    Tiger Shark coil bolt

    Nothing hi tech here, I replaced the tiny factory bolt with the one from Garrett. I had put a bend in the factory bolt after swinging the 10.5 coil in dry sand all day. I took it out Saturday and had no problems. HH Joe

    2 hours at my red neck Riviera

    I saw Papa's post and had to hit my local swimmin' hole. Well, I learned his is better than mine, and Bud Light is still the preferred beer at the hole. [attachment 58729 Photo0013sm.jpg] Here are the finds not counting whole cans, steel belted radials, etc.... [attachment 58730...

    Converted the Tiger Shark coil bolt to something substantial

    I am having to give the Tiger Shark anti-rejection drugs. I went dry sand hunting this weekend with the 10.5" coil and noticed when I broke the detector down for cleaning, the little dinky plastic bolt that holds the coil on was bent. I had a spare from Tesoro, but in a moment of genius (or...

    Got a woopin' from the girlfriend this weekend...

    Went out this weekend to a local lake and the GF took her ACE. I was expecting water hunting so I brought the Tiger Shark. When I got there the bouys that are at the deepest end of the swim beach were about 200 yards up on dry land, the water was that far out!! I got started with the TS and here...

    Today's meagerness...

    My girlfriend and I went to two beaches at the local lake today, for a total of about 5.5 hours. When we started we weren't even hitting pultabs, and figured that was a bad sign that it was cleaned out since last season. She stayed on the land with her ACE 250, and I headed for the water to try...

    New tide watch - Nightmare:nerd:

    Hi all, I just picked up a new tide watch. So far this thing is a nightmare. I am wanting to set it for Panama City, the book says GMT differential is -4 (DST) Longitude 80*W and the Lunitidal Interval is 3:00. I set it as such, but it doesn't jive with the tide charts found on the net. I went...

    Chance to go to Destin. Legal Questions...

    Are there any legal issues I need to know about regarding metal detector use on the beaches? Times I can hunt, or must be off the beach by a certain time, permits etc.... I am going to back the sensitivity down on my Tiger Shark and give salt water a try. I will be going in July. Thank you in...

    Girlfriend surprised me

    My girlfriend surprised me by ordering a 250. Now I have a "hunting buddy" :twodetecting: So what does she do on her FIRST day out with it?? Finds a ring!! We started the day in my seeded back yard till she got comfortable with it, then we headed to the "Redneck Rivera". It is a local swimming...

    Redneck Rivera

    Me and my girlfriend ( Christine ) went to the redneck Rivera today after work. It is basically a stream under a bridge that folks go to and swim, drink, drink, you get the picture. Anyway I hunted the water with the Tiger Shark, and she hunted the beach with the 1350. We both found a slew of...

    Date: Today, 05:16PM Went back to the lake today. I only got to hunt 3 hours because they closed the beaches BECAUSE THE WATER WAS TOO LOW !!!!! It was great, I was all the way out to the ropes, and the water was up to my waist!! It is usually 12' deep at the ropes. Found a slew of pulltabs...

    Took the Tiger to the lake...

    I went to the local lake Saturday from 9:30 am till about 3:00 pm. Got a bunch of junk, the best find was the mood ring. I will be going back Monday. The magnet and the 1/4 inch mesh in the scoop made it MUCH easier to retreive targets. And yes, that little thing under the glasses IS a tooth...

    Tigershark at the lake

    I went to the local fresh water lake Saturday for 4 hours, the hits were few and far between. NO money, a .22 bullet, a shotgun primer, some foil and the obligatory pull tabs. Oh and 2 ear rings! The flowery one says OZ 925 on the back. The small targets are killing me, they fall through the...

    Took the Tiger Shark for a swim

    I hit the local swimming beach today, have been waiting for a chance to get the Tiger Shark really wet. Not many targets, but what is in the pic is all I dug, trash and all, looks like a good ratio to me. I tried to go out around chest deep and found a couple of problems right away... even with...

    Another 1350 day at the beach

    Went to the fresh water beach today, found more pulltabs and some fresh clad. Used the 10X14DD again, note the little star in the middle of the jar lid, it is only about 5/16" and that big coil picked it up 3" (measured) in the sand. I thought bigger coils weren't supposed to find small...

    1350 came through for me today at the lake

    I had 2 firsts today, I FINALLY found my first SILVER coin!!!!! It is a 1943 QUARTER! 15 minutes later I pulled a sterling Mickey Mouse ring out of the sand! First silver coin and first silver ring in the same day ( been trying for the coin since 1989 when I got my Master Hunter 5 ). I was using...

    ? for John, Uncle Willy and others....

    I am about to start on another old rural home site. How would you "pros" attack this. It is supposedly from the 1930's, and was originally a duplex. It has two front and rear doors. I will have unlimited time to search this one so my thinking was to grid the place off, start with a smaller coil...

    Old farmhouse revisited..

    Went back to the old farmhouse today after work for an hour. It has an incredibly junky yard, can't swing a dead cat without hittin' at least 5 screw caps. Set the sensitivity down to 50%, put on the small coil, and only dug repeatable signals. picked up 3 pennies and a Quarter. The quarter...

    Old Farmhouse

    Went to an old farmhouse today after work with the 1350. Had to use the 4.5" coil due to all the trash, still got multiples under the coil. Oldest penny 1970. Screwtops were coming in at penny, and with the 4.5 coil they were sizing as "small". I finaly got tired of digging them and notched them...
