    Santa brought me some Detecting Goodies

    This Christmas, I did something I’ve never done before, at least as long as I can remember. My wife always tells me around Christmas time that I’m the hardest person to shop for, because I never ask for anything. I’m sure many of you know how that goes. Yeah, I have things that I want, but I...

    My 2 post nor’easter hunts; Franken DuFi PI finds his first ring

    Last week, I booked a 3-night stay down in DE, so I could spend a couple days detecting after the nor’easter. I decided to take my Minelab Sovereign Elite w/12x10 SEF coil, as it has auto iron reject and all-tones, and my “new to me” White’s Dual Field PI “Franken DuFi”, which was previously...

    For those about to Rock…a nor’easter!

    For those of you on the East Coast planning to rock the beach after the coming nor’easter, I’d like to get your opinions. I was fortunate to book a 3-night stay at the beach just after the nor’easter, so I’ll have 2 days to hunt. I’ll be taking my Dual Field PI and my BBS SMF Sovereign Elite...

    Seems there’s no stopping Silver & Gold!

    Hang on to your Silver & Gold rings & bling guys & gals, prices have been rising steadily almost every day. Silver is currently at $49.42/oz. It passed $49/oz briefly on Monday, and as usual, the price has been doing the up & down dance for the last 2 days. After dropping a dollar or so...

    New Minelab Monster Coming?

    Was just checking my emails and noticed one from Minelab. Clicked to open and there was this pic inside. I clicked the pic and it led to a video short. The Monster is Coming Minelab has the Gold Monster 1000, which is a 45 kHz VLF, so not sure if this new Monster is gonna be VLF or PI. Would...

    Another one bites the dust, RIP MD-Hunter Blog

    Damn, I was just on MD-Hunter Blog last night. Went back on just now, refreshed to see if there were any new stories and saw this. With all the increased competition we all seem to be facing, at least on the beaches, it’s a wonder we’re losing these types of detecting sites. There seems to be...

    I Think This Might Be The #1 Reason We Have So Much Competition Today

    I've been giving more thought about the increased competition we face today, and I can't believe I either forgot or didn't think of this earlier. Countless posts have discussed this before, and I’ve jumped in as well mentioning things like the increasing prices of gold & silver, more detector...

    Gigmaster hunts the water with our own OBN aka Old Beechnut aka Joe Beechnut

    Just watched a Gigmaster video posted 3 days ago titled “Beach Update, Xtreme Scoop and More!” Gigmaster (Steve) & John Boy headed north from VA up to MD to hunt the water with OBN. I heard it was a 4-hour drive for them, each way. To watch Steve discuss the hunt, forward the video to 4:55...

    Hitting Beaches in DE as Hurricane Erin approaches

    I was down at the beaches in DE on Sunday night & Monday. Wife and I planned this short trip before Hurricane Erin became a thing, so that I could try out “Franken DuFi”, my “new to me” Dual Field PI, which is also my first PI after swinging BBS/SMF, VLF, TR & a BFO for the last 56 years. Sunday...

    Made my own Coil “Cover” for the Dual Field’s 12” Spider Coil

    Just put the last finishing touch on my Dual Field's coil before heading to the beach. Trying to find a coil cover for the Dual Field’s 12” Spider Coil has become Mission Impossible. They’re rare and hard to find, and I just didn’t have the time to wait and hope I’d stumble upon one for sale...

    My “new” Dual Field PI & hanging out with OldBeechnut (OBN)

    Well, it’s taken me 56 years, but after swinging VLF’s and starting as a kid with a BFO & TR, I finally took the plunge into PI’s by adding a “new to me” White’s Dual Field PI to my beach hunting arsenal. I’m an ole’ turn the knobs, beep & dig kinda guy, so I like great detectors with simple...

    White’s Surfmaster PI, PI Pro, & Dual Field manuals

    Well, after 56 years of swinging VLF’s, and a TR & BFO long ago, I finally took my first foray into getting a PI to augment my Sovereign Elite and new X-Terra Elite. Thanks to Mikeguard1 & OBN, I was able to pick up an OBN modded Surfmaster DF, my first PI. My digging arm already hates my Sov’s...

    New Nokta PI

    New Nokta PI I’ve seen a bunch of posts/comments on several Beach/Shallow Water sub forums, which is where I primarily hang out. Lots of talk/discussion about a new PI that Nokta is supposed to be coming out with. Some of the posts go back a few years. I stumbled upon this info earlier this...

    Anyone have this PI or knows someone who has one or has used?

    Greetings fellow beach hunters, I’ve never been a PI guy. Every detector I’ve owned since the late 60’s has been a VLF, except my first detector was a BFO. I’ve looked at PI’s over the years, mainly out of curiosity, but that was years ago. I commented on a post a week or so ago that now at 68...

    Some of my beach finds from back in the day

    I see a lot of guys posting pics of their finds and realized I never posted any, well, except for that scientific fish detection thing I found that belonged to the University of Delaware, which I returned. I know I had pics on the hard drive of my old PC that I’m about to replace. I’ll be...

    What’s the Craziest Weather or Situation you’ve ever been in while Detecting?

    This questions for us diehard (and possibly crazy) detectorists; the ones who go out detecting no matter what. What’s the Craziest Weather or Situation you’ve ever been in while Detecting? For me, it was detecting on a beach in Ocean City as a hurricane was passing by off the coast. Back then...

    X-Terra Elite coils vs NOX coils

    I recently picked up an X-Terra Elite to augment my Sovereign Elite on the beaches, and I plan on using the X-Terra Elite for coinshooting on land, due to the TID and depth indicators on the screen. I know I can use NOX coils on my X-Terra Elite, but I don’t think the NOX can use the X-Terra...
