Based on some feedback I received on one of my posts, I have a couple concerns that I was hoping to get some straight forward answers on.

    Suggestions For Transporting E-Trac On A Bicycle

    I have several hunting spots that I cannot access by car and with my medical issues, impossible for me to get to by foot. I really want to hunt them and I'm thinking about riding my bicycle to them. My concern is that the rough conditions will toss my E-Trac around and damage it. I have rear...

    Finds from a short weekend hunt

    Got a chance to hunt a small area in Leesburg where a couple of old houses had been torn down. Was planning on hunting it for several hours, but got a call from my son asking me if I wanted to play some golf. Nothing earth shattering, but I did manage to find an 1883 Indian Head, 1944 Wheat...

    Headphones for Excal II

    Hi Everyone. I just got a new Excal II and was wondering if it's worth replacing the stock headphones with aftermarket ones. Is there much difference between the stock phones vs. aftermarket (like the Gray Ghost for example)? My hearing is not the best and if there is a noticeable difference...

    Excal II setup

    I'm getting a new Excal II with the 10" coil and was hoping I could get some feedback from you Excal users as to what is the best setup for dry/wet sand and shallow surf (up to chest deep) hunting. I've heard/read that the stock setup is not the most comfortable setup and a lot of folks either...

    Old Railroad Stop

    Well, I got a chance to go back to the old railroad stop near my home for a couple hours today and found lots of clad, 3 wheats (1929, 1944, 1946) and 2 mercs (1929, 1934). Clad totals were 27 pennies, 5 dimes, and 2 quarters. Not a lot of older coins, but I was very excited to found the mercs...
