    Comments regarding "Waterproof" to 10 feet

    Based on a 3m/10foot rating, I don't think this detector is really designed for serious submersion but more for the rainy conditions or the odd dunk in the water. It would be a brave/foolish person to use it regularly in the surf ?? I can't see it replacing the Excalibur even as a shallow...

    FS Goldquest SS

    Well after much umming and ahhing, I have decided to sell my beloved Goldquest SS.....:sadwalk: For those in the know, this machine is very hard to come by. It is arguably the most sensitive gold detector for beach hunting. If you are after those small diamond rings that other machines are...

    Propointer (problem)

    My new Propointer will often keep slowly chirping after I have removed the metal target from it. This was in some air tests that I was doing. I could only reset the unit by switching off and on. Is there a problem with my unit. It functions really well but his problem comes and goes but an...

    WTB: Tesoro Bandido II uMax or Eldorado uMax (Needs to be in really good condition)

    If you have either of these detectors to sell (and happy to ship to Australia) then I will pay top dollar depending on condition. I will also pay you by any means that suits you best and will of course pay for shipping costs. Thanks for any offers, Tony

    Fix your floating coil problem forever

    I have been reading about the floating coil problems for some of the White's UW detectors. This can be solved by using a rubber discus as a weight. They come in different sizes and weights and are perfectly streamlined (designed to fly through the air) for in water use. Holes or slots can be...

    Garrett 9" x 14" mono coil...advice please

    Can anyone advise me how this large coil handles in CALM water. I have tried the WOT coil and found the resistance too much as I water hunt for 8 hours at a time. I guess the WOT coil has 3 leading edges so the water has to overcome this. The Garrett 9 x 14 would appear to be more streamlined...

    Why big coils and I are going our separate ways

    What a difference 5" makes !! I have been a Sovereign user for many years now and have now tried 3 large coils on my GT. Big coils are severely hampered by EMI. So far, the SEF, WOT have failed in the EMI area. This is on beaches many miles apart and on many different times. I am unable to...

    Excalibur blue headphones wiring

    I'm trying to solder up a pair of Excalibur blue headphones to a regular stereo 1/4" jack. There are 2 main wires and 2 smaller wires. I'm assuming that the 2 main wires go to the 2 main tabs on the stereo jack (L and R channels). I'm also assuming that one of the two smaller wires is a...

    Tiger Shark ground balance range

    Can anyone (Tiger Shark users) offer me some advice on how effective the ground balance range is on the TS. I live in Western Australia and want to hunt freshwater lakes BUT the lake floors are highly mineralised with iron based clay? My concern was that the TS may not be able to balance out...

    Fisher CZ-21 operation manual ?

    Can anyone provide a link to the user manual for the CZ-21? Does this unit have manual ground balance that could cope with quite heavily mineralised soil? Thanks, Tony.

    Does anyone know the difference between the Infinium Aussie v USA models?

    I plan to hunt some freshwater lakes which have a heavy mineralised clay bottom. I am located in Western Australia so you all know that this ground can be bad. I think the Infinium is the only waterproof detector that will work these conditions. I have tried an Excalibur but it nulls (sees...

    Simple meter mount

    Because I hipmount my Sov GT and therefore need as much cable length as possible, I decided to mount the old style meter right next to the arm cuff. I just wrapped some velcro around the cuff and meter. This meter is calibrated for Aussie coins. It is just so easy to read the meter and the...

    ...it has rendered my steel hand scoop obsolete as it is now in detecting range with the Amplifier on....:biggrin: This is a problem that I'm very happy with.....plastic hand scoop on order. This Amp puts out some serious power. I managed to hunt with the Sov GT with SENS @ 9 o'clock (just...
