    Another "Otter-Ace" (Ace 150 converted to wading)

    This is a shameless copy of the rig that BCD invented and used to good effect last summer. The 'guts' are enclosed in an "Otter-Box" 3500 and the holes are sealed with silicone. The only hard part was lengthening the coil cable, though I'm told that Garrett can do this for you, for a fee, if...

    First gold ring of the year!

    With all the recent posting about the GTA 1000, I felt prompted to take my 1000 PM for a walk in the park yesterday. This one wears a 5.5" HotHead "Ferrett" coil pretty much all the time. This is a really good coil for a GTA, by the way. I recommend it highly. After digging a nice pile of...

    Could this be Roman gold?!

    Now, try not to laugh because I'm new at this. I bought four, uncleaned "Roman" coins. After cleaning, three of them are clearly copper or some derivative alloy, but this one looks diff. from the rest. Hoping that someone with experience 'tectoring in Europe might be able to enlighten me...

    Okay, here's a freshwater machine for about $60....

    I started with a RS/BH 1100, $30 on closeout. Added an "Otterbox" 3500, about $30 and with some minor mods and a little soldering, put the two together and now have an inexpensive wading rig that will produce. I actually got my Otterbox for free and the spare headphones were a gift, so I've got...

    Okay, here's a freshwater-rig for about $60...

    I took a RS/BH 1100 (about $30 on closeout from RadioShack) and housed the guts in a $30 "OtterBox" 3500. Add a spare set of headphones (we've all got 'em) a little silicone/elbow grease etc. and you've got a freshwater wading rig that will produce! [attachment 34531 otter.jpg] You'll have to...

    CZ 6 or Sovereign; Which would be the better choice for wet-sand beach hunting?

    Mostly a landlubber here but would like to add a beach hunting machine to the stable for some semi-annual beach combing. I'm looking at these two as they seem to be available in my price range and would add to my choices for land hunting as well. If you had the choice between the two, which...

    Shopping for a backup electronic probe and looking for some input...

    Currently using a vibra-probe. Simple, solid unit and no problems over the rough years... but it doesn't hit foil well at all and I'm looking for one that will. I'd like a unit that can quickly identify those pesky little pieces of foil that sit right on top of the ground and have me reaching...

    Can anyone ID this coin?

    Found at a ballfield on fri. Between a quarter/half in size. Looks middle-eastern to me! [attachment 22482 FcoinFront.jpg] [attachment 22483 FcoinBack.jpg]
