    Batteries for White's Dual Field

    Not sure where to post this so I will be posting on this plus the White's User forum on this site and on the PI technology forum. There has been a few postings about batteries for the White's Dual Field PI. I do not want to use Lithium Ion batteries as they are explosive around water. I hate...

    Nickle Zinc batteries for Surf Dual Field PI

    There has been a few postings about batteries for the White's Dual Field PI. I do not want to use Lithium Ion batteries as they are explosive around water. I hate buying disposable batteries. Plus I like the idea of more capacity for longer sessions without having to recharge or replace...

    Is there a change going on? PI vs VHF

    I notice that a lot of folks who use the Excalibur machines have now started using the White's Surf PI dual field machines in the wet sand and water. While I was in Florida last week, I noticed that there were more dual fields than normal on Siesta beach as before where Excaliburs were the rule...

    For sale....long handled sand scoop

    I built a scoop for myself and it really works great. I took all my years of water and beach hunting experience and decided that the scoops available were not what I wanted. So I decided to build one myself. I had extra material laying around and decided to make another one. So here it is...

    What to watch for when installing a remote switch

    I recently did the Excalibur remote pin point / discriminate switch modification and I just wanted to let people know what to look out for when doing this modification. I will say that it is one of the neatest.....bestest (I know, that is not a word), coolest modifications you can do to your...

    Did the remote pin point discriminate switch thing

    All I can say is thanks to Mel Parker and Joe (OldBeechnut) for blazing the way on information for the remote pin point switch. Your videos, pictures and posts made it pretty simple. Actually the hardest part was tig welding the mount for the toggle switch on to the aluminum grab handle...

    Scoop dreams....I wanted a new scoop....

    I was somewhat happy with my Beach Brute scoop but I sold it a while ago. It was big for sure. It really dug up a lot of sand...but most of the sand was sideways.....it was wide but not as deep as I wanted. So I sold it on E-bay and sat down and figured I don't want to spend another $150 to...

    Hurricanes and what to do.......metal detecting

    In case you are planning on going to the Outer Banks to metal detect after hurricane Irene passes......some advice. There will be some damage and so the area will be cut off by officials for only property owners for about a week or two depending on how bad the storm is. So don't plan on going...

    any sources for IP68 sealed toggle switch for Excalibur ?

    I'm getting my parts together for an Excalibur remote switch for pinpoint/discriminate modes. Has anyone found a supplier of IP68 rated on off toggle or rocker switches? I've been looking for switches all day Googling and so far have found several suppliers in Europe but none so far in the US.

    Ace 250 on Arby's commercial

    Was watching TV for the first time in a long time and what did I see? An Arby's commercial with a guy standing next to a seated couple. He was holding an Ace 250 and they were eating sandwiches. The ad stated that if you are looking for treasure, then go to Arby's to get their golden roast...

    Sometimes it just isn't what you think it is!

    Was out with the Excalibur II and the new earbud modification. I like to use the Excalibur II 1500, as I call it as it has the WOT coil on it, on land too. So I decided to hit a local school yard that I have hit in the past. It is right next to an old church and cemetery. I was hitting some...

    Lost Jewelry in Lake Erie

    Was at Mentor Headlands state park this last weekend and had several people come up to me asking if I could find their lost jewelry. One guys said that he had lost a 1.5 ounce gold chain somewhere in the water straight from the concession stand. Unfortunately I forgot to recharge my battery...

    Any documented metal detectorists eaten by sharks?

    I was talking to one of my friends about my metal detecting in the Gulf and the Atlantic side. He asked me if I had ever heard of any folks who detect in the water that were killed by sharks. He is a diver and was wondering because he heard about a shark repellent device that uses electronic...

    wood handle or aluminum?

    I am in the process of building a water scoop. I can TIG weld and so it will be aluminum with a riveted stainless lip. I have seen some of the scoops with a wood handle and was wondering if that is a plus or a minus? In the past I have owned scoops with the aluminum handles but while I...
