    Scoop for river hunting

    Just picked up a new Excal II which will open up a whole new area of detecting for me that I have not yet experienced. I'm planning on doing some river hunting for CW relics and what every else I can find and wanted to get some input as to the best scoop to use. I currently have a 6" RTG Pro...

    Headphones for Excal II

    Hi Everyone. I just got a new Excal II and was wondering if it's worth replacing the stock headphones with aftermarket ones. Is there much difference between the stock phones vs. aftermarket (like the Gray Ghost for example)? My hearing is not the best and if there is a noticeable difference...

    Leaving the XP Deus family, but may be back in the future

    Well, I decided to trade my XP Deus in on a new Minelab Excal II with the 10" coil and some other goodies. When I bought the XP Deus, I was torn between it and a water machine. I have been using my E-Trac for the beach, but I want to start doing some heavy duty river and lake hunting and for...

    Excal II setup

    I'm getting a new Excal II with the 10" coil and was hoping I could get some feedback from you Excal users as to what is the best setup for dry/wet sand and shallow surf (up to chest deep) hunting. I've heard/read that the stock setup is not the most comfortable setup and a lot of folks either...

    Old Railroad Stop

    Well, I got a chance to go back to the old railroad stop near my home for a couple hours today and found lots of clad, 3 wheats (1929, 1944, 1946) and 2 mercs (1929, 1934). Clad totals were 27 pennies, 5 dimes, and 2 quarters. Not a lot of older coins, but I was very excited to found the mercs...

    Short hunt yesterday nets a few wheats

    I've been in a silver slump lately, but through some research, I think I've found a place that may have a few to find. I've been researching where the old W&OD Railway stops used to be in Virginia and found one pretty close to home. It was in use in the early 1900's and was connected to an old...

    My First Hunt with the Deus

    For my first hunt, I went to an old school in town and planned on hitting the softball field. Well, when I got there, a softball game was in progress. That meant that I had to hunt the front of the school which I must have hunted at least 30 times over the last year. The area is only about...

    Electrolysis Cleaning

    I have a 1800's brass buckle that I want to cleanup using electrolysis and wanted to know what type of solution mix would work best. I've seen people use a combination of salt and lemon juice and just plain baking soda. Are there any others and what seems to work the best.

    Coil Question

    When you buy the XP Deus, can you buy it with the larger coil and if so, is it the same price? Also, which coil does everyone prefer for everyday use, the 9" or the 13X11"?

    Think it's a button but not sure

    Found this on Saturday at an old (build 1812) estate close to home. Looks like it may be a button. The front has a buffalo and appears to have the words "United States" (very faint). The back of it has a small piece of copper attached to it. The estate was being used for weddings up until...
