    Chairs & Water

    The days with small waves and long period between waves are helpful too.

    Chairs & Water

    I have seen these on the beach: https://www.accessrec.com/pvc-beach-wheel-chairs Plastic, so will not interfere with the detector trying to search for targets ... not sure how one might maneuver one by yourself. Possibly could motorize one with battery and motor mounted high in the back frame...

    Beach Sweeper

    Ad says it goes four inches deep but the video looks more like two inches. Once the tide covers the day's drops much of the heavier rings can sink deeper than that and the sweeper is not cleaning up anything in the water ... which is where I do most of my beach detecting. Note how it is not...

    Guess who left old batteries too long in their Nokta Impact?

    I use either lemon juice or vinegar on corroded alkaline battery terminals. Then clean up with distilled water. Picketwire is correct for alkaline batteries. Baking soda is for lead acid battery terminal clean up.

    Need parts please. Fisher CZ-7a QuickSilver.

    I'd set it up with AA batteries rather than 9 volts. Batteries will cost a lot less that way. Although the manual says it uses one 9 volt battery per side. https://www.colonialmetaldetectors.com/assets/images/Product_Manuals/Fisher_Products/CZ-7a_Manual_english.pdf

    Need parts please. Fisher CZ-7a QuickSilver.

    For the coil hardware; get some nylon hardware at a hardware store. The picture looks like a battery box is there. Is it just a cover missing? Should be able to test it without the covers.

    Anyone else??

    Reminds me a bit about the couple of times I've been detecting a crowded beach and someone would throw a coin somewhat in front of the direction I've been moving to see it I get it.

    Has SMF reached the depth of P.I. detectors like the Infinium and Seahunter?

    Would like to see a pulse width adjustment added to the AQ so that the bigger pieces of gold can be lit up more. Great videos by the way!

    Yard sale gold

    Found these 14K earrings in a box of jewelry at a yard sale. Got them for $4. They weigh 2.6 grams and wife loves them. Have no idea if the little stones are any good or not, but they do show colors refracted in the sunlight.

    Which Excal are you using now? Your Stealth Excal?

    Has SMF reached the depth of P.I. detectors like the Infinium and Seahunter?

    I remember the testing you did with that CZ and how deep it was. On the deep gold it heard it well but went full low tone (iron) on it in discriminate mode. Shortly after that I started hunting my CZs in autotune (all metal) and learning to listen to signal width to help identify targets. Thank...

    continuing thought on lack of beach finds......

    Chairs and umbrellas are rented all along Daytona Beach. They are so expensive to rent that when we flew into the area, we would buy chairs and an umbrella at walmart and give them away to others on the beach on the last day of the trip. Now that we are retired, we drive there and take our own.

    continuing thought on lack of beach finds......

    I've seen ice cream carts on the beach (the ones where one person is pushing them up and down the beach looking for sales) where they have card swipe terminals for sales transactions. Talked with one of the gals last summer and she said they prefer that because it reduces the chances of being...
