    Cobra Beach Magnet FS

    I got this detector used a couple months ago and have only used it on dry land. The seals appear to be good to me, and I had in mind to use it in the water, but have changed directions. I'm not exactly sure what to ask so let's start at $250.00 or best offer. I don't have pics yet but will get...

    Has anybody air tested a cache?

    I did this with my Xterra so I could know what to expect with various coils. I filled a jar full of silver coins and promptly found out the steel lid was probably the biggest factor in detection depth! Anyway, has anybody done any testing with any Tesoro models? What were the results depth-wise...

    Anybody have a Diablo uMax collecting dust?

    For some reason I can't get this detector out of my head. I've looked off an on for one over the last couple years but there aren't many to be had! Also, would anybody know what a generally fair price for one is?

    So what's up with the TigerShark?

    Are the connectors still an issue? These units seem to be out of stock everywhere I've looked! After discovering that the Tiger is essentially a waterproof Bandido, I've been scheming about how to get my hands on one..

    Do you only post CERTAIN finds?

    Like only your finds from private hunting spots? Just wondering if anybody has posted something really good found in a local park, etc. only to find that same place worked over like nobody's business next time they go?

    1st silver of '10...

    A sterling silver spoon! LOL.. not exactly what I had in mind. A local group from another forum got together in south Dallas to hunt a neighborhood that is now gone. The nieghborhood shows on a mid 50's map but was razed some time ago. The unfortunate thing about this hunt was that we noticed...

    Never fails-just when I DON'T have the detector...

    I went to meet a friend for some hunting yesterday-pig hunting that is. He still had some work to do so I decided to check out some public land for pigs since I'm supposed to be finding a place for some friends to hunt. I scouted and didn't see much in the way of signs but still had time to...

    What adventures are you planning for '10?

    Well I'm sitting here in the house because it's raining, ruining another free day that I could've used for detecting! Anyway, as I look ahead I've got a beach trip planned, one or more prospecting trips, a couple cache sites to hit, and I'm also working on getting more access to places that...

    Never assume it can't happen in a tot lot!!

    I decided to hunt a bit tonight before we get more dang rain tomorrow. I hit a really huge tot lot in the area and discovered it had been cleaned out already by my competition! Dang, it's usually good for a few dollars and some nitro jewelry.. I hit another nearby tot lot and then decided to...

    Guide to buying used Excal?

    I bet this has been discussed but can't find much on what to look for when buying a used Excal. I don't have my eye on one yet (no money), but would like to buy one sometime this year. Mainly I'm just looking for tips of common problem areas, etc. that I should be looking for. I've already...

    Finally hit the old house in E. Texas!

    I finally made it out to east Texas to hunt the old house I got permission for last fall! I didn't find a SINGLE coin amongst the trash! I found so many jar lids I couldn't belive it, bits of iron, nails, all kinds of stuff except coins. The ground is so trashy it's incredible! I bet it will...

    Price check on Bandido II uMax..

    Found one with case and manual, like new, they're asking $375.00. This seems high to me but what do y'all think? Always wanted one of these....

    My '09 stuff...most of it!

    Turns out I need to work on keeping track of my finds! LOL.. I have a bunch more of the Coke bottles than are shown but don't know where I put them! Also more relic finds that I have somewhere around the mess I call my garage. Still, here are my better 'non-coin' finds from '09! To be fair, this...

    Do you bring home non-coin treasures too?

    Just wondering if y'all think like me.. As I shakedown these old homesites I find that my collection of interesting stuff grows even when my metal detecting (coin) finds are sparse. So far I have several nice old Coke bottles, some various smaller but cool bottles and vials, an old marble, a...

    A little tot lot bling..

    I decided to get out this afternoon to enjoy what was left of the indian summer we've had the last couple days. My first stop was a lake I've done somewhat well at in the past. Unfortunately I decided to try the stock coil-bad choice! The trash in that place is incredible, even after all the...

    Working hard for little return...

    Man, the tot lots aren't producing much lately! Of course, I also know I have some competition in my area.. I've been so busy with work the last few months that I hardly had time to breathe! Now that I have some vacation, I'm hitting 'it' really hard with my still somewhat limited time-10 tot...

    Threshold setting help

    I was just going over this in the manual yesterday and then saw a post referencing it just now. I don't know if it's tinnitus in my ears, being hard of hearing anyway, or maybe just my particular detector BUT. There's no possible way for me to hear the threshold at lower levels! If I turn it up...
