    First wetsuit hunt of 2017 2 gold & 2 silver

    What a great weekend, weather, location, health and finds. Up at 3:15am on the road by 3:45am and at the campground I stayed at and in the water by 8:30am. It is a long drive but the location can't be beat for beauty and treasure possibilities. My plan was to spend lots of time Saturday going up...

    5 fun days at Myrtle Beach..

    6 nights with 5 full days of detecting at Myrtle Beach and I had a blast. I hunted mostly the chair line and down maybe 10 feet, I did do some wet sand when the tide was out but not much. That wet sand had fewer targets, the sloppy sand kept flowing back into the hole and the hit was mostly...

    Used my first vacation day of 2017

    Used my first day of vacation Monday of this week for a good ol' water hunting trip with chest waders. I was very surprised how many kids and adults were in the water at the swimming beaches, Brr. Got up and hit the Road Sunday morning for a 4 hour drive to the lake. Hunted for a little over 3...

    Before and after cleaning photo's

    These are (were) heavily stained 14k gold and a .925 silver ring photos of both before and then after reverse electrolyse then a sonic cleaner and finish with a jewelers polishing cloth. The photos show a big difference but still don't do justice to it.

    Long drive but fun hunt.

    Had a great day in the water Saturday. The gold ring was a nice surprise, just what I was hoping for in a spot that was old. It tests 14K but has no caret marks, that should put it before 1906. Both rings and the silver dime need a good cleaning!!!

    Two February water hunts so far in 2017

    The only way to water hunt in February living up North is to go South :laugh:, but not this year. The first hunt is the group picture, it was 70 degrees, a very nice hunt that I only had to go around 1 ice burg. The second hunt was today and I froze big time, I only lasted an hour. (19...

    EX-cal II check up.

    This will be the 6th consecutive year on my Excalibur II with no problems to date (Knock on Wood). I am a believer in "if it ain't broke don't fix it" but know I should send it in at the end of this years season for a good going over, especially after half backing over with my car the second...

    EX-cal II years of service

    I read a lot of posts of machine problems and sending in their machines. I am wondering if they are the minority or not so much the majority but way more then there should be.??? I got my Ex-cal II (No modification other then the shaft) in the winter of 2012 so it has 5 years of fresh water...

    One of my best hunts...

    I got a late start Sunday morning but the finds more than made up for it. 3 1/2 to 4 hours in the water and 4 hours on the road for the round trip. (It more than made up for Saturdays 3 junk rings :thumbup:) This is the second time back to this spot, 20 feet into the water I got a clad dime, a...

    Ring return

    It took two trips for a total of 7 hours in a car and 5 hours of searching to find this ring for a very distraught young lady. Found it 5 feet before she was going to call an end to the search. She lost it in Grant river while tubing with friends. First charge 2.5 hours

    4 Day Weekend

    Did a 4 day weekend camping trip with my wife. She loves the quite and gets allot of stuff done she was putting off. For me it's a great location to be for fresh water beaches I normally don't drive to because of the road time. The silver ring with tested real diamonds has the worst looking...

    Today's hunt

    I had to stay in the shallow part of the beach today, where all the pull tabs like to wash to, the reason is a short story involving a chain saw, 8 foot ladder, a tree and being in a rush resulting in a finger that should not be in dirty water for a long time I'm afraid. Lots of junk, 8...
