    Detecting Cabo

    Hola from Cabo, OK, Figured I would give you all a quick report from Cabo San Lucas. Detecting SUCKS here. First, there is no swimming on Pacific side. Few people even use the beach to sunbath. Found a few coins on the beach outside our resort but not much else. I hit a small beach on the...

    Friday's Hunt - Silver

    Managed a little silver ring and a watch today. The watch was my very first target less than 5 minutes into the hunt. That is my third diving knife from this beach. I also found a bag with shot in it. Seems the diver's use them to add a little weight when diving.

    Gold and First NITRO

    Headed to the beach at 1 AM to catch a 4 AM low tide. Full moon, shining off an rippling ocean. Even if I had not found what I did I would have loved the hunt. My first ring of the night is the man's 14K white gold. It has a stone (not sure what type) and 4 diamond chips on each side. Then...

    Excalibur Falsing Question

    I was out with my Excalibur yesterday and it started to false quiet a bit everytime I hit the wet sand and when crazy in the water. As soon as I moved to dry sand it seemed to get better. I checked all my settings and even tried different ones with no luck. I do not feel it is water related as...

    Sunday AM Search W/Nuts

    Just had to get out even though tides are all wrong and I new beaches would be picked over by the time I got there. Water was high and there were three other people working the beach. Less than a foot of wet sand to search. My machine was acting weird (again). Seemed it did not like being one...

    Second Machine (UPDATE)

    This is an update to an earlier post I made on getting a second machine. (my first machine is an Excalibur 1000) First, thanks all for your advice. I took it all in and other factors. My final two choices were the Elite or GT, with GT leading the list by a bit. Yesterday, while on eBay, I saw...

    Liquidating Finds

    OK. I know this is a touchy subject for some but I need some input. If you do not want to post it, please send in a private message. I am starting to get a small collection or rings. Nothing mind blowing yet but so have some gold and silver. First, where do you get your stuff appraised? I...

    Quick Lesson Learned Today

    I know you old timers at this sport will say "But of course" to this but I am learning something new every time I go out so thought I would pass this on. Was detecting this morning and hit a faint signal. Dug three scoops and checked, signal gone from hole but when I checked scoop, nothing. I...

    Excalibur Battery Help

    OK. Just got my machine back from repair. Tossed the battery on for a 6 hours charge before heading out detecting. About 1 1/2 hours into the hunt, the machine started to make a "WAAAAAAaaaa" sound every minute or so. This sound would happen if the coil was moving or not. I got out the new...

    Surf/Smurf God Missed Me

    Got my detector back from being repaired after two weeks and headed out a 3 AM to catch low tide. My first find was the blue SMURF bear. It has a bell in it. For a bear to find a bear, could this be a good sign? (he will travel with me on my future hunt). I ended up the 3 hour hunt with two...

    Pull Tabs for Mike

    MIke, Could not post a picture on the other string so here it is. This is a typical for a dry sand hunt here. This was all found in about 3 hours. And I am not sure I kept all the pull tabs. This was a good day as there was gold (note the gold pull tab)

    Second Machine

    Hello, I have posted this on other forums and so far had not gotten many replies. Would like some help. I currently own an Excalibur 1000. Have used it for a year now and love it. I feel I am finally starting to understand what it is saying to me. Recently I had to send it to the shop. Of...
