    Ring return update

    The other day I posted that I spent about three hours looking for a guys ring. Well, we met up today and he got it back. He was a happy man and slapped 50 bucks for my troubles on me. DC

    We're all BUMS!

    The other day I was loading up after hunting at the beach and was parked parallel to the sidewalk. An older (70's-ish) woman was walking by and stopped to asked how I did. She then asked me if I found enough to get something to eat! Not thinking I said no, I never do. She asked if I needed some...

    Man gold is tough to find lately, but I found one

    Has anyone else noticed that gold rings seem to have disappeared? A guy came up to me in the water yesterday who lost his wedding band. I spent 2 hours looking for it yesterday but never did find it. After hitting several beaches today without any luck I went back to where he lost his ring and...

    May have found my first Platinum ring

    I found this ring yesterday. I didn't think much of it when I found it, just put it in the pouch thinking it was silver. When I got back to the car I looked at it with the loupe. It has 950 stamped in it. However, there are several CZ stones in it which kinda has me puzzled. Why would someone...

    Had an encounter with a couple of dolphins today

    Sorry, couldn't resist. Dolphin ring, 7.53g of 14K with 3 diamonds and a huge green opal. The earring is the first gold earring I've ever found. 1.16g of 14K. Found using the CZ21. DC

    CZ-21 Fresh water settings and techniques

    Went to a local lake this moring to see how the cz21 would do in fresh water. This is a lake with a consideralable amount of trash in it. I started out on 5 and ended using 3 on the discrimination. Then after a while I would be on 3 and hit a target and turn up the disc. to see where it would...

    First outting with the CZ21 nets gold w/ice

    Got the new CZ-21 Friday. Took it out today and really like it. Scored a nice white 14K, 5.58g ring with 8 nice (real) diamonds! I really like the detector. Takes a little getting used to from the Sand Shark. I really like the discrimination features. Not one bobby pin today! Aluminum sounds...

    Ground balancing CZ21

    Got my new CZ the other day. Started playing with it trying to get used to it. I was able to figure out ground balancing in the yard but when I went to the beach in the water I couldn't seem to get the same response from it. I hunted all day with it without a hitch, just couldn't get the tone...

    In a twist of fate I lost my watch yesterday

    I was a Clearwater Beach heading back to the car and when I got there I notice my Casio G Shock was gone! So if any of you guys who hunt Clearwater find a G Shock north of the pier let me know. Chris

    CZ21 users, I have a question

    I'm seriously considering buying a CZ21. The question is which coil to go with 8 or 10? I'm used to swinging an 8" Sand Shark and that cuts through the water like a hot knife through warm butter. Which coil is deeper and what other advantages are there? Thanks DC

    Hit a number of beaches today, trifecta!

    Gold, silver and junker. 10 hour day today. Started out wanting to hit the water and found the surf pretty tough. I found the small plated ring within the first 15 minutes. Didn't have my glasses so I thought it was gold, oh well. Left that beach and headed to another stretch with the AT Pro dry...

    Todays loot, more GOLD!

    Had a pretty good morning. Set out to look for a guy's ring he lost yesterday. I had no luck finding it but did manage my second gold (3.66g 10K DC ring), a silver ring, a nice silver ID bracelet and some other stuff. Bumped into Les also. Good to see you again Les! DC

    FINALLY broke the "no gold for 2012" streak

    Headed out early this morning. I was surprised by the amount of hunters on our usual beach on a Tuesday that time of the morning. Must be quite a few newbies. Snagged a tiny (2.54 G) 18K ring for my first gold of the year. Also got scored a real nice .925 ring with my wife's birth stone...and...

    I scored an awesome wedding set! Holy cow!

    That was until I got back to the PT cruiser and took a look at them with a loupe. Was dry sand hunting this morning. Waaay too many people on CWB so I headed to a more secluded beach. I was almost ready to leave when I hit on these with the sand shark. I saw gold before I scooped them up so I...

    Sand Shark in for repairs the 3rd time in 8 mos

    I love the way this machine works when it's working correctly. I shipped it back a few weeks ago while I was having shoulder surgery thinking I would get it back long before I was ready and capable of going back out detecting. I called a little over a week ago to find out what the statis was and...

    Ya gotta love Garrett's service!

    While I was down for shoulder surgery I decided to send in both my ATPro and my Tesoro Sand Shark for some needed warranty work. I boxed up the ATP and shipped it off. No phone call just a noted stating what the problems were. Inside of 2 weeks I come home with a box on the doorstep. Yesterday I...

    Gonna be down for a while

    I'm not looking forward to this but I've needed shoulder surgery for a while now. I want to get it done and healed before the summer season gets here. I should have had it done by now but things just haven't worked out. So for the couple of months that I won't be able to go out and find cool...

    For those who detect Clearwater Beach

    Got up real early this morning for low tide. When I hit the main beach I saw that I wasn't the only one there. I have to say the place looked like a moon scape. Huge craters everywhere and some were friggin HUGE! I was still dark and there were joggers and walkers out. I was afraid one would...

    Modified my scoop handle

    Personally I like this scoop. I'm sure there is better but I bought this one so I use what I have. I was needing a new handle as the old one (2nd one this year) was on it's last legs. So aside from installing a new wooden handle I added the aluminum tube from the grip to the scoop. This...

    Sand Shark and small gold chains

    I bought my wife a small gold chain for Christmas and decided to do a test to see if the SS could detect it. Guess what? Nothing! not even the 18K diamond cross pendant that was on it. This has me thinking I must be missing a ton of stuff out there. Any ideas on this? I wonder why it's not...
