    New Vortex vx 9

    I certainly will give you a holler when I make a trip your direction. I did make a mistake and said fairport when I really meant headlands beach. Any permits necessary for beach hunting there. I was usually there mid-late sept. No one ever batted an eye towards me. Mark ( Ohio )

    New Vortex vx 9

    Truth be told, I"ve done better at fairport just because of the shear size of the place, but it take me an additional 30+ minutes to get there . Walnut is a straight shot for me.

    New Vortex vx 9

    whoa... that's alot of detectors you have Rick.. I was once like you too, but got help LMAO. !! Just down to 3 now, but over the last 25+ yrs I figure I"ve had around 35-40 ? Maybe more. Here's hoping for that early spring thaw. Mark ( ohio )

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

    Felix... I'm optimistically hopeful the labor day week will show more finds in the sand. The crowds should be still relatively large tho the kids should be back to school by then. The nox 600 will find it if its in the sand. Mark ( ohio )

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

    Bigger crowds probably... but the cost is $$$$$ that time of the yr.. After labor day massive price reduction..

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

    this is more of what it used to be like.... 25 yrs ago when the family started going to OBX, I could/would come home with roughly 25-30 bucks in found change and a gold ring...fast forward to today, ( 2023,2024 ) maybe 6-7 bucks in change total and a junk ring or two. So, as was already...

    The New Garrett VORTEX VX9 Just Got A Whole Lot Better!

    Leatherneck... you are a positive poster and indeed a big fan of the vx9, so I'll make the assumption you are an owner and operator of the unit. Are you in the states or an overseas user ? I personally am done spending 1000 bucks and more on detectors so the price point on this new garrett...

    Where did all the metal detectors go.

    Well Mike, heres my spin of the story... Back in 1994 when I started, my wife got me my very first detector as a Christmas present. ( a Whites 4900 d black box unit ). I had a whites dealer about 15 miles from the house so I visited him and made a deal/purchase on a whites silver eagle. This guy...

    More question on the Vortex

    Rick. those are all great questions which I hope someone here can give factual answers to. Me personally, I would call garrett directly, voice your concerns and have them put you in touch with someone in tech/development... I did this many times dealing with whites detectors. ( they were very...

    Vortex V9 is going to be here Jan 09

    I'm pretty confident you'll be ok with the new detector. Looking forward to a good report from you. I'm really looking to see how dunkable the unit is going to be. I'm still a bit chicken to submerge the nox 600 even tho its a later run unit. Mark ( ohio )

    Fisher Cz5

    I had a cz5 also, tho it was many, many moons ago.. If I remenber correctly I went from a whites silver eagle to the cz5.. Yes, my deep finds did increase substantially, but as was already mentioned I got pretty discussed digging deep iron sounding like good silver hits. Pulling a rusted iron...

    Cruise Line PROHIBITS Metal Detectors

    Mike, you are absolutely right on your last sentence statement.. Age and knee surgeries have made me a bit slower than my better yrs too. A HEAVY beach scoop would put a world of hurting on a diarrhea mouth runnin knucklehead for sure. Glad he didn't confront your wife tho, then it would have...

    Cruise Line PROHIBITS Metal Detectors

    Who the F** was this guy telling you to leave a public beach ?? Some A-Hole trying to intimidate you.. NO WAY would have I pacified this guy by telling him you turn over your stuff to the life guards.. My first response to him would have been who the F** do you think your talking to ??? If...
