    Metal Detector Rack

    Should have said fuel injection and electronic ignition ... no points either.

    Metal Detector Rack

    It is fuel injected and it is not bad fuel or from sitting with fuel in it. I'm leaning towards it being an intake manifold air leak. Just have not found it yet.

    Metal Detector Rack

    That ease of loading is why we picked up a 16' aluminum jon boat. It is much lighter than the 16' fiberglass boat we had in Maryland and it is easy to nose the jon boat right onto the beach and easy to push off again. I have one spot where I've said I'm going to put the boat up on the beach and...

    The New Magnetar 9000 Model debut video

    Nice to see they are getting a PI to market. It is aimed at the market where Minelab high end gold field detectors live. Thanks for sharing the video. If it is finding micro stuff, I don't want that at the beach. I posted before about using my Fisher F75 at the beach and wasting too much time...

    A Few Gold From the Winter

    It is what is known as a Claddagh ring, a traditional Irish ring. The three features (heart, crown and clasped hands) represent love, loyalty and friendship.

    What is the absolute best metal detector for metal detecting in freshwater? (lakes, creeks, and rivers)

    For a while I was using my Fisher F-75 LTD for wet sand hunting because it is a pretty good detector and would ground balance to the wet salt sand. What made me park it when detecting the beach was the amount of very small non-iron bits it would find. It would find small sequins in the sand that...

    What is the absolute best metal detector for metal detecting in freshwater? (lakes, creeks, and rivers)

    Neither the CZ or Excalibur are very sensitive to very small gold. Running in discrimination mode, both will identify some pieces of small gold as low tone (CZ speak for iron) or null (Excal speak for iron). Both are good in saltwater. The lowest discrimination setting on the Excal identifies...

    Fisher AQ PI, Another gold for the pile!

    Nice! Is that a shot gun shell in the upper left? I always enjoyed finding the shells and seeing if I could read the stamping and roughly date them from the stamping.

    What is the absolute best metal detector for metal detecting in freshwater? (lakes, creeks, and rivers)

    Tiger Shark has no support now as the factory has been closed for years. I have used one (actually still have one sitting in the closet) and it is not as deep detecting as either my Fisher CZs or Minelab Excaliburs in fresh water. I have not used a Manticore. From what I've read, the Manticore...

    Hunt

    Nice. I've had a couple of the five inch coils for the CZ and did not find them to be able to detect very deep although in very target dense ground, they do well separating targets.

    New find, just looking for suggestions

    Using google images I'm not finding any exact matches. There are a few suggested matches that are "wheel crosses" or very old bronze pendant from the early years of the Christianization of England. Also had some suggestions of Viking era things. Perhaps enlist the help of a historian in your...

    The 8 inch Tornado cable problem

    Even finding one, let alone three is a rare occurrence these days. Congrats!

    I doubt it but did you hear of anyone crazy enough.......

    I found a map with mile posts down to 12 and it looks like you might be right. I did not capture the mile posts my memory. Last couple of trips we made to the outer banks, I came back with some junk jewelry and wife found sea glass and tumbled bits of shells for use in craft projects.

    Some unusual finds at the beach

    I would venture a hypothesis that the alloy used, and the temperatures of the particular crematorium was at, put things close enough to melting point that the metal flowed some and the ashes became part of the new "mold" for the metal. But that is only a guess.

    Some unusual finds at the beach

    I think they are from scattered cremation remains. A couple of searches on teeth removal prior to cremation indicates what your uncle says is not the norm. "So can you get your gold back before the body is cremated? Maybe, but it's not really cost effective. Only licensed dentists are allowed...
