    CTX and Excal questions

    Asked these questions yesterday on the 'beach, water, dive forum' but no replies with 103 views. Any experiences with either or both detectors would really help. Thanks Another hunter here deciding between the CTX & Excal. I've read many of the pros and cons on both. Understand that the type...

    CTX & Excal questions

    Another hunter here deciding between the CTX & Excal. I've read many of the pros and cons on both. Understand that the type of saltwater beach/water hunting I'll be doing is probably the biggest consideration since the CTX wasn't designed as an underwater detector. A few of questions I haven't...

    Need opinions on G2 & GB Pro DP Egronomics

    I'm going to purchase a G2 or GB Pro but was leaning towards the G2 because it has the pistol grip handle (which is similar to a couple of T-handle grips I've used), that was until I read a few forum comments about the G2. One person said he decided on the GB Pro because he said the pistol grip...

    Excal speed question

    My brother inlaw and I are considering buying Excals for wet sanding and water hunting. I've only used two water detectors for 7-10 years (both with very fast recovery), a CZ-20 (always in all metal) and an Aquasound (with modified Nautilus board), and also use an Explorer II for land. My...

    Replacement metal arm cuff

    My ML arm cuff snapped today and I'm looking to purchase an aftermarket aluminum arm cuff. Several people make them and the prices vary quite a bit. Any feedback from those who have purchased one would be appreciated.

    Last Friday's hunt with some buds

    Last Friday I hunted with a group of guys from the club at the same park where I found a seated dime at last Wednesday. I was fortunate enough to find a 1903 V nickel, no date buffalo, 1913D, 1917, 1918, 1919 wheats, 1920-30s era dog tag, and a brass lock which was about 8

    First seated dime and CC coin

    I asked several questions this morning in one post on the Explorer classroom forum regarding how others deal with sites that have a lot of iron. I've been using an Explorer II for 2+ months and have found a barber dime, merc, IHs and 'v' nickels that I missed with other detectors at an old park...

    What's your % of success in areas with nails/iron and what do you attribute to your success?

    I've been using an Ex II (my first) for 2 months + and have made some good finds with it at a 120 year old park that I've hunted since last winter with several other detectors. The park is loaded with nails of all sizes along with some deep large ferrous and non ferrous items. The main problem...

    Need help deciphering symbol

    Found this yesterday along with a couple of older wheats at a 100+ year old park around Birmingham, Al. I tried Googling CCI but nothing so far. I'm not sure what it is or was used for. Maybe some type of mini-marker but why the wavy shaft? The back has the same symbol. Probably made of lead...

    Question about ground mineralization

    I'm fairly new to the Birmingham, Al area which is known for the high iron/mineralization of the ground. I normally run the CZ3D's GB at the 4.5-5 level and sens at 4 in Enhanced mode in the places I've detected here. Same for a CZ70 pro. Question is: Since the GB is generally set to the...

    Repairing CZ coil?

    I need some help repairing a broken coil wire. The break is just below or inside the box connector. (Keep getting a bell tone). The detector isn't under warranty. Can the connector be removed from the wire without any special tools? If anyone has attempted this with success I would appreciate...

    Goldbug 2 -6.5" vs 10" coil?

    I'm trying to figure out if I really need the 10" coil. I know it will cover 50%+ per sweep but from the air tests on one of the dealer's web site the 6.5 is deeper on nuggets up to 1 dwt. I'll be hunting mostly around NE GA or NC where most if any nuggets would probably in the fractional grain...

    Weekend finds

    I'm fairly new to this forum. Detected a 1940-50's house site south of B'ham. This was my second chinese coin. The other round is an Alabama sales tax token. The ring is sterling. Found the unknown object with s & c last week in eastern AL and would like to id it. I posted it on the relic forum...

    Need ID help

    Found these few items yesterday in eastern AL near an old house. I'm new to relic hunting in this area (formerly from FL). I'm mainly interested in IDing the round brass or bronze item. It's 7.5 grams, 15/16" dia.. It looks like the lettering is an 'S' over a 'C' with some kind of mark in the...

    ID Edge finds

    Found the bracelet in the ocean this afternoon with the Orca then hopped off I-95 to hunt an old park that's produced some silver. I lowered the SENS to 1 on the Edge and hunted along a chain link fence in the 'Old Coin' mode. The 61' Republica de Panama UN CENTESIMO read solid +22 and was 18"...

    Question about older 10.5 CZ coil

    Would the older white cz coil with the oval receive (middle) coil work on a CZ3D? The coil looks like the 10.5 coil used on a cz20 but it's white. HH

    CZ3D question

    We are moving to an area around B'ham, AL. Heard the ground is pretty tuff on detectors because of the iron content. I'm thinking about purchasing a CZ3D and would like to get some input on how it would do there? I have an MXT and doubt it will be able to handle the ground. I know a Minelab Sov...
