    A Question for Beach Hunters using Minelab FBS (Safari)

    Have not used that detector ... but, on virtually every beach I've hunted, I like a coil in the larger range, 11 inch is about perfect. Only exception would be if you are at a very rocky beach where you need to work around and between the rocks.

    If Fisher would make a modern High end coin / relic detector???? Would you buy and what options would it need to have ??

    I wish that were the case. The version that KellyCo is selling is the Limited version (LTD) ... and does not have fixes in it.

    Noisy or chatterbox is not a description that fits any of the CZs,

    If Fisher would make a modern High end coin / relic detector???? Would you buy and what options would it need to have ??

    Water proof to at least ten feet. Take it out with no fear when it is raining and go wading at the beach into the cuts where jewelry likes to find it's way into. Issue might be price point; can First Texas deliver a product like that at a price point competitive with others (for example the Legend)?

    Fisher CZ's still the King

    Most of the cz's out there are not water detectors. The CZ20 / CZ21 are water detectors; all the others are not water proof. The CZ20 / CZ21 are a lot heavier than the non-waterproof CZs.

    Fisher CZ's still the King

    Yes. Found a 8 or 9 gram silver ring in the wet sand at a good 13 to 14 inches. After I took the first scoop of sand out, a guy with an Equinox came up to me to ask what I was finding. He could not tell there was a target there, nothing. Couple more scoops and we were looking at a silver ring...

    Weight comparison

    Actual weight may not be the issue. It very well might be how the balance is changed by the coil more so than the added weight. Over the years I've made counter weights for some of my detectors because adding the counter weight, while increasing total weight, made it balance better and be much...

    Clearwater Beach Hunts

    Finding the tent stakes is mostly on sand and not so much in cuts in the water ... on the sand, try circling the target and listening for modulation on the tone edges and distinct double blips. Those are give aways for iron. The bottle caps sound wider than good targets; but I still mostly dig...

    Two Hunts This Week

    You are seeing more coins than I am right now. Was out today and there are a couple of areas where some cuts are starting to form. Bottoms of them are still soft ... hopefully some become hard bottoms soon. Good luck in Clearwater. Been about four years since wife and I were there. We just saw...

    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    What detector have you used there and are there EMI issues in the area that you have noticed?

    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    I don't find monster hooks on the beaches I detect ... at least not yet and I've been at it for a couple decades now. I also get very sea sick even with a plenty of dramanine in me so haven't had the need to use any monster hooks because I stay in the protected bays, inlets or freshwater. I...

    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    When I search on information on stainless vs steel hooks I get results that say the stainless are not as strong and will break rather than bend and retain the fish. Glad the hooks you buy work for you.

    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    Most hooks have highly modulated sound edges in all metal on the AQ and I can call them as iron. In tone or mute, many will be discriminated, unlike the bobby pins. I don't think I've hit too many stainless hooks if any. Seems the carbon steel hook is stronger than the stainless one of the same...

    Fooled again,

    Eventually you will get real gold. As for lighters, have you found any zippo lighters?

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    Yes, wired with a connector. You can replace coils. Fisher delivered the 12.5 inch coil and had some 8 inch coils for sale ... as noted Eric made a few "right sized" coils. The modes on the detector are all metal, tones, mute and volcanic sand. I don't know what parameters change with the...

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    It is motion, but takes very little motion so it is easy to pinpoint. No pinpoint button. Mono loop, wired with a connector. Nails are put low or high based on how you have the detector set up. With bobby pins, whether it is the alloy in how they are made springy, or in shape, are very hard to...

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    In tone mode it goes low tone or high tone with stuff on the edge kind of modulated. Tuning is a combination of reject and ATS settings. The points of transition to low tone can be a bit sensitive on small changes to the ATS settings. In Mute, you either hear targets or don't hear them. What...

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    There was supposed to be one introduced about the time the pandemic hit and it never materialized. There was a one page brochure on it ... that I unfortunately have not been able to find to post here. The detector was named to. With no new information for two years and then it becomes a rumored...

    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    The links on the chain shown are fairly small and a good find. Small links are hard to find it it doesn't have a good sized clasp or pendent attached too. Nice digs!

    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    The stock battery is not the best. I was fortunate to get OldBeechnut's battery pack that lasts a lot longer; back when he was building them. Do you only have one battery pack? Try hunting a pattern of water to shore and then back shore to water rather than parallel to shore to reduce the...
