    Dive Shaft Setups. Let's see them... :detecting:

    I'm looking to upgrade from my my stock Excalibur "S" shafts to something a bit more ergonomic. My plan now is to eliminate the entire aluminum upper and run a one piece carbon fiber rod the full length from the coil to the control housing. Has anyone here made any custom shafts for diving...

    WTT Sovereign 10" Tornado coil for 8" Tornado coil.

    I have a 10" Sovereign Tornado coil with cover that I would like to trade for an 8" Tornado coil. The 10" coil is in great condition with a full length cable and just some light scratches on the coil cover. I would like the 8" coil to be the same. I'll also consider trading it for one of the...

    I'm tired, dirty and only 8 cents to show for it. :detecting:

    I spent an exhausting 6 hours today busting brush, fighting off the bugs and digging in a rain soaked mud pit. Most people would consider it torture, but I prefer to call it dedication. :biggrin: The finds were few an far between and the drenched soil was playing havoc on my E-Trac, I wasn't...

    WANTED Upper rod off E-Trac or Explorer (Can be broken or just a short piece))

    I'm looking for the upper aluminum rod section off an explorer or E-trac. I will be cutting it into pieces so a low priced broken rod (Or even a short piece of the rod) would be ideal. Let me know if anyone has one they may want to part with. Thanks. John.

    How Can Finding 6 Pieces of Silver Be The Worst Day of Dectecting Ever? :ranting:

    When you go to your favorite park and find out that they have closed the entire property to metal detecting! :ranting::cry: :ranting: I live close to a city owned park and it's my "go to" place when I only have an hour or two to detect. I've been detecting it for the past 3 years and it's...

    I'm looking for a couple used/unused lower dive shafts for the Excalibur. If anyone has one of more that they would be willing to part with please send me a PM with details. I'll also consider buying just the plastic ends for the Sovereign or Excaliburs low shafts as well. Thanks. John.

    Shaft setup for diving with the Excal.

    For those of you diving or snorkeling with the Excalibur how do you have the detector setup? Anyone using an upper shaft other than the stock one? Any thoughts on mounting the controls to a weight harnes and using a short handheld rod for the coil? ? I'll be hunting mostly with a DC hookah...

    Golf courses........ Anyone ever try metal detecting them? :shrug:

    This might seem like a bit on an odd question, but has anyone ever tried metal detecting a golf course? I live in an area that is surrounded by golf courses, and many of them are quite old. I know getting permission would be an issue, and updates to the course may very well have buried the...

    Tax Question. (Regarding Metal Detecting Finds).

    Say someone was to find a significant amount of gold jewelry in a particular tax year, but did not sell the items until the following year. Would they be responsible for paying income taxes on the gold for the year in which the items were found? Or in the year in which they were sold? Also...

    Sunray X-1 Probe and Minelab Upper Shaft.

    I had this listed this a few weeks back, but have decided to drop the price and try again here before going to fee-bay. It's an early model Sunray X-1 probe installed on an Explorer XS upper shaft. Everything works as it should, the only flaws are some normal marks from use and the clips for...

    A Few More Silvers And A Broken Shovel.. :smile:

    The temps climbed up into the upper 30's today, so I hit the drained lake I have been hammering for the past few weeks. I ended up hunting for 3 hours and the 2-3" thick layer of frozen sand made digging very difficult. I did manage to pick up a couple Sterling Silver rings along with a 1956...

    The Highs and lows of detecting & BIG GOLD! :detecting:

    After driving to a drained lake I've been hunting the past few weeks I stepped out of the truck and soon realized that I had left my headphones at home :rage: Not wanted to make the long drive back I decided to hunt without them, and walked down to the lake only to see dozens of small mounds...

    For Sale....Sun-Ray X-1 Probe and 6x8" SEF Coil.

    I have an early model X-1 probe that works with the Minelab E-Trac and Explorers. It's mounted on an Explorer XS shaft, so you would need to put it on another upper shaft for use on the newer Explorers or E-Trac. Asking $135 shipped for the probe and upper shaft as shown. I also have a...

    Wanted to Trade.. Minelab Explorer XS for Tesoro Tiger Shark

    I recently purchased a Minelab Explorer XS as I wanted some of the accessories that came with it for my E-Trac. I don't really need another Explorer, so I am looking to trade it for something I do need (A backup Tesoro Tiger Shark). The Explorer comes with an 8" FBS coil, alkaline battery pack...

    FS SEF Coil Collection (For Minelab E-Trac, Explorer, Quattro and Safari Detectors.

    I have a nice collection of 3 SEF coils for the Minelab E-Trac and Explorer series. These were used primarily on my E-Trac and I have made some great finds with them over the past year. They are all in great shape with hardly any wear. (The cable on the 6X8 is a bit of a bear to get through...

    Awesome first hunt of the year! :detecting:

    It's been unseasonably warm here in Michigan, but up until this evening I had resisted the urge to do any January detecting. There's a big cold front and snow on the way tomorrow, so I figured today would be my last chance before Spring. Now I'm regretting not going out earlier! :rage: No...
