    Thought some of you would like to see the final results of a find I found that was dropped 102 years ago in a lake. This is a Mark 1 practice bomb dropped from a Curtis Jenny bi-plane circa 1917. I have recovered 8 of them with the 9th one marked on my GPS but it is buried deep in the clay in...

    Information on a Secret Project!

    Tested the prototype of a secret project yesterday. This monster has a 620lb magnet inside and we tested it on one of the beaches I hunt. Pulled up nails, bottle tops, and a few other pieces of junk. The scuba tank raises it to the surface after it is hovered and pushed along the bottom...

    Very Rare and Expensive Find Today

    I went to go out on my boat today to detect a spot in lake St. Clair 14 miles out. While putting my gear on the dock a super rare piece of my equipment rolled off and drowned in 8' of water. So I had to gear up and go fetch it. You are looking at a success story of me finding the middle and...

    Hesitant to Post This, But, Anyone with the Same Issue?

    I have mentioned that the volume is too low on the machine for me to hear very well diving. I still do it though because of the target separation and the finds it has been making for me in the Detroit River. I always keep the waterproof headphones plugged in. Yesterday I unplugged them to let...

    Just $1.01 Today. Still Fun

    Another day in the water at one of my favorite old spots. Used the Equinox this time. Boy, I dislike how quiet it is with headphones. Getting used to it a little but it really is a pain. I will say one thing. I need 6 - 8" of gravel and muck to just dissapear here. I know there are very...

    Yesterdays and Todays Dives with the Equinox 800

    I have told folks OVER and OVER to move slow and dig carefully and you don't need gloves. I haven't been cut in years. Well today I could have used my own advice! I used to have a lot of the bottom unburied in this spot. I could see my landmarks. With all the new muck and weeds that wasn't the...

    First Dive with the Equinox Today

    So far the Equinox has been a GREAT machine. Today I had a problem and am waiting to see solutions. I took my toy for its first dive today. I dive in one spot loaded with history. This was a public beach from 1909 - 1963. No clad is found here and very little trash. Here is my setup...

    First Water Hunt with the Equinox 800

    Out in the water today with my Nox 800 and Tony Eisenhower headphones. Everything worked great. I just waded although I did go under a few times to pick up what I thought was a boat anchor. When I finally got a hold of it I brought up a very old snow shovel. Water was tolerable which was a...

    My New Gold Slayer, Equinox 800

    Got my new toy ready for diving this summer. (If it ever comes!) I have already made sure having the coil so close to the unit doesn't interfere much if any. I had to turn the sensitivity down to 20 from 22 close to my house. Maybe not in the water. I have two places this setup should...

    My Take on the Equinox 800

    I consider myself a pretty good detectorist although most my experience as of the year 2000 has been underwater. I started out in the middle 1990's with a Whites Eagle SL2. A great machine and I still own one. I then went to the Whites Spectrum and the Whites DFX. I brought the Spectrum to...

    My 2017 Finds

    Greetings from the frozen north. Thought I would share my finds from last summer on here. The quantity was dismal but the quality was great. My best and most shocking find was the mariners anchor and chain. A whopping 59.72 grams of 14K. It was a huge shock to find that in a lake. The...

    Early Sneak Preview

    Greetings again all. I lurk on here and read, sometimes comment but I have been pretty busy playing in the water at a virgin underwater park. It is virgin only to a diver. Waders have pounded this park to death and most won't hunt there anymore. This is where I come into the picture. I hunt...

    Another Machine Gun Magazine

    Started off the year with a small 14K signet ring. Last week I was in lake St. Clair wading and got another overload signal. I love those things although most are cans. I couldn't see the bottom but scooped up my second Lewis machine gun Mag. This one has 26 unfired bullets in it. My last...

    The Bad Parrot

    A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing...

    Pardon my Ignorance

    A Walk in the Park with Lady Liberty

    Well folks, I decided to take a picture of it dirty because it is very unbelievable to me. I just dug my 8th walker for the year. If my friend Kevin wasn't with me he wouldn't have believed it either. So I took a picture dirty and one cleaned. That makes 5 out of the water (3 in one day)...
