    Daytona hunt questions?

    I've about decided to go to the Daytona hunt April 27-29. I've been to inland hunts before, but not to the beach hunt. One of the restrictions is that the scoop handle be no longer than 38". I'm trying to decide what shoes to wear, what kind (fast or what, I don't think my Excal would be the...

    Fisher website will remain at the same location

    I just called Fisher today to request a copy of Fisher Intelligence 6th edition. I reported to them that the website links didn't work and the site was "buggie". I also asked if they would keep that site or would Fisher be on First Texas website. They told me they were aware of the problems...

    F75 on depth

    I went back to the old homesite that I've been going to for the last few months now. I'v been over it dozens of times and I'm basically using it as a test site to compare and decide what the capabilities of my detectors are. I took the F75 to the park the first hunt and was pleased. Right away...

    Thinking about my first saltwater hunt

    I'm considering traveling to Myrtle Beach or Pensacola. They are about the same distance from here. Which would be likely to be more productive this time of the year? Does either have any restrictions on MDing? Is any particular beach in those areas better than others? TIA for your comments...

    First day out with F75

    The F75 came today. Initial Pros and Cons: Pros: 1. This unit is wonderfully light and well balanced. 2. It is fast processor wise and also using it sweep speed wise. 3. At first the menu seems confusing, but just a few minutes of using it and it is a piece of cake. Easy to navigate in very...

    When I came home from the grocery store...

    ... this was on the porch! I'll give you one guess as to what is in the box. I'm going hunting and I'll post more info when I get back home. Alton

    I'm going to have to join Detector's anonymous

    My copy of the F-75 should arrive tomorrow. Hopefully this will curb my recent binge of buying metal detectors. Oh well, it is still much cheaper than buying boats and gear when fishing was my hobby, or lens and camera bodies when it was photography. It for sure is much cheaper than the Honda...

    I wonder which forum the F75 will be in

    From all the traffic this forum has had the F75 could use one of it's own. It would almost be justified to put it in the T2 forum, but I've never seen two different brands (although they are both under First Texas now) have a shared forum. Plus, I think the F75 will be different enough from the...

    14" Excelerator Coil

    The last few years I have seen many different comments about this coil, mainly positive ones. I ordered it yesterday. For those that use it I was wanting your opinions on depth. The add at Kellyco claims that sometimes the depth is doubled. I don't know if I'm a believer about that. I do think...

    Only now do I realize how pampered I've become (long)

    I got my Excaliber late Friday afternoon and charged the battery overnight. Yesterday morning I tried it out for the first time on some coins I had put down in the yard. I think "Man, there is not much difference in the sounds from one item to another!". It is then I reaize that I have been...

    First Texas website?

    I cannot find a website for First Texas. Do they have one? Does it have any information about the F-75 and their other products there? If anyone has the link, please post it. TIA

    Tomorrow is the day!

    My Explorer XS (now have an SE) and CZ3d sold after being on consignment with my local dealer and he now has my Excaliber ready. I can pick it up tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it is the 10" coil variety. I'll drop by and get my new TVA permit tomorrow also in order to be ready for the warm...

    Sanborn Insurance Maps

    Does anyone know where you can buy the old Sanborn Insurance maps? I've seen the ones for Maryville Tennesee in our library but you can't take them out of there. I would like to scan them and overlay them in photoshop over current maps. TIA Alton

    Excaliber, a brand new start.

    I'm in detector overload lately trying to decide which water detector to buy, reading reviews, talking with friends. Something about that reminds me of buying a computer and trying to decide what to include and what not too. I've pretty much decided on the Excaliber, and now I'm trying to...

    PI Discrimination

    Hello all, I'm about to buy my first water machine. I'm looking at the Garrett Infinium, the Excaliber, and investigating other PIs. I will mainly use it on freshwater beaches here in east Tennesee and yearly brief visits to Florida. I will maybe go chest high in the water. I will mainly just...

    Infinium users?

    Does the discrimination work well enough to help you miss most of the iron? I know that all detectors can false on iron. And, I know that VLF's discriminate better than PI. I hope to get a detector to use on the beach and in shallow water. I plan on digging all conductive targets anyway so as...

    FS Fisher 1236-X2, Explorer XS

    Never used the first set of batteries in 1236. Mint condition. I have it on consignment with Detector Depot who can handle the transactionn easier and take your credit card. It can be seen here: http://www.detectordepot.com/used_metal_detectors.htm XS comes with X1 probe and works great!

    Upgraded Excal?

    Okay, you guys have me pretty well convinced about the Excal from my "What is different about the Excal" post. I've noticed that the Excal is at least 10 years at the same model. I was wondering if there have been improvements and modifications over the years. The only thing I'm a little leery...

    After all these years...

    ... I'm still doing something wrong! I've been using an Explorer for 5 years now. Just got the new SE and I love it. I've had a variety of other detectors too. And I have to admit something, and ask for the members here for help. I can't find really deep targets! To explain further, my new...

    Has anyone noticed that the ML 800 is only...

    a little less than 7.5" in diameter. It is quite a bit smaller than my Sunray 8. That said, it is a great little coil. HH Alton
