    Lobo Super Traq on Saltwater Beach?

    I'm looking for the best combination machine for land, prospecting and beach use. I have wonderful detectors for in the water, but they are like beached-whales on land! I just purchased a used Fisher CZ6a and kind of like it. But there are no larger DD coils for this machine, and while it...

    Cibola vs Fisher 1266 X?

    I hear wonderful things about the Cibola. Is it time for me to replace my 1266X? Does anyone own both detectors and compared depth performance in the field? Thanks CC.

    New GT or Elite?

    I'm an experienced Excalibur user and am looking for the perfect saltwater beach detector. I think it is clear that for a VLF, the Sovereign is the best choice. I plan on using a WOT. But should I go with a used Elite or new GT? Specifically, how often with a Sovereign would one hunt a...

    Just bought used CZ6a

    Hi to All! My goodness, what have I done? I have a used CZ6a on the way and sort of have high expectations!? Over the years I have used and tried many machines/brands, but for some reason passed Fisher up. Now that I know more about metal detectors/theory, I concluded that a CZ was the...

    Goldquest purchase or not to?

    Hi to all. I do have some detecting experience and am looking for the edge in the field. For most of my saltwater hunting I use Excaliburs and have found lots of gold with them. I have also tried several pulse machines including PI Pro, HeadHunter PI, Sand shark and Infinium. I sort of liked...

    JW Fisher Pulse 8X?

    How good is the JW Fisher Pulse 8X detector? They carry a high price and many PRO Departments and treasure hunters seem to purchase them. Yet others tell me that this pulse machine is no good!? So, is this a good machine? Does it have to be worked real slow? Is it a stable unit in salt, or...

    Sandshark vs PI Pro

    I once owned a Whites PI PRO and was very impressed with its ability to pinpoint. Almost like a VLF land machine! The Pro nailed targets! I sold the PRO because I mainly use Excaliburs in the water and wanted to get good with one machine. But now I am in the market for a pulse detector as a...

    BBS TORNADO COILS FOR THE XS Question...

    Hi, again I'm quite pleased with the older Sovereign XS I recently purchased on ebay. It came with a more recent 1000 BBS coil and really goes deep, especially in all-metal! This detector is a keeper for sure and I plan on purchasing accessory coils for it. The 15 inch WOT and Joey coils...

    Well, I did it!!!

    Hi to all. I finally did it and ordered an Explorer II today!:wiggle: I use mainly Excaliburs for water hunting and was torn between a new Quattro and Explorer II for land and beach. The Explorer II won out and I will be reading this forum often now. I believe I made a great decision with...

    GT, Quattro, Exp II question for Rick...

    Hi Rick and thanks for your help. I know this is a Sov forum but I would like your thoughts. I just recently purchased 2 new Excaliburs to replace my used ones. I like the Excaliburs and will stick with them for my water hunting until ML upgrades them. I have not made my mind up on keeping...

    Encourage me to keep my new GT!

    Hi, I recently purchased a new GT. My thinking was that since I use Excaliburs for water hunting, the GT would be similar at the beach. I like the new GT rod and chest mount configuration and was planning on getting a larger coil such as a WOT for beach use. Despite having lots of success...

    Which Should I Buy- EX II or Quattro?

    Hi, I'm leaning towards a Quattro. However I wonder if the back light and dual ferrous/conductivity read-out on the EX II, is important to have? I use Excaliburs and recently purchased a Sov GT, thinking it would be more similar to my Excaliburs- tone-wise... But now am wondering if perhaps...

    Which Should I Buy- Quattro or EXPII?

    I'm leaning towards a Quattro. However the EXII backlight and dual ferrous/conductivity display seems important? I use Excaliburs and recently purchased a Sov GT. If I purchased the Quattro, then I either would keep the Quattro or Sov and sell the other, based on which I liked better in the...

    PI Tech Question for all...

    Hi, I would like to better understand the difference between 2 pulse units and their terminology. The Whites PI Pro has what is called a Gain Control. The Detector Pro HH Pulse has what is called a Frequency Shift. From what I read, I understand the basic manufacturer written concepts...

    CZ 3D or ID Edge?

    Hi, it sounds to me like the ID Edge is the better machine? But on the 3D I like the idea of older coins giving a high tone when in enhance mode. So on the Edge in the old coin mode will the tone on old coins be high or mid? If mid, then I guess that this mode in the Edge is simply notch...

    GOLDSCAN 5- Questions...

    I am seriously thinking about the purchase of a Goldscan 5 as a replacement for my Infinium. I would use the GS5 for beach hunting and gold prospecting. On the beach I would hope and expect that the GS5 would be very sensitive to gold and go very deep. My other choice would be a GP3500, which...

    WOT Coil?

    Does the 15 inch Coiltek WOT coil work on the GT? If yes, how well does it perform at the beach? CC.

    CZ20 vs Excalibur Today?

    Hi, I am an Excalibur user and know what they are all about. I have always wanted a CZ20 and now that they are no longer in production, I'm wondering if I should snap one up while I can? I understand the technologies behind both machines. I'm more interested in what works better than brand...
