    Excal II question for Floridabill and others

    I was checking out some older posts from last summer, and I see that a number of people were having trouble with the new Excal II. The general opinion was that the new redesigned coil( mainly 10"?) was the cause of so much of the erratic behavior when it hit the water that new purchasers were...

    5.75 DD coil

    I notice that there are mixed reviews on the stability of the Vaquero on salt beaches. Mine does a lot of falsing. Would the 5.75 DD coil improve this to any noticable degree? Has anyone tried it? Thanks.

    cz20 vs. 21

    I recently read on another forum post that according to the holder of some of the original Fisher patents-it did not say who- that the cz20's, especially the older ones, are "way better" than the new 21's. Can anyone comment on this? Thanks.

    Todays outing

    Got out for a couple of hours today with the Vaquero after a three month hiatus. Been struggling with sudden development of severe arthritis in my knee which makes kneeling difficult. Forced to walk a lot slower too. I am trying to work using a low folding camp stool I got online at SoldierCity...

    Low frequency machine

    What good quality machines less than 10khz operating frequency that work well in mineralized soil for coin hunting are still being made? I know for example that Fisher has discontinued some of their oldies but goodies like the 1212x.

    Water machine question.

    I am wondering if the Tesoro Sand Shark is a good machine for the area that I am in, Tampa Bay specifically or west coast of Fla. in general. I understand that salinity and mineralization conditions differ from one locale to another and a machine suited to my own area is best. I should ask if...

    Newbie question

    I tried this question on another forum and somehow it got deleted. It hardly seems radical or offensive, but simply put: how would one take gps coordinates from some remote location out in the boonies and use them to locate the owner of record of that particular spot? PM me if necessary. Thanks

    Parking lot hunt

    I tried a parking lot downtown yesterday that I hoped would be a good site. It has one of those honor boxes where you are supposed to insert money for the spot you are parked in. I expected to find a lot around the box but only came up with thirty cents. Working around only the edge of one...

    Last two hunts

    Yesterday I went to a popular Recreation park to try my luck. I'd been wanting to give this site a go for a long time. First I double checked with one of the maintenance crew to let someone know what I'd be doing. He was very jovial and totally cool with it. I've noticed that city park workers...

    Todays hunt.

    Went out with the V for a couple of hours to my vacant lot/old house site. Netted 11cents. A 1977 dime and a 1976 penny. The penny exhibits some corrosion even though it is not a zinc cent. Found the usual amount of trash of couse, including pieces of black cast iron which I think must be peices...

    New books

    New to me anyway. Just received Karl Von Meullers "Treasure Hunter's Manual #6" from McAllister and Solomon Books in Wilmington, NC. It is in excellent shape, and at only $19 I consider it to be a steal. #7 is on the way from another dealer. These are getting hard to find at reasonable prices so...

    Todays hunt.

    Went out to the little beach community again today. A good lunch and 29 cents is all I got out of it. 2 dimes, 1 nickel, 4 pennies. But it did include one actual copper 1988D cent in excellent shape and still shiny. I only mention it because finding pennies other than zincs seems to be getting...

    Teusday's hunt.

    Went to a neighboring beach comunity that I have not been to in many years. My Dad would take me swimming there when I was a kid, so it brought back memories. There have been some changes but is still recognizable. The old casino is still there and remains a popular spot for many local dances...

    Latest update, been out sick...:stretcher:

    ...and still trying to get over the bug so am just now getting caught up. I've missed out on a lot of good detecting weather, but was able to get back to my vacant lot/old house site last Tuesday before I got sick. Still experimenting with the settings on the V, I came up with two mem cents and...

    Today's hunt.

    Checked out an old park that I have been wanting to try for some time now. It's most prominent features are a huge old banyan tree and a small round lake. In fact that is the name of the park-Round Lake Park. The tree is just the place for people to gather or kids to play around. In addition to...

    Todays outing

    Was able to get in about 1 1/2 hours of hunting after getting home from work today. Went back to the vacant lot which had been an old house site and is now owned by the city. Found mostly junk and one mem cent. Still trying to learn to trust the machine. It was responding to a lot of small foil...

    Beale, can you give a comparison between the SunRay pro Golds and the new Ratphones? Thanks.

    Latest finds

    Took the vaquero to a vacant city owned lot a couple weeks ago where an old house use to stand. Found 12 cents and a lot of junk so far but still a lot to do. Earlier this week I took it for the first time to a huge city park and found 50 cents under the swing sets. It takes a lot of time going...
