    Hello Again!

    Haven't been detecting for a year or so now. Changed passions for a bit with RC model airplanes. Now that the weather is reasonable, I'll be back into the water doing some hunting. I now have, for water machines, a CZ-21 and a White's Dual Field. There is a Tesoro Tiger Shark that's in the...

    Ring Found and Returned

    The man in the picture called me at home, he was in Pacific Beach, Washington, at a resort 150 miles from me, and had seen his platinum ring fall off his hand into the sand on the beach. Wet sand! He dug around for awhile with his friends on hands and knees and nothing. The incoming pushed...

    OK You TS Users...

    I don't like to hunt with much discrimination but I am hunting areas that are full of deteriorating nails. It's freshwater. I started out with the discrimination set on one and still dug the nails. Then I moved it up number by number until I got to 4. I think it was starting to ignore them and...

    CZ-21 Vs. Tiger Shark - Air testing & Bench Testing

    The new CZ-21 arrived last night. I put it together and went out into the shop to do some air testing. I had a bunch of gold rings I have found in the past, some new and some old coinage, a 25" gold chain, and a pull-tab. I like the different tones the CZ gives to give you a hint what's under...

    CZ-21. Just way to many folks having real issues with malfunctioning Excal units and a massive back log of people waiting to get a repaired machine returned. In all fairness, folks said First Texas experienced similar issues right after their reorganization and all. After weighing all the...

    Switching Back & Trying Excal Again...Suggestions?

    After a really bad experience with my 1st Excal, I sold a couple of my underwater machines and am going to add a few dollars and get a new Excal II. I wade more than I dive, but I do also need to use it for diving. My other detectors for the water are a Tiger Shark and a White's Dual Field...

    My Post on Another Section of the Forum

    Here's some references to learn more about batteries and battery chargers. Seems there are always lots of questions asked about the batteries and how to charge them. jim http://www.findmall.com/list.php?26

    Batteries...Good Information to Know!

    Me and My Gear...Fresh Water Only.

    I post here often so thought maybe somebody would like to place the face and the equipment together. I need to find about 10 Rolexes to pay for all these toys. jim

    Tesoro Water Machines and Coils

    Talked with the nice folks at Tesoro this morning and they are 'fine tuning' the machine they acquired to make their own waterproof cable connectors. Once that's 'tuned' we will again see the Tiger Shark and some of the optional coils one can get for it. Patience! Patience! jim

    Test Failed

    This is one small little area that I use for testing both new equipment and improving my listening skills. I was in the water five minutes and the shaft to the scoop failed. I think I took about 3 stabs at the bottom before the handle let go. Nothing wrong with the scoop itself. In fact, I...

    E-Trac and the 10 X12 SEF

    I got the SEF last week from Kellyco and have used it a couple of times now. In the last two outings I have found 3 wheat pennies and that's good for me and the area I hunt. I was primarily frustrated with the Pro Coil and digging the 'iffys' only to discover a ghost hole. Reading and...

    My Mods to My Tiger Shark...

    I always dive fresh water so the TS is my primary choice of detector. I am hogish. I own two of them. One is set up to work as a hip mount with a straight shaft when I wade while hunting. I didn't want to hang something else on me when diving so I rejected the hip mount set up for that. I...

    Helped Law Enforcement Yesterday...

    A local agency needed to search for metallic evidence and asked for my help. I took two land detectors and one water machine as there maybe was going to be some swamp areas to hit. Didn't need to go there. It would not have been pretty. You all take note and prepare yourself if you...

    Minelab PI with Discriminate

    Lots of BSing in the other forums about this. However, one person did locate a patent. I'd be interested in what you PI experts think. http://v3.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&adjacent=true&locale=fr_EP&FT=D&date=20091230&CC=WO&NR=2009155648A1&KC=A1 There's the url. If it...

    Really Prompt Service...

    On Wednesday I ordered a long handled shovel from Predator tools. It just arrived via US mail. That's less than four days. What a fantastic company. Maybe some of the Big Boys could learn from this kind of service...Jim

    Need some guidance on the E-Trac...

    Others have said I could use guidance in other areas but I know they are wrong!!:wink: This has to do with marginal signals. I did find one silver and one wheatie recently. I was searching slowly and really trying to listen carefully to the intermittent tones I was getting as well as all the...

    E-Trac +Ratphones = Silver

    I went to the old school that is close that I have pounded really hard. I say pounded and that doesn't necessarily mean 'well'. Second time out with the Rats and they are fine. Totally different sound than the Grey Ghosts and the Killer Bees I have. Probably because they are 20-20,000 hz and...
