    Long handled scoop recommendations please

    I bought a particular scoop but it has proven too heavy for my arm. Do any of you pros have any advice on a good, lightweight scoop that you would recommend that has worked well for you? Thanks

    Anyone near Goldsboro, NC with a BHID 300?

    Just wondering if anyone close by or along the NC coast that has this detector could share some experience with me. Particularly on GB'ing the detector on the wet beach. When I did it at Onslow Beach and Emerald Isle, it was a bit frustrating, in that when I raised the coil about a foot off...

    First time at the beach with the BHID 300 and questions

    Well here is my report. I went to Onslow Beach at Camp Lejeune. I detected 5 solid hours both in the surf and out. The next day, I went out for about another 3 hours, but most of the time at Emerald Isle. My first 5 hours I did not find much, to my suprise. I know beach conditions are...

    I just received a BHID 300 yesterday, the first water detector I have ever owned. This Monday I negotiated with my wife :) and am calling it my "ring challenge" day of hunting.

    considering the Whites Dual Band PI or Beach Hunter ID 300, any experience/advice?

    I have been considering one of these 2 detectors. I understand the PI does not disc at all, and the BHID 300 knocks out the iron mess. What is your preference based on experience? I would use it for freshwater lakes and the NC coast in and out of the water. Thanks and I hope this is not an...

    WWII Dog Tag Found on Seymour Johnson AFB, returned

    Sept of last year I was detecting with my Fisher F-75LTD at a location I had detected many times. This time I slowed down in a somewhat trashy area in some old pecan trees and found a WWII dog tag at about 4 inches. The name was William A Craven, Jr. I did quite a bit of research off and on...

    WWII dogtag found today at Seymour Johnson AFB, NC

    Today I hunted a rather trashy area where I have found some old coins and a couple CW items over the years where an old house once stood on base. I found a dogtag from WWII and I am presently trying to find the owner. Thus far, I have found that a 65+ yr old living in Randolph, NJ ( 25 miles...

    Fisher F-75LTD was fixed by Fisher FOR FREE!

    My 4 yr old broke my LTD. He broke the LCD head where it attaches to the handle so the head was not secure any longer. We just moved, so I could not find my receipt from when I bought it from a dealer about a year ago. I sent it out about 2 to 3 weeks ago. My wife called me at work today and...

    What kind of sealant do I use for my GT S-12 coil cover??

    I have the Sunray S-12 coil on my GT. I was detecting the other day and was receiving alot of false signals. I took the coil cover off and sure enough, there was some dirt floating around there causing the false signals. I have heard of people applying some kind of sealant around the edges of...

    Old electrical insulator mount found

    I found an old iron insulator mount that mounted on a pole and was wondering if they are worth anything to collectors and if anyone has a website to share for further research. I would appreciate any feedback. It was found still on the 4X4 pole. A drawing is the best I could do presently...

    When I turn on my GT, it makes a loud, high beep, help

    I was detecting yesterday for about an hour and all was well. I got to one area and all of a sudden my detector let out a very high pitched beep. There was nothing under the coil. I have never heard such a high pitched tone from my detector before. Right after the high beep, it would let out...

    Hammered coin found in New Bern, NC, ID needed

    I found this hammered coin in New Bern, NC, near downtown, within sight of the water, several years ago. One gentleman I showed the picture to said that he thought it was a Maravedi that was re-stamped and that it probly came from the West Indes, dated around the 15-1600's. I don't know. It...
