    REAL Treasure (very very long)

    Yesterday I found my first Gold Ring. That was a goal I had been shooting for and it was a thrill that all of you have experienced in this hobby of ours. There are two of the things I have always felt very strongly about in this hobby. The first was to realize that the true treasure you will...

    My First Gold Ring

    In my last two hunts I have found 5 rings and a 14K Communion Medal. I had found gold before in the Medals, but I was still seeking my first Gold ring until today. It is 14K to boot, and the stone is in tact. So I'm happy with the way things are going even if I can't get to the ocean very often...

    My first ring found in water

    I took my Excal to the lake today and found my first "water" ring. It is a class ring from Kokomo High. I've already emailed the school on how to get in touch with me about returning it to the owner. [attachment 58071 KokomoCR.jpg] It had the initials, but I don't understand the mark "val"...

    1280X question

    Does the 1280X have just one tone? What do you listen for? Strength and size of signal? Any reason you do not recommend this detector for fresh or saltwater hunting? TIA Alton

    Which of the detectors for 2nd detector

    I have a Excal, but need a 2nd detector when I take my friend. I'm considering 1280X, Tigershark, and Beach Hunter ID. If I use the Excal, I could let him use one of those 3. If I let him use the Excal, I could consider Whites PI Pro, Infinium LS, Sea Hunter MKII, or possible the Sand Shark...

    What does the mark TI mean?

    My hunting buddy found a mans wedding ring today that had the mark TI on inside. It also was ingraved, "always and forever" in script. Other than that it had no marking. TIA Alton

    Excal falsing ?

    I'm posting this for a friend of mine and I haven't seen this problem in person. He claims his machine after he gets knee deep in water begans to give a false signal like he has hit a target on each swing. Sometimes he says it does it just holding it in the air. He hip mounts it. He can get it...

    Infinium or Sea Hunter MKII

    I'm pretty much down to these two for my choice of a PI unit. I'll be using it for SE Florida beaches (in the water), local fresh water beaches, and perhaps some relic hunting. Main concern is water detecting. Have any of you used both or strongly recommend one over the other? Any problems...

    For those who use both Excalibur and PI units

    If you use a Excalibur (or CZ20 or other VLF), what PI unit is your choice for it's running mate? I'm looking at the Infinium LS, Surfmaster PI Pro, Sea Hunter MKII, and possibly the Aquasearch. The Infinium and below is more in my price structure for right now. I hunt in local freshwater...

    Something I would wish for

    I was asked today to find a wedding band that was lost years ago "somewhere" in a garden - a huge garden. When I began to hunt, there was of course some junk, but there was can slaw every step or so. After a while you can pretty much determine that is what it is before you dig it, but under the...

    My first Beach hunt and Gold find

    I went to visit my sister in Florida this past week. I spent M-F on various beaches in south Florida. Juno, Jupiter, Lake Worth, Deerfield, Ft. Lauderdale (Las Olas) and South Beach. M-Th the waves were too rough to get in the water very far from shore. I mainly waded knee deep or just hunted...

    What is going on with my Excal 1000

    I'm getting to test out my Excal in the water for the first time this week in Florida. The surf and wind is too rough to get more than knee deep. It is fun and I found my first gold today. However, something is going on with the machine in Disc. When it hits a target the threshold changes from...

    Lake Worth area local dealer?

    I'm leaving for the Lake Worth area of Florida Saturday and will be at the beach M-Th. I'm sure I will leave my home in Tennessee still needing a detecting item of some kind, the right scoop, etc. Plus, I may (okay - probably) need to stop by and just get a few local tips. Does anyone know of a...

    New water machine?

    When the F75/F4 were released, there was made mention of a new water machine(s) in the future (within 2 years) of Fisher. I just bought a Excaliber and was really thinking I would have probably been better off with a CZ20 that is no longer available. I hesitate to ask what everyone thinks a...

    Lake Worth/Boynton Beach area

    I will be going beach hunting for the first time the last week in April in the Lake Worth/Boynton Beach area. I have a new Excaliber, otter box, a huge scoop, lightning rod, and a saltwater pouch. Can anyone give me any tips as to whether I need anything else before I go, and also what beaches...

    Order of the Crown

    I dug this "different" sounding target today. It was 6" deep or I probably would have debated whether to dig it at all. This was found at a very old academy founded in 1857 by Quakers. On the back it says "Order of Crown". It acts like Gold, but I don't know how the paint has remained on it...

    I need to ID this button. Is there a website that can help find the ID? [attachment 52454 Button_201.jpg] TIA Alton

    V-nickel with F75

    I will repeat, the F75 loves nickels. I haven't been out yet that I didn't find nickels. Before F75, a nickel was somewhat rare. Today I took the F75 back by an old homesite that I use as a proving grounds for detectors these days. I've had every detector I've owned except the XLT over this...

    F75 loves nickels

    I went out to a different park in a different town today not knowing if there would be anything old or not. It didn't take long to determine that there was nothing, trash, silver or otherwise more than 4" deep. I was there about 50 minutes. I had two quarters, 9 dimes, 13 pennies and 8 nickels...
