    The writing is on the wall.

    Hi!. I always use a Vibra probe pinpointer down the beach, it's waterproof down to 200ft.

    Tyrap

    I use a stainless steel border spade which is pulled behind as I walk the beach and it's also very good for keeping my balance when detecting on the rocks. The bottom corners used to be squared off but are now both very rounded.

    Anyone interested, the hairpin bend is shown on the MerryMoor pub web cam in Mawgan porth, as you will see you only get one chance at it.

    Nox 800 Mods

    I use milliput epoxy putty the red pack one on my Vibra probe to stop the tip wearing out, it has been on for over 6 months with no problems, it was about £4-00 for a 114gm pack which should last a long time.

    Had a good walk and found some coins and fishing weights with my trusty Vibra 580 in the rock pools but the sand was about 3ft deeper than the last time I was there, I shall now start on the other 300+ beaches within about an hours drive. Just had a look at a beach I very rarely go to but looks...

    How about a sticky post of favorite settings used on the Equinox - for clarification please indicate model (600 or 800)
