    Got kicked out of my Park

    Hello All, I was detecting the park up the street the other day which I have detected for that last twenty years. There is not much left in that park except "iffy" targets. I have never had a problem with park personnel. I have always just waved and said hello without any issues. The other...

    Battery Life with CZ6A

    Hello All, Just a quick question about battery life with the 6A. I'm using rechargeable 9V batteries and they seem to go for only about 6 hours? Does that seem about right? I used to hunt with the Sand Shark and the battery life was much longer so I have to be careful when I'm out there with...

    How long can you hunt without burning out?

    Hello all, I was on the beach yesterday for about four hours and that was all I could take. I was seeing double and started tripping over myself. I read in one of Clives books that he hunts for twelve hour stretches sometimes. Didn't get much on the beach yesterday just two junkers. Today I...

    Strap Support for CZ6A

    Hello all, The older CZs can get a little heavy on your arm if you use them without some kind of support strap. I made this little strap connector out of a piece of .050" thick stainless steel sheet metal. The connector slides up under the batter compartment tie down screws to keep it in...

    Question about dealing with black sand with a CZ

    I love the CZ6A but like with any VLF detector, it struggles in the black sand. Even PI's do. I've found that I can do one of two things. Either lower the sensitivity down to around 2 or raise the coil quite high above the sand. My question is which one of those two options is be best in...

    Are you superstitious?

    Had the CZ6A out at the park a few days ago and the first thing I found was a good luck charm. Not bad. Within five minutes I dug a signal that had two rings in it. One large mans silver ring and a gold plated junker. Within the next five minutes I dug a 1961 silver dime out of that park...

    Question about salt mode

    What is the difference between salt mode and normal mode besides the obvious. Do you lose a little depth by going to salt mode? Just wondering. Harvdog

    What is the best "Classic" Fisher for the wet sand?

    Hello All, I have had my 1265 since I bought it new...I'm not sure how many years ago. I'll never part with it. My P.I. went on the blink today so I broke out my trusty 1265 to hunt the beach. The 1265 is an awesome dry sand detector with good but not great depth. But it comes up a little...

    Depth of 8" coil vs 10"

    Just to make this depth issue have a few more variables, how does the 8" coil compare to the 10" in depth. I've heard that the 8" is a little deeper on small targets but as we all know...you can't believe everything you read. I primarily hunt the wet sand so let's assume for this discussion...

    Time to Look for a New Beach?

    Hello All, I maybe have a bad habit of searching the same beach. I know it so well. My ratio this weekend was 3 to 1. Three silver to one gold. The gold is a pretty little 10K lady's ring. The twist is that although targets were plentiful this weekend, including a lot of sinkers and other...

    Ratio holds true this weekend

    I've always figured that I find about four silver items to one gold item. This held true this weekend on the beach. The ring is a small 10K with the main stone missing. By the way...for those that hunt land with an F-70, the ring ID's at 21. Harvdog

    Having Trouble with my Sov GT

    Just got a new/used GT and it worked fine for a couple days. The guy sold it to me at precisely the right time...wouldn't you know. Not his fault though. He sold me a working detector. Today at the house, I turned it on without the coil connected and got a squeal from the speaker so I knew...

    Nice Religious Medallion

    The finds have been pretty slim for me so far in 2010. Last week I pulled the silver ring from the dry only because the wet was sanded in bad. Today I pulled this 14K, 6 gram religious medallion from the quasi wet. It was in between furrows as sometimes but rarely happens. Detecting is like...

    Paper Money found while Looting

    Hey All, I think most of us have eyeballed paper money while detecting or strolling somewhere. I think the biggest bill I ever found at the beach was a $20. The corner of the bill was protruding just above the dry sand. My daughter found a $50. last year at the beach while tanning. The...

    WTB: Used SOVEREIGN GT

    Just saw a post about waterproofing a Soveriegn GT. I'm a tinkerer at heart and would like to take on a project like this. I can't justify paying over a G for an Excal 11 so this would be the next best thing...I think. Harvdog

    Night Vision Goggles

    Someone brought up an interesting subject on another forum about hunting at night with night vision goggles. I have never worn or used night vision goggles but it sounds like an interesting concept in that you would almost be totally inconspicuous. I've hunted at night before on the beach but...

    Discriminator Thumb Knob, Re-Design

    Hello All, I did a little mod to the discriminator thumb knob I posted earlier by making the knurl or the grooves deeper. There's no slipping with your thumb now. I ran a batch of these knobs and have them for sale in the accessory forum. I'm not making much if anything on these knobs but...
