    Can I still find a coil

    If your not using it near water that cover should be fine. But keeping it 100% water proof could be a issue. I would give it a new cable, sealing the area where the coil wire goes into the coil is very important. And really not that hard. I think Mel Parkers pictures explain how the best. 1...

    Be careful using discrimination with Manticore on the beach!

    The goods of getting top know your beaches and what to do when confronted with harsh conditions. Thanks for sharing! Looks like red with black sand viens o_O, tuff hunting that stuff I'm sure with anything except a PI?..... I only have one spot with the (Ironish?) redish sand, very little...
