    maybe taking a trip out to Arizona in the spring

    and thought I would take a metal detector with me and do a little swinging while I'm there. But I have never been out west much less Arizona and not sure where to go. We will probably be staying around the Sedona area. Anyone with info would be helpful. mike

    Its sucks getting old....................................................

    I recently purchased a Fisher F19 to finally get out after several months recovering from open heart surgery. I thought, I will need a much lighter detector to swing for a while than my old machine the Fisher C$, which is my favorite detector. Well, got the F19, put it together, reviewed the...

    Minelab Go Find 66

    Anyone has or tried out a Go Find 66? I'm curious as to what users think about them. I recently had open heart surgery and need a lite detector to travel with and since this seems to be a lite unit at 2.2 pounds and collapses quite flat to fit in suitcase, I figure it maybe an option. I was...

    Nokta/Makro Simplex

    Don't know if anyone can answer this question, but it states in the Simplex description that is has a lipo battery. I'm curious if the lipo battery can be easily removed from the detector for transport purposes especially on airplanes since lipo batteries can only travel by ground from what I...

    Just finished this 1954 Chris Craft Commander R/C boat

    This was a different project for me, I usually build wooden tall ship models. But I wanted to try something a little different just as a change of pace. I have built numerous radio control planes before, but this was the first boat. It has 2 850 brushed motors that I had to order from England...

    Makro Kruzer in the water

    Has anyone tried their Kruzer in the water yet, if so, how well did it do. Is it weighted enough to where it wasn't floaty. One of the issues I had with the AT Pro was that it was kind of hard to keep it under the water and when swinging it, you had to put quite a bit of effort to keep the coil...

    Has anyone done a comparison of the Kruzer vs AT pro

    Curious what the differences of the two machines are? I owned the Garrett AT pro and hated it. The machine it's self was ok, but the headphone and coil connectors were a real pain to get off and on. To me, I would love to find a universal machine for both and hunting and water hunting, which I...

    I have read where some don't want to get their AT pro's wet or how they work in salt water.............

    If you don't want to get your AT pro wet, WHY DID YOU BUY AN ALL TERRAIN DETECTOR? I have used my AT pro on salt water beaches and it works great, I have had it in water up to my neck in salt water and as long as you ground balance it in the water, it works fine. But, it also depends on how...

    Makro Racer, is this machine manufactured in Turkey

    or where? I have had a couple of trade offers for Racers, for my AT Pro, but wondered what owners of Makro Racers did if they had a mechanical issue and where do they send them in for tuning or repair, if they aren't made in the USA? Thanks, mike

    Finally finshed the Library donation ship model after

    almost two years and close to 3000 hours of work. The HMS Victory is finally ready to set sail to her new home on her maiden voyage. I hope to make delivery within the next two weeks. I also included a piece of the wood that I received from England that came from the real Victory ship that I put...

    Metal Detcting St. Thomas USVI (specifically Magens Bay)

    I just got back from my vacation and visiting family on St. Thomas. There has been discussion on the forums in the past about metal detecting in the US Virgin Islands. Here is the skinny: St. John is totally off limits for any type of metal detecting as well as water machines, if caught, you go...

    Got my new AT Pro today and first impressions

    Nice machine so far and I like the different tones, but connecting both the coil cable and headphone cables were one big pain in the @$$. It took me 30 minutes just trying to get the pins lined up and the "O" rings seated to where the connector would screw on. They really should have refigured...

    I've been scarce on the forums for the past few years.............

    But with health issues and my other hobby, metal detecting has kind of taken a back seat for a while. I have a few things on my bucket list that I wanted to get out of the way while I still good enough to do them, one of which was to build a large ship model for my local library so folks could...

    GT Pro, can you get the control box wet while hunting

    in the water? I assume you can wade up to your shoulders as long as you don't get the land use headphones wet, am I correct on this or not? mike
