    Beach confusion…

    Yes. We saw a couple digging a large hole in North Myrtle beach a few years back looking for shells. Talked to them, reminded them to fill it in when they left. Next day heard that an elderly lady fell into the hole and broke a hip. Was still not filled in. Wife and I filled it in. Some people...

    Beach confusion…

    The people putting up the umbrellas use a heavy metal T handle rod to make the hole for the umbrella; that is a metal tool. The big beach rake that they clean the beach with every day is a big metal tool. You will see people all over the place using scoops (metal tools) to pick up shells like...

    Beach confusion…

    In Myrtle Beach and Panama City Beach where metal shovels have been outlawed, the wording says something like metal digging tools readily available in garden supply stores ... or something like that. I have had no problem using my stainless scoop on those beaches and have not been approached by...

    Gold...sell or hold ?????

    I'm still holding. Most of the analysis says it will rise more. https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/goldman-sachs-gold/2025/02/18/id/1199458/

    Strange problem with Excalibur

    That is where I had a crack that gave some very weird detector noises and false signals, but mine did not sound off continuously.

    Perfect setup for doing electrolysis cheap

    I use the model train power supplies that were just laying around from the model train sets. Can pick them up used for good prices if you don't have one. Though the price on the one in the video new is not bad either.

    Compadre fired up again

    Got a call from wife's cousin who has a neighbor looking for his property corner stakes. Asked if I had a detector they could borrow to find them. Compadre had been packed away for about three years so I got it out of the box, put a battery in it and tested it. Good 10 inches air test on a...

    Nice Gold Chain Today With The AT Pro

    Nice chain. Can any AT Pro users who have used it on the ocean beach head over to the "beach and water forum" and reply to the "Need Help" post on how to set it up for use at the salt water beach?

    Need help

    I've used the F75 on the beach over the wet and dry sand. My recommendation is run it in all metal. Ground balance it and check ground balance frequently. Ground balancing to the wet saltwater sand will have ground balance in the single digits and most likely between 1 and 3 over the very wet...

    A Darn Good Story

    I know one guy who was doing a ring return a number of years ago and when he went to drop the ring off, two police officers met him and said the lady said he stole the ring from her. He got a lawyer and eventually cleared it all up but he never returned another detector find to anyone ever again.

    Cz5 coils

    The reason I'm not configured that way is that I hunt in nearly all all-metal mode (autotune) and when over a target flip the discriminate knob to disc 0 to listen to tones. It is an easy flip and then back with a thumb on the standard shaft but takes much more moving around to do the mode flip...

    Cz5 coils

    Fisher made a 5 inch, 8 inch and 10.5 inch coil. Sunray made a FZ-12, 12.5 inch coil that are as hard as hen's teeth to find. They are all concentric coils. I read that there was a DD coil made but not in production. The 8 inch is the best overall use coil. If you are in a lot of trash the 5...

    A new approach to digging

    I don't see that working at all well in the water. Insert would be moved off the hook and be on the bottom, cans would be floated out of the container, glass bottles might stay in for a while but as soon as a wave rolls you over, the bottles will be spilled out anyway. Looks like a dry sand set...

    A new approach to digging

    I love the 920 with the hybrid hole pattern. I don't want to carry an extra piece with me when little stuff is in the mix. Even worse in the water where an effort to snap in the extra piece will most probably cause me to get pushed off the target by water movement. The extra price of the hybrid...
