    Beware of the RED TIDE

    The Gulf coast of Florida is now under attack by the red tide. The Red Tide can cause all kinds of health problems from breathing problems, pneumonia and even death. If the Red tide is at the beach you are planning on detecting, I would highly recommend waiting till the Red Tide passes. I am not...

    Equinox counter weight

    I was reading some of the posts about adding a counter weight to the Equinox to allow for an easier swing of the coil...especially the 15 incher. I had already purchased from Steve's Detector Rods the carbon Fiber shafts for the Equinox....and they are a great for sure. I did not order the...

    Making the Minelab Equinox even more waterproof

    I recently watched a video on YouTube...... It seems that you can make the Equinox even more resistant to water incursion by putting some silicone caulking over a vent hole that has a piece of paper over it that is located on the handle mount. They also taped shut the speaker opening and put...

    I went Wireless on my F-75

    I did something I did with my White's V3i to my Fisher F-75....I added wireless headphones. Specifically Sennheiser RS160 digital wireless headphones. These worked so well with my V3i that I decided that the F-75 could also benefit from them. There is no lag because these have Kleer technology...

    Video and why the V3i is so good

    Check out this video......Youtube video It shows that multi frequency machines cannot detect chains. Well except for one that I know of....the V3i. I found some small gold and silver chains that I had laying around and did the exact same test....with chains only. The V3i detected the...

    RnB HP-3100 Lithium-ion 12v Battery

    Just recently ordered the RnB HP-3100 Lithium-ion 12v Battery. My Nicad from White's was not getting completely charged and so I needed a new battery pack. I have the AA battery pack and use 2500 mah Enloop rechargeables and they seem to work well. But they are heavy. And a pain to recharge...

    To chest mount or not?

    I've had lots of fun with the Excalibur metal detectors and have made some great finds. I've used the straight shafts from Plugger and have built my own. Plugger has some great products. His shaft locks are awesome! I really like the straight shaft as it is way better than the factory shaft...

    This forum topic is nice, but would it be possible......

    to list not only the find but also the machine that was used to find it and a guess at the depth? I know this has been mentioned previously and some are doing that already but it sure is nice to hear what others are using. Like, this is a photo of the box of 100 twenty dollar flying eagle...

    Where can I get the MALE Ikelite connector?

    I've been able to get the female Ikelite connector as it is part of the Alkaline battery pod. Now my problem is, where can I get the male connector that fits into it? I know the factory battery charger has it. Can I use the one that comes with that, rewire it and use it as a connector for...

    SEF coils no longer available

    The original SEF coils that were on E-bay and were about the only place they were available nowadays is no longer available from the manufacturer in the US. It is available everywhere else though. Also available through another dealer in the UK at inflated prices. Like $275 US. Seems that they...

    13 inch Detech Ultimate coil review

    I decided that I was going to try the Detech 13 inch Ultimate coil on my Excalibur II 1000, actually an Excalibur II 1500 as I was using the WOT coil on it. I kept reading all the different comments on how well or not how well it works on other detectors. I have had this coil now for two days...

    12x10 SEF

    I've been trying to get a 12 x10 SEF coil and it has been an exercise in futility! I'm using a modified Minelab Excalibur with straight shaft, Mel Parker / OBN remote switch and the 1600mah battery. I have used in the past the WOT coil on it but I was not happy with the waters edge...

    Can a coil go bad?

    I've been a Minelab Excalibur user for many years. I've modified all 4 of mine that I have had and have never have had a problem till now. I've run the WOT coil on my most recent Excalibur II now since it was new. It has the remote switch, 1600 MAH battery and straight shaft. But I was having...

    PI threshold slope tone

    I've been hunting the beaches of the Gulf coast lately and have been using my new White's Dual field. I've found one gold / platinum ring and so it has paid for itself already. I have noticed that while in the water, the threshold gets louder as I go deeper in the water. It is especially loud...

    Batteries for White's Dual Field

    Not sure where to post this so I will be posting on this plus the White's User forum on this site and on the PI technology forum. There has been a few postings about batteries for the White's Dual Field PI. I do not want to use Lithium Ion batteries as they are explosive around water. I hate...

    Nickle Zinc batteries for Surf Dual Field PI

    There has been a few postings about batteries for the White's Dual Field PI. I do not want to use Lithium Ion batteries as they are explosive around water. I hate buying disposable batteries. Plus I like the idea of more capacity for longer sessions without having to recharge or replace...
