    Ship wrecks.

    With the very large tide changes in the UK, even in calm seas there is probably a narrow window of opportunity. Quick search on wreck diving in the UK put this at the top of the search: https://www.bsac.com/uk-diving/wreck-diving/ I'm sure any recovered objects still fall under your Treasure...

    Barber Quarter and Dimes / Frost King Pocket Watch Fob

    As long as I can remember I've enjoyed watching hit and miss engines running, even better when they are under load. There is an ice cream vendor who shows up at local events with an ice cream churn powered by a hit and miss engine. Fun to watch him make ice cream.

    Barber Quarter and Dimes / Frost King Pocket Watch Fob

    Just a couple of years off but very representative of what is being advertised!

    Here I go again... same place, different place, hope the results will be better.....

    Good luck! Last time we were in the Corolla area I got a little bit of jewelry, nothing great but there was some silver. The traffic up that part did not move well when we were there. We did get some Duck Donuts at the original shop in Duck although it was a long line. We also saw some of the...

    Land Ranger Pro

    Welcome back to metal detecting. I have no experience with that detector. All I can say is to read the manual; gather some metal things you have around (such as a selection of coins, jewelry and nails) lay them out on the ground and see how the detector reacts to them with different settings...

    Unusual interaction while detecting today.

    I wasn't going to put this over here, but since it stays on theme ... from a couple years ago: https://www.findmall.com/threads/a-different-request-to-find-something-with-the-metal-detector.379583/

    Unusual interaction while detecting today.

    Yup. Pretty much kids are great, fun to talk with and explain what I'm doing. I've given several of them clad coins I found while they were watching. Only had one problem kid that wanted to step on the coil. After asking him three times to not step on the coil then I stopped detecting the sand...

    Metal Detector Rack

    Done all those, new plugs and wires on it too. When we get back from this next trip, I'll get back to looking at it.

    Reverse Discrimination Question

    If I get a signal in all metal and nothing in discriminate mode, I'll dig ... at least until I can get a good signal in discriminate mode that is either a solid no null and keep digging, or a solid null and walk away. Seems the normal is about four scoops to turn a good signal in all metal but...

    Unusual interaction while detecting today.

    I had a guy in Delaware tell me to stop detecting because his wife had a pacemaker and the detector would interfere with that and put her life at risk. I laughed and he got real mad. Because he was so mad, rather than trying to explain and reason with him, I said OK, where is she on the beach...

    I get to the beach with my AQ then this happens…

    Mine were not glued in. They have little retaining pins pushed in from the side. I used a knife to get under the head of the pins and pried them out. Can you get a dowel pushed in from the top to push what is left in the shaft out the bottom end? Edited to add: Looking at your first picture of...

    I get to the beach with my AQ then this happens…

    I've got no experience with a plastic welder. Hope I am not offered the opportunity to learn on something like Impulse AQ coil ears. ;-) Good luck out there! We were in Fort Lauderdale area pet sitting for family for two and a half weeks. Got to the beach a few times and was finding junk...

    I get to the beach with my AQ then this happens…

    Looks very strong. My only concern is that the next weak spot is probably the coil ears. I think I'd rather break the coupler again than break the coil ears and put the expensive coil at risk. As usual for your work, very well executed and professional looking!

    I get to the beach with my AQ then this happens…

    I had one of mine break in a similar way a couple of years back. I'm pretty sure they sell just the piece. I think I saw a price in a post on a different forum and thought it was expensive for a little piece of molded plastic. I don't remember what the price was. I epoxied in a wooden dowel and...
