    CLEAN SWEEP COIL on the beach ....

    ... took mine out yesterday to clear the dry sand at our local Redneck Riviera. Finds have been slowing down there, as we have been pounding that beach hard lately. I wanted to make a CLEAN SWEEP run in the dry sand and see what's left. I have a Golden uMax for mine, which works very well in...

    CLEAN SWEEP COIL - in case you missed it...

    I used mine yesterday. I have a Golden uMax for it, which works very well in combination. ALL detectors should have selectable TID. The clean sweep coil is useful, also very heavy and imbalanced. It dangles like some mutated arm on the end of the lower rod. Using it is much like mopping a...

    Aqua 1350 gets a bit ...

    ... Took the 1350 into the water today for a little wetness. Didnt get much, as this is the same beach weve been pounding now for about a month. I had to be careful as usual not to immerse the housing, which I alsmost did near the end. A great detector - not a great unit for the water. The 1350...

    What is Your Jewelry Worth?

    [size=small]How Much is Your Jewelry Worth? We as detectorists are a dreamy lot, at times. We work on Hope, and we fervently believe that The Big One lies just beyond the next swing of our search coil. For most of us, the ardent dream of finding beautiful gold rings or other jewelry pieces is...

    Move a Vaquero for an MXT?? :confused:

    I got hold of a Vaquero last year and, well, I like it... But, I dont really use the Vaquero all that much, to be honest. It's pretty basic and I find I crave a bit more pizazz. Not just depth, cause the V has that, but a few features, program options - a few more ringy-dingy's. The MXT seems to...

    DUMMY MXT QUESTION

    Okay, let me say upfront that I really like tone ID, and dont care too much for gawking at meters. so, just what are the tone options on the MXT I wonder? UPDATE: After reading the manual I see one possible tone scenario that goes like this: Hunt site - Vollyball court on a late afternoon...

    Fresh water lake hunt today....

    ...Garrett doesnt make a purpose built VLF water machine (damn the bad luck), so I have one by another maker. Forgive the non-Garrett thing, but I thought you guys would like to see the pics - and I know I would like to share them. Enjoy, Rosco... it was as hot as it looks, but the water was...

    Making "cents" of it all

    Here, for your amusement, is the latest outpouring from my tumbler. A shot of Mr Clean, some aquarium gravel and about 10 hours of tumbling and - Voila! pretty cents. I'll roll them later and squirrel them away among my vast and priceless horde of treasures. Awhitster, please note that I left...

    AN observation on Water detecting

    I cant help but notice that the nut photos differ little from the same on land. I am a converted land hunter and the junk brought up by water hunters is about the same. Batteries, clad, whatsis, tabs, you name it. But the best ring I ever found was in the water. Ditto for the next best and the...

    Impromptu Freshie Junket Nets a Whopper!

    I've been whining lately about my "treasure drought" and wondering when it will get a little relief. Well, today was a good start. I convinced pal Hal to get out of the swamps and mosquito bogs on Fathers Day and take a little looksie over at a pocket beach nearby. He has been a die-hard relic...

    My cup runneth over...

    I was at Hobby Lobby today, wastin' valuable detecting time while Lori shopped. While I was there I spotted a kiddies coloring kit, a clear mug with inserts for coloring, which are then put inside the mug. I got one for .87 cents and turned it into a grownup project instead. The results are...
