    Red Neck

    I cover well with SPF 50 and even with a good tan developed still sometimes feel the skin get a little sore after being out in bright mid-day summer sun.

    A week in Pompano Beach

    Thanks. Was fun having all six grandkids with us. LOL ... I have yet to be able to see the scoop on the bottom of the bay or tributaries when waist deep; even during the winter; knee deep yes, barely; waist deep no. I do kind of miss the winter time bay tributary hunts when the water gets blown...

    A week in Pompano Beach

    Had nearly all the immediate family in Pompano Beach for a week. Water was calm and clear with wave intervals running from six to eight seconds of no more than one foot waves. I detected on four days for about three to four hours each day. The rest of the week was very busy with family stuff...

    Tesoro no longer in business

    I doubt it would apply to any other detector than the version 4 circuit on the Compadre. You might try Geotech forum. There is a lot over there including a lot of reverse engineering of some older detectors. I have not searched over there for any of the Tesoro circuits.

    Tesoro no longer in business

    I searched this computer and found that I had loaded all the pictures to this one ... Here is the Compadre circuit board with potentionmeters marked. It is for version 4 of the board. I don't know how many versions there were. The only setting I messed with on mine is sensitivity. Adjusted...

    Tesoro no longer in business

    I found my old posts on tweaking the compadre (actually information was first provided by Keith Southern), but the picture of the board and which pot is which are not there anymore ... and I don't have them on this computer. If you feel it is appropriate, could you post the pictures, if not...

    Can I still find a coil

    Excalibur is still made so a coil is made too. Getting just a stock coil by itself might be difficult. There are some options for coils from other manufactures too. Try the Minelab US service center: https://www.detectorrepair.com/

    Fisher CZ's still the King

    Are you ground balancing? As RLOH notes 5 and up in dicrimination mode is high. If I run in discrimination mode, and I run sensitivity 5 and up, it falses and I dig phantom targets. When running auto-tune (all metal) I can run sensitivity up to where I hear a threshold and that is in the 8ish...

    Fisher CZ's still the King

    Tom's certified depth can be repeated in air tests. That Ken's air tests are less indicates something is not set right or there is EMI affecting his air test. Even on Florida beaches I can ground balance the CZs I've taken to Florida. I've heard some say that on some beaches in Florida the...

    Beach hunting shoes

    When I was hunting the Chesapeake bay and tributaries they got a little smelly until they dried out and every now and then would stink after drying, but a dose of Gear Aid Revivex Odor Eliminator (previously sold as McNett Mirazyme) or Sink the Stink Gear Deodorizer clears it up. Have not had...

    Beach hunting shoes

    Pretty good. I wear socks in them to keep my toes from rubbing. I tried regular dive boots and got lots of sand and pebbles in them. With the NRS ATB wetshoes, with a lot of water movement some sand gets in but not a lot; the pebbles stay out. One big thing for me is they have pretty good arch...

    Is the CZ properly ground balanced?

    Fisher CZ's still the King

    Puzzling. Perhaps sweep speed? CZs like a relaxed sweep. Too fast and you miss targets. Settings? Headphones? A couple years ago with a silver ring at the beach that I found with the CZ6a (with the FZ12 coil on it) I had another beach hunter come up with his Equinox and he could not find a...

    The RTG travel scoop doesn't fold, it slides apart at the reinforced joint after removing a retaining screw. Strong joint that after each hunt in the water I need to make sure it comes apart and clean it or it can bind up and take a lot of work to get apart. I switched from a Lesche digger for...

    I've got the travel version of that RTG scoop. It is a back up most of the time and the one I take if we fly because it fits in the suitcase. It's four pounds. Since weight is important to you, get a scoop with a carbon fiber handle, you can easily cut a half pound off the weight of the scoop...

    Beach hunting shoes

    Ive been using NRS ATB wetshoes and love them; however they discontinued them and I'm using aquaseal to prolong the life of the pair I have now until I find a good replacement. About a year ago saw a recommendation for Mares boots, but have not really looked at them yet. I see that NRS does have...

    Well, a 7.5 inch wide by 12 inch long scoop on a 54 inch long 1 3/8 inch diameter carbon fiber handle won't quite fit in my pocket.

    Pinpoint button is not used. It is the discrimination knob that gets turned from auto tune (motion all metal) to disc 0 (listen to tones including iron). Left hand carries the scoop and it is just not a feasible maneuver. Scoop gets in the way of any attempt to just flick the setting and the...

    For me and how I hunt with a CZ, hip mounting does not work. I run auto tune to find a target and flip to disc 0 when over the target to get more information about the target. If I hip mount it is very inconvenient to change the setting but when mounted on the shaft it is a very quick thumb flip...

    Not going to find anything with your stated requirements. F75 is 3.5 pounds as is a CZ5. The AQ LTD comes in at 4.2 pounds. The F75 and AQ LTD balance very well, which in my experience is more important than total weight. Fisher, like Teknetics and Bounty Hunter are owned by First Texas...
