    A trip to "stinky" lake, first hunt with MXT.

    I got up the gumption to go hunting locally yesterday. it was a nice spring day here in the heartland. not a terrorist to be seen! So, I took my new Whites MXT out for a learning session at what I call "stinky lake". I call it that because the powers that be put the swimming beach right across...

    I shoveled a mixture of snow and water earlier this afternoon.... Not my idea of good weather. SOOO.....

    I am planning another trip down to florida. The wife doesn't want to stay there for a month, so I'm taking my Astro van camper. I'll have my cell phone. my lCD teeny TV, and snackcooler. Should be able to get one heck of a lot of water hunting in. Planning on heading down that way around tax...

    Question on charging my Excal using battery power from vehicle.......

    Hi all. I will be heading down to Sobe in a few weeks for an extended hunt. To save money, and because the wife has no interest in living in our fifth wheel, I will be sleeping in my van. My question is, can I charge my Excal with the van battery? I mean an overnite 10 hour charge, without...

    My new bling bling made with rings I found.

    While I was down in Florida, I found a sand dollar in my scoop. I hung on to it, and when I got home, had a jeweler cast it. I gave him about 16 dwt of 14K rings to use for the mold. The result is a half dollar sized unique pendant I'm now wearing. Made with gold I found from a cast of a sand...

    Does a piece of jewelry made from found rings qualify as a new find???

    I'm having a sand dollar pendant made from some 14K rings I found. my friend Doug and I compete every year to see who finds the most gold. I told him this should qualify as several finds because it will have the gold from 5-6 rings in it, weighing 3/4 oz. So, do I get credit, or not? ( actually...

    Not MD related, but my new winter activity.

    I'm tired of watching the snow covered landscape up here. I got into wood carving by accident while down in Florida. heres my modest collection of humble efforts to date. its fun, and definitely passes the time.8)

    I am sure loving being retired. Lots of time for "stuff" I've had to put off for years. Now starting to plan second trip to Florida in about 6 weeks..

    I'm heading down to raid the treasure coast vaults at SOBE, etc. I haven't seen the guys down there for almost two years now. :thumbup:

    Another CZ-20/Excal update.......

    The other day I was at a local beach here (Panama City Beach). Hunting with the CZ. I started getting signals all over the place. Turns out that there were small "rust bits" all over the beach area. The CZ was really banging on them. I found other targets, but wasted a lot of time with the good...

    Murphys law ruled the beach here yesterday. LOL

    I went to the beach yesterday for a couple of hours. Visions of gold doubloons, emeralds, old cannons, etc. dancing in my mind. I tuned up the Excal and started sweeping. The first thing I noticed was that it was going off about every ten to fifteen seconds. HMMM.... I knew I'd just recharged...

    Heres my take on beach hunting with three different detectors, Excalibur, CZ-20, and Sovereign Elite. I'm using all three right now in Florida.

    I have all three detectors down here with me. I've used the Sovereign Elite several times so far, and am well pleased with it. It's a bit more awkward with the bagmount and digital meter, but it does a great job of finding and sorting out targets.Only drawback is it isn't waterproof. The...
