    Another Hunt With The New SE and Another Success

    I have to qualify "Success", as we hit a couple of farm fields that were very unproductive. One was barren and the other had a house bulldozed in it. My buddy Darren and his dad took me to some bean fields in North Carolina. All we knew was they had been hunted before. We hit the first...

    Explorer SE: Backyard Test Range and First Hunt...Both A Success.

    Not overwhlemingly...as I suspected, it's like hunting with an old friend. But maybe one that has learned a few new tricks. I have 9 targets buried along the fence in the backyard, from 6" to 8" deep, about 6 years ago. They have all sunk at least an inch or so and due to the hardness of the...

    Explorer SE...First Impressions

    And so fresh, I haven't even HUNTED with it yet. But I had it sent to my work (Thanks JW and KellyCo!) so I wouldn't have to chase it down at UPS tonight. And so far I've assembled it and played with it a little...on my BREAK, of course! :lol: So here's what I like so far. 1) The Darth Vader...

    Minelab Explorer II...SOLD! Thanks RedRockNvDFX!!! On it's way tomorrow!

    I have an Explorer II with a NiMH battery, charger, alkaline battery pack, coil cover, and control box cover. Machine is in outstanding condition. It has done me proud many times and has been babied from day one. The coil has never touched the ground. The coil cover has some light scratches...

    Working Back Into "Land" Mode...

    ...after an outstanding summer of digging gold and diamond rings at the beach with the Excal, it's time to get back into the land hunting thing with the Explorer II. I didn't have much time today so I went to a well-pounded spot that I've hit before and opted for a slow grid walk over an area...

    It's Our Wedding Anniversary Today...

    ...and you all know what she got...a mega-diamond ring, courtesy of the old Excal. But what could you possibly get for somebody that has an Excalibur, an Explorer II, and a CZ-70??? [attachment 37861 BadassRing.jpg] How about a cool T-shirt? This is my gift...heading out the door with it on...

    New Scoop Is Here And It's PERFECT

    There will be some new "heat" in the lane soon, as Max would say. I've been looking for a new scoop for a while. I have a nice basket scoop that's pretty strong that does well in the wet sand and water and drains very well, but it lacks size and it's tough digging the deep stuff, though I have...

    Here's Some More Of That Refinery Money, Re-invested Into Gold And Diamonds

    Here's another big chunk of the money from the load of bling I recently sent to Midwest Refinery. I paid off the rest of the ring that we had on layaway at the jeweler's to go with my "Find of the Summer" ring. My wife wanted to get a companion ring to go with it and make a new "wedding set"...

    Genuine Excalibur Sounds, Recorded From Various Items

    Also posted on Beach & Water forum... Several folks have asked me to repost the Excalibur sounds I had posted here a few months ago. The original post got a lot of hits and I think it got lost when the forum had that server problem. So here's a link to the WAV files wrapped up in a single ZIP...

    Thanks Finn55cats!

    I just pulled my new T-shirt out of the dryer and thought what a nice picture it would make. Ina got me this as a gift...in return for helping her with her computer. I think I have a new favorite shirt! Maybe it will bring me some luck out there. :shrug: Every pirate needs one of these...

    The Eagle Has Landed!

    OK, it's not the eagle...it's my new DiamondNite diamond tester. And it's a sweet piece of gear! It operates on a single 9-volt battery, included. Fire it up and the light says "Wait" and in a couple of seconds, "Ready". Touch it to the stone and it tests it in about a second and either...

    New Diamond Tester on the way...

    Bought the tester in the link below, except got it on eBay for $179 from a reputable source. That was part of the money from the refinery check. http://www.mineralab.com/DiamondNite.htm

    As Several Folks Here Said, Midwest Refineries Is A Class Act! :super:

    I'm posting this because several folks have PM'd me with questions and curiosity about the process. So anybody can see how it works. I just got my settlement package back from Midwest Refineries, one week from the day that I mailed the stuff off to them. They turned it around quickly as...

    Well, My "Find Of The Summer" $2400 Diamond Ring Turned Out To Not Be Worth $2400 After All...

    ...seems it's worth more like $4000! We had it in to a jeweler today for sizing. My wife has been wearing it on another finger but I'm now getting her a companion band to go with it, with 5 diamonds that match the 4 smaller diamonds that flank the half carat center stone on the found ring...

    Shipment To Refinery Heading Out Tomorrow

    I talked to Midwest today and am ready to ship tomorrow. I have a total of 56 rings, gold and silver, several charms, and a little bit of scrap chain. This is basically the junk that nobody wanted...friends or family. I'm keeping all the diamond rings, rings with stones, class rings, and...

    A Bunch Of Gold Booty...Opinions???

    What you see here is a pile of 14K stuff from my collection. Specifically, 10 rings, 2 charms, and a chain. These are basically the non-diamond 14K rings that neither friends nor family were particularly interested in. I've sold quite a few things in the last couple of years (almost $1000...

    I Predict...

    ...that surf church will bear fruit for some this morning. I won't be there. Darren and I hit it hard last night for the 11PM low and both of us got a pile of clad...lots of older stuff...no fresh drops. It was about as rough as I've seen it in a long time and the waves were slamming and...
