    Sterling ring and my first walking half liberty

    Well, I found my first and only mercury dime in a lake, and now my first and only walking liberty half came out of a lake also, 1942! This is a very unique spot where you can't hardly utilize a scoop, it's much faster to use a vibra-probe and feel with your fingers for the target. The oldest of...

    First dive of the season, =gold:smile:

    Been tryin to get out, but days off and the weather haven't been cooperating. Got a late start, wasted a couple hours going to the post office to fetch my vibra-probe that was supposed to be here yesterday. Decided to try a new kind of spot and had a tip on a gold item that was lost last week...

    Bunch'o quarters and a little goodness

    In the big lake today, returned to look for a men's wedding band that was dropped a couple days ago. Apparently there was a big blow last night, because all the trash cans and porta jons in the area were tipped over. No luck finding the ring, with all the wave action and overnight sand movement...

    wTS: Sunspot STEALTH S3i "sugar sand" scoop 8"

    Purchased new like a week ago, changed my mind on the smaller holes in my scoop, always trying different things here. It drains straight sand great and will surely retain those tiny targets. It could probably pass for brand new, I did put a light coat of white paint on the top *(helps me see...

    wTs: Sand Scoop, "magnum" large size

    Bought new last year as a spare, which I don't need now, it was used a couple dozen times in lake michigan sand. I'd rather just sell the scoop itself to avoid having to ship the handle, but that depends on shipping location/cost/etc. The handle is from menards, baker tools brand, I rounded...

    wTs: Minelab Excal II 10"

    Bought brand new late-summer of 2010. Works perfect, has never had any issues, its a "good" one, got used quite a bit in freshwater only (on a straight shaft). A few things that some folks may not like, I painted the top of the coil white so I can see it in murked up water, much better than...

    Playin in the mud with the F75

    Been driving by this spot all week, F75 & gear in the truck, wishing I had time to detect it when it was not occupied by excavators/workers/etc. Watched alot of "good" dirt get trucked out all week long, the rain on friday helped slow things down a bit, not sure where it was trucked to...

    wTs: Used Minelab ETRAC, w/pro & 10x12 sef coils

    Probably gonna regret this, but I got my excal to get me by. Bought last year, box says made in ireland, was one of the last ones available prior to the etracs being impossible to find back then. It works perfect, has never had any issues, the screen has no scratches and audio is perfect like...

    Turned into a 3 ring day!

    Finally got some good strong winds over the weekend, big waves helped add some fresh drops in the water or just moved stuff around (not sure which). Dug my first Ti ring, then got another Ti shortly after the first! Went back again just before sunset, couldn't resist, happened across another...

    Last weekend, first water hunt

    Gave a CZ21 detector a try this past weekend, first time hunting with a water unit. Hit the closest inland beach I could think of, spent like an hour in the water before lunch and another hour after, made some changes to my scoop while on lunch break. Unfamiliar with the CZ, I guessed on the...

    6x8 , 10x12 sef coils/etrac question

    Have found that my pro coil doesn't quite pick up some smaller gold items/earings and faintly hits the thinner gold rings, with no disc. I'm kinda into beach hunting mode now, and have had a 6x8sef on backorder for awhile now. Wondering if the 6x8sef allows the etrac to see these...
