    Where Did All the Gold Go ???

    I've noticed lately that except for a few hunters that are extremely persistent, there has a been serious drop off in the amount of gold finds in the past 6 months. I know that quite a few hunters have stopped posting their gold finds due to scammers trying to claim their finds by deceit...

    The Power of Stories or Why It's a Good Idea to Write These Things Down

    My wife was back in Canada on business a few weeks ago and made arrangements to meet my two nieces for dinner after the meetings were finished. That's how I found out that one of my nieces was going through a divorce. Melanie is a sweet woman, 32 years old and has been married to her husband...

    Trick My Excal:super:

    The 10" coil on my Excal is shot and the headphones are held together with binder twine, so it's time for some modifications. I'm thinking a 15" W.O.T from Coiltek and the 12.5" Sunray coil with waterproof connectors for interchangeability. The headphones I'm leaning towards the Gray Ghost...

    Anyone Hunting North Wales??

    I'm taking a trip this April to North Wales by Bardsley Island and Pwllhelln. Wanted to know if anyone hunts this area and can give pointers on the local conditions? I'm expecting things to be just a little different than the conditions in Bermuda. Cheers, BDA:cool:

    Stories by bdahunter..........

    I got a call from my Mom just before Christmas telling me that she had passed her heart test at the hospital and was cleared to travel to some place warm for the holidays, she felt Mexico might be nice. My wife and I had just returned from Tulum, Mexico and knew she would like it but I...

    Why Southerners shouldn't move North

    Except from the diary of a Floridian who moved north to Minnesota so his Northern wife could be closer to her family. December 8 It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from...

    Some Silver at Surf Church

    It was a Bermudaful Morning and I had to heed the call of Mother Ocean so after a nice breakfast on the patio, I slipped into my wetsuit, grabbed my gear and headed for Daniels Head Park.:bouncy: The temperature was in the low 70's so I wore a hunting jacket with mesh pockets for my finds and...

    Tulum, Mexico Gives Up Cartier Style Ring

    I haven't been hunting much this year due to other committments but I'm not about to retire from surf pirating anytime soon either, so when my wife and i decided to head to Tulum, Mexico on the Mayan Riviera, the Surf PI DF and scoop went in my luggage.:detecting: If you haven't visited this...

    Pentax Optio W30 Underwater Camera

    I decided to go with the Pentax based on Bobbie's suggestion, among others. The Olympus SW cameras have let me down twice and three failures would have been too much to take for this Pirate. So far the pics are good and I'm planning on getting into the water with it soon, just too darn busy...

    Contact Info for Minelab Repair/Service Center Required

    Well the time has come to send my Excal in for an overhaul after several years of faultless service. The coil has been acting up for the last few months and the house painter knocked my Excal down, then stepped on the headphones breaking them in half. I'd planned on upgrading the stock blue...

    Very Bricky in Bermuda Today.

    I got out to Horseshoe Bay this afternoon for the low tide, just as Hurricane Kyle was passing off to the west. It was rough as bricks in the Bay and the sand has shifted some but not enough yet. It's been a tough year for this pirate with the sand pushed in deep over my favorite hunting...

    Wouldn't it make more sense to have a switch on the Surf PI Dual Field

    That allows you to switch between the dual coil design, 6" and 12", to just the 6"? It would make pinpointing much easier I should think. Run both coils for coverage and then switch to the 6" to pinpoint, it seems so obvious so I wonder why it wasn't designed that way. Any thoughts or am I...

    3rd Cannonball off of my beach:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

    I got out for two hours yesterday at my private beach with the Surf PI DF and at the end of the hunt I had a 1940 King George V British Penny, a Bermudian dollar, an American dime, a ballbearing, the ever present Cambridge Beaches Hotel key and a heavily encrusted blob that didn't look very...

    Surf PI Dual Field - Test Run Gets Gold

    I brought my Surf Pi Dual Field back to Bermuda from Canada last week and this weekend I got it out for some preliminary trials in Bermuda waters. The first thing I noticed about the DF was the big coil but the light weight compared to my Excal 1000, this new machine swings like a feather...

    This Weekend I bit the bullet and bought the Whites Dual Field

    I've wanted to explore the PI side of detecting for a while but I've had a very hard time making up my mind about which unit to add to the arsenal, finally went with the Dual Field. The Infinium had my interest initially but I hated the tones, like nails on a blackboard to my ears. The TDI...

    How to go about waterproofing the White TDI?:confused:

    I've seen a lot of waterproofing conversions over the years and the results varied widely. I've decided that the dual field isn't for me but a waterproof TDI would be the Bomb! There is the possibility that Whites will produce one later this year but only a possibility, maybe it will be next...
