    Good Finds...

    Breaking salt water beaches into three areas: dry sand / wet sand / surf. I know that the best jewlery finds usually come from the surf. But leaving that aside for the moment, I am noticing that over the past year I am making more good jewlery finds in the dry sand than the wet sand...

    Urgent Question on the Ace 250

    So I just bought an Ace 250 as my backup detector and for exploring my local beaches. I also buy the 8.5 x 11" DD coil that is advertised as being compatable with the 250. I figure the DD coil will handle the mineralized soil better. I hook it up, turn on the detector and it immediately...

    Aarrgghh!!

    Well, I just bought a new Golden uMax to replace the one I foolishly sold. I got it home and assembled and it and as soon as I started air testing I knew something was wrong. Most targets, including coins, were giving me a scratchy signal and the dime was barely picked up at all. Depth on...

    A Golden uMax Question

    If you run with your discrimination set at IRON, and did not use any notching but instead relied on the tones only, would you still get signals at 7"-8" in mild soil?

    Cibola & Vaquero

    Aside form the fact that one has manual ground balance and the other does not, are there any other significant differences betwene the two. I have looked at the specs of both machines and cannot find any, so I thought I'd ask the users. I have owned a Cibola, but never a Vaquero.

    GOLD BUG 2...

    ..at the beach. Has anyone used it there to hunt jewelry? I'm just curious if it performed in wet sand or did you need to stick to dry sand only?

    If You Metal Detect The Beach, Read This

    Florida is about to pass what it calls SR 868. This bill makes it illegal to remove anything from an archaeological site. Nothing surprising about that. But it doesn't stop there. It also says that if you remove an "SPECIMEN" from any state sovereignty land, which includes public beaches, then...

    Gold Bug Pro, First Impressions

    Ok, I took my Gold Bug Pro to a flea market area that's been in use for years and I have permission to hunt. It always produces several good finds every time I go. I have been metal detecting for a couple of years now. Not long enough to be expert, but I've used enough machines to gather a...

    Joined The Gold Bug Family

    Hi everyone. Just bought my Gold Bug Pro this weekend. I did a lot of comparison shopping for the features I wanted and after several weeks of research, I finally landed on the Gold Bug Pro, the small coil twin of the Gold Bug DP/G2. I was pressed for time this weekend, so I only got a in a 2...

    rename the v3 to the bellagio

    Just goes to show that no detector, no matter how good it is, will suit everyone's taste. I've owned a couple of good detectors I could never quite connect with and sold them. No harm, no foul.

    Thanks for the input guys. I really appreciate it.

    V3 & Weight

    I will, but I wanted to hear from people who have actually used it in the field.

    Vaquero & Bottlecaps

    I was just curious how you Vaqueor users deal with bottlecaps. Do you identify them by tone or do you have to turn up your discrimination, and if so, how far? I am only speaking of bottlecaps in general. There are always a few that will get through no matter what you do.

    Vaquero & Bottlecaps

    Just wondering how you Vaquero users deal with bottlecaps. Are they clearly identifed by their tone, or do you have to turn up the discrimination? And if so, how high do you typically set it? I am only speaking about bottlecaps generally. I know there are always at least a few that will get...

    V3 & Weight

    I'm curious to find out how users of the V3 feel about its weight. I would imagine using a smaller coil helps, but do you find the weight of the machine well balanced? How long can you use it before your arms becomes overly tired? I am really intrigued by this detector but I have to admit I'm...

    Gold Chains

    I'm presuming that the G2/GB Pro will hit better on small gold better than just about any other detector. But how does it do on gold chains? I would imagine it locks on to the clasp rather than the chain. Does the VID number lock on fairly well, or does it jump around a lot? Trying to choose...
