    Back from OBX yesterday............ this was the trip from hell !!!

    Felix, I gave it my best shot believe me. A couple of days I was the only knucklehead out on the sand as far as anyone could see !! 30 mph winds seem to discourage people from the sand, ( not sure why tho ) ?? One stretch for around 45 minutes I didn't hear a single peep, not even iron ! I...

    Back from OBX yesterday............ this was the trip from hell !!!

    The sound is excellent and the wind blocking earcups is also great... way better than the JUNK bilsons that come with the cz20/21. 30 mph wind had no effect on the T E headset

    Back from OBX yesterday............ this was the trip from hell !!!

    Boss, there is nothing worth showing.. 16 cents is 16 cents.. ship spike is the same thing shown a million times on oak island... the copper coin may or may not be anything worthwhile..

    Deep Old Quarter / 6 Inch Toy Truck / Fob & Tokens

    Yikes.. finding a 16 merc would send me into a-fib the anticipation of the flip and hoping to find the elusive D would be the end ( for me at least ). Great job on all the silvers you dug..

    How many Cortes users here?

    I had one some yrs back.. Initially I thought it would turn out to be a pretty good detector, was pulling coins from the ground 6-7 deep until one outing with a buddy who was using an original explorer.. As we were hunting, he said to me i got a silver dime right here about 3-4 deep. I scanned...
