    Why All the Mystery Surrounding Whites Detectors??

    I'm interested in adding the new Whites Surf Pro Dual Field PI to my arsenal but I'm having a hard time finding much by way of feedback on this unit from any of the forums. I realize that it is a comparatively new unit but by now I would have expected to hear something substantial by way of...

    The Boys Are Back In Town

    The past three months I've spent fighting it out with Bermuda Immigration to bring my Master Cabinetmakers Mike and Scott back to Bermuda from Canada. Mike and Scott worked for me when I was building the Newstead Hotel and have now come back to Bermuda to work for me at my new company. When you...

    A Good Return - Sort of:clap:

    I share our private beach with the Cambridge Beaches Resort Hotel and as a result I've gotten to know and befriend most of the staff there. I was pleasantly surprised the other day when I ran into Captain Bully today as I pulled into one of my job sites. Bully is the Groundskeeping Manager at...

    This Evenings Hunt at Horseshoe Bay, guess what Bertha delivered??

    [attachment 98367 medium.jpg] A GREAT BIG STINKER!:sadwalk: I knew I was in trouble as soon as I entered the water. A 2-3 foot chop was running up the beach and the whole bottom was undulating piles of soft, mushy sand. It was full high tide (you can't hunt the beaches in Bermuda between 10...

    Stupid Hurricane Tricks

    Most everything shut down in Bermuda yesterday at noon due to the 'Storm'. I picked up my Princess from work and dropped her co-worker off then headed for home. Having the afternoon off together, the Princess and I indulged in a hurricane tradition of popping the cork on a bottle of Veuve...

    By tonight the wait will be over - Hurricane Bertha will have arrived in Bermuda

    [attachment 98000 at200802_sat.jpg] It's been a week of watching and waiting to see if we're going to get hit by this hurricane. A frontal system coming off the eastern seaboard caused Bertha to stall 200 miles off the shores of Bermuda and managed to weaken her. By the time Bertha hits...

    Good Luck and Bad Luck

    I went to go hunting the hurricane tossed waters of Horseshoe Bay this morning and discovered that the blue headphones on my Excal had been stepped on by the housepainter and the main harness was split in two.:ranting: I grabbed some electrical tape and spliced it back together in time to make...

    Two Hours Riding Galloping White Horses at Horseshoe Bay

    Hurricane Bertha has been making her way patiently towards Bermuda for the past week and is now hovering off our shores. Bertha seems to have stalled for the moment as a front pushing in from the Eastern Seaboard holds her in check at least for the moment. We're not experiencing the hurricane...

    Surf PI Pro Dual Field - A Leap Forward or just a gimmick?

    I've been planning on adding a PI machine to my arsenal for the past year now but nothing has made me think there is a PI machine that will significantly outperform my Excal. The new Surf PI Pro Dual Field may just be the machine I've been waiting for as the TDI by Whites looks like it is going...

    I may Win a Detectorpro Pirate Tonight, anybody swing one??

    I'm front runner in a contest where the 1st prize is a Vibraprobe but the general prize is a Detectorpro Pirate which I also have a good shot at. Obviously, the Pirate can't replace my Excal or my CZ21 but Iwas thinking it might make a good back up detector or I could leave it at my home in...

    Silver Surf Church at Horseshoe Bay

    After some success at Horseshoe Bay yesterday I decided to attend Surf Church at Horseshoe Bay this morning for the 7:01 AM low tide. Never a fan of early mornings I dutifully set the alarm for 5:30 so I'd be awake enough to drive to Horseshoe by 6:30.(no coffee - no drive):goodnight...

    Finally the Sand Shifted!:detecting:

    Low tide was at around 6:30pm in Bermuda this evening, which is perfect because the lifeguards at Horseshoe Bay go home at 6:00pm and that leaves me free to hunt the surf. I've been badly sanded in for the past couple of months and nothing has seemed to have changed things in the conditions...

    The Bermuda Gunpowder Plot

    The Bermuda Gunpowder Plot [attachment 92690 stamps12.jpg] COMMEMORATIVE STAMP In the spring of 1775, General George Washington became aware of a dire situation for the Revolutionary Army surrounding Boston which kept the British forces bottled up. The Revolutionary Army was desperately low...

    CA-21 has landed in Bermuda:thumbup:

    Now I get to learn a new machine from scratch, part frustration part challenge I bet. Everything arrived as promised and I just got it assembled. Looking forward to learning the CZ-21 and making it sing for me like my Excal does. Any CZ-20/21 users (hey it's the same machine) who want to...

    Man is it Ever Quiet! I Guess I Better Write Another Story.:cool:

    Everybody has got a story in them, even if they've told it a hundred times to friends and strangers alike. C'mon kids, tell us all a story cause we haven't heard it before. Even if we have heard it before, we'll still laugh or cry just as hard the second time around. I'll have one for you in...

    Excal 1000 is still acting up - CZ-21 is inbound.:thumbup:

    Those who know me also know that I LOVE my Excal 1000 and who wouldn't with all the loot it has helped to put in my loot chest. Sadly, the Excal is due for an overhaul as she keeps falsing once I leave the water and move up the wet sand (I suspect a leak at the coil). Working the transition...

    The Sound of Silence.:(

    I've not experienced sanded in beaches this late in the season before, but I'm experiencing it now. My favorite beaches are like an exercise in meditation it's so quiet out in the waves. I did hit a local beach the other day and found two rings but they both turned out to be...

    Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back In The Water

    It was a busy day in Bermuda today, as I had to run the Princess into Coral Beach Spa for her pampering session. That gave me a couple of hours to kill until she'd been sufficiently pampered so I headed down to Elbow Beach to try my luck. [attachment 89626 P5020009.JPG] The Surf God wasn't...

    Anyone heard anything more about the underwater version of the new White TDI PI machine??

    It's gone quiet lately and even a dealer I know is completely mum on the subject. I'm prepared to give him my $$$'s but he's got nothing to say about the TDI submersible. Anyone?? BDA:cool:

    Gold Results for My 2nd Year with the Excal

    2 years ago I bought an Excal for my 46th birthday as a present to myself and I've had no regrets with that decision. Birthdays are a time for assessment at least for this Pirate. So today I did a tally of my loot and it was pretty good for the time between my 46th and 47th birthdays. I took a...
