    harassed by a large fish yesterday

    Went to Sanibel's light house beach yesterday morning. It was windy and pretty choppy so I didn't venture too far out. For those of you who use PI machines I'm sure you have noticed how the small fish circle you at a distance of about 2-3 feet. I sometimes have a halo of minnows circling me from...

    Broke the second AT PRO arm cup

    Well it only took about 4 weeks to break the second arm cup on my ATP. At this point I really don't want to replace it with another from Garrett because I'm sure it will break again. Are there any aftermarket possibly carbon fiber arm cups available? I use it in the water a lot and don't really...

    2 Golds in the last 2 days 22K!

    Went out yesterday and today. had a real good day yesterday. Scored a 6.5 gram 22K men's ring. The other is a 13.1 gram class ring. Also found a couple of earrings and a Samsung camera. Unfortunately the camera wasn't water proof. Lots of people at the beach for the holidays. DC

    Would love to see an AT PRO "water coil"

    As I stated in my post on another thread I really would like to see a water friendly coil for the AT PRO. Since I have the water bugs worked out of mine I really like to use it in the water on some of the trashier beaches to discriminate out the garbage. But the giant coil is murder in the...

    Just want to give Garrett some props!

    I've been using my At Pro quite a bit lately in both fresh and salt water. I'm pretty convinced that the problems it was having before were relating the coil wire connection at the main unit. Keep it tight and well sealed and no problems. The other day I was out at the beach and one of the arm...

    What can I expect over winter in Florida??

    Keep in mind that I'm still a newbie at this (4 mos) and saw my beginning days at detecting at the peak of the summer. When I started this hobby I jumped in head first and haven't looked back. You all are some really great people and I'm happy to be associated with you. Plus in the 4 months I've...

    Finally scored a silver coin while beach hunting

    Was out Monday down at Sanibel and finally scooped a silver coin. Mercury dime (1944), looks as if it's been in the water since 1944! DC

    Went to the Lake today

    Since I was shut out yesterday and only scored a Stainless Steel mens band in the last week. I decided to head to the lake after my morning chores were done. I was up at 7am mowing :). I spent 2 hours there. That place has so many bottle caps and p[ull tops it's ridiculous! Any I managed to get...

    Update on my Sand Shark

    I talked to the owner Vince today and explained my situation. He promised it would be fixed correctly this time or it will be replaced. I asked for a new unit this time but he insisted on repairing this one and promised a new unit if it ever leaks again. I had no choice but take him for his...

    Well it happened again!

    I'm beside myself right now. I got my Sand Shark back Thursday evening and Friday morning I took it to the beach. I spent 8 hours in the water and it worked fine. Today we couldn't go in the water because the surf was just unreal. So I spent about 2 hours ankle to knee deep searching the break...

    Update on my ATP

    When I got back from the (salt water) beach last time out after the ATP was flipping out, I rinsed it off with fresh water and let it dry. Since then I've vowed never to take it to the beach again. I've done a lot of dry sand hunting with it and like it a lot. I think what I like the most is...

    Still waiting for my TESORO Sand Shark to come back

    I sent it off to Tesoro on the 17th of Aug. They received it on the 19th. I called on the 25th for an update and they said it would be soon. Didn't tell me what caused the problem. I asked for an email or something to let me know when it was gonna be shipped back. Lady on the other end said she...

    Dry sand searching is killing me

    I want my Sand Shark back so i can get back in the water. Went out dry sanding today. Went to 3 different beaches being chased by thunderstorms all day. This dry sand stuff is killing me. I want my Sharrk back. BTW, all things found here today are with the AT PRO. It washed it off since the salt...

    morning dry sand hunt

    Since the Sand Shark is in the shop and the AT Pro took a poop yesterday I was forced to dry sand hunt this morning. I have to tell you, those who say water hunting is hard? forget it. I'm dead after 6 hours of swinging that thing over 4 miles total. I started out gridding a specific portion of...

    Totally UNHAPPY with my AT Pro today!

    I sent my AT pro back in after it crapped out on the 4th of July holiday week. I had it in the salt water for a few hours over two days. Well I got it back last week and took it out this morning for a spin in the salt at Clearwater beach. Well it only took about 4 hours before it started...

    Since the Sand Shark is getting fixed I'm taking the AT Pro

    For a swim tomorrow. I'm kind of afraid to do it since I got it back from the last time it went in the water but It's supposed to be done and I can't wait for the Shark to get back. I water proofed the batter O-ring, Head phone connector and Coil connector with silicone grease. I've never struck...

    Ventured down to Siesta Key Beach today

    with the wifey. We've never been there and I wanted to give it a try with the detector. Beautiful beach. nice soft white sand. I briefly talked with a couple of regulars there. They said to expect at least 10 or so guys in the water with detectors. Sure enough I didn't count them all but wholly...
