    Exal.II or the Sov. GT for wet sand,dry sand and water?

    Now that I've found a gold ring on the beach I'm hopelessly hooked on beach hunting.Is the Excal II a better choice for the beach over the Sov. GT?I would hunt out to about 3 feet deep on calm days.Is there a place I can send my Sov.GT(after I purchase one) to get it put in a waterproof box?I...

    No silver but lots of coins with the SE today

    I took the SE to what I thought was an old park this afternoon.I dug 25 clad quarters,32 clad dimes,1 nickel and 43 memorial and zinc pennies.I couldn't understand why not even a Wheatie.The park was built in 1982 not 1928 as I had seen when I was researching it.I laugh everytime I think about...

    Western VA dirt and coin hunting detector

    I'm moving to the western end of Virginia.I've heard the dirt there is mineralized.Will the F series detectors work good for coin hunting there?Would I be better off with a 1270 and extra coils to hunt in this soil?Any help,experience or recommendations would be appreciated.Thanks Bill
