    Sovereign for beach.

    Hi, I have an Excalibur II which I use at/in salt water beaches. Probably 80% of the time it's in the wet sand, but I do go in the water occasionally. Was talking with a Sovereign user at one of the beaches, and I did like the idea of using/swapping different coils. My understanding is that the...

    Happy Ending

    I don't really consider this as a good deed, because I'm certain every person reading this would have done the same. I have an AT Pro I use everywhere but the salt water beaches. I use an Excal at the beaches, and 95% of my hunting is at the beaches (not for any reason othere than I love being...

    Headphone ear pads

    Hi all, I did try the search feature, but probably wasn't wording it correctly. I went to the beach last Saturday and discovered that somehow one of the ear pads (not sure of correct title) had gotten pulled off and was gone. Searched car/home/beach, could not find it. I absolutely am interested...

    Detector storage

    Just picked up a used Whites Dual Field this morning. Now I have 5 detectors. Right now they are standing up on my basement floor, leaning against the wall. Sooner or later, Walks like Buffalo (my Son), is gonna step on one of the coils and crack it. I have seen pictures of detectors, hanging...

    Excalibur chest mount

    Hi, this is my first summer with an Excalibur, and it's also my first summer ever finding gold and silver at the beach (I'm pretty sure the two are related). I bought the hip mount kit from Minelab, and it works pretty good, but I'm wondering about an after market hip mount I've seen with a two...

    Finally

    Bought my Excal in January, and for the last 6 weeks have been giving it a go, mostly at Hampton Beach in NH. Threshold-small whine, volume pretty loud cause I'm pretty deaf, disc-1, sens-auto-most of the time, have had conflicting advice on auto/man sens at highest livable level. Been digging...

    Wireless headphones

    Please excuse me if this has been covered before, just trying to get it in, and get back to the Bruins game. A friend, who doesn't use a Garretts, has installed TDK WR7000 wireless headphones on his detector, and loves them. Anyone know if they, or similar ones would work on the Pro? Artie

    First gold ring

    Not sure if this is the proper thread to put this, but I found my first gold ring today. I bought my AT Pro in January and have only used it 4 times ( I split detecting with an Excall at the beach) found it at one of the towns fields, where I live. I'm gonna try to post a picture. It is not a...

    Hope to be breaking in At Pro soon

    Hi everyone, I had posted late last year about hoping to be able to get an At pro for the new season, and got lots of supporting replies. Just wanted to let everyone ( or at least any that care LOL) that I got the new unit, and after 6 weeks of health issues in the family am able to turn my...

    Books

    Hi everyone, as I sit here, waiting out our blizzard of 13, it dawns on me I could be reading up on the AT Pro, if there are books out there on it. I have watched a lot of the videos from Garretts, and feel I will be more ahead when I use this machine then on any other detector I have owned. But...

    AT Pro, Shaft question

    I posted a while back about how one way or another I was gonna have me an AT Pro by spring. Mission accomplished, while waiting for spring, I'm trying to get the unit set up for me. Apparently I'm a too short guy, with arms too long. With the shortest possible setup It's about an inch or so too...

    Excalibur questions

    Hi, I got my Excal II on Friday, took it out Sat and Sun. I loved it, am a believer in learning by doing, but reading and video can be educational. So first question to anyone who feels like answering, what books/dvds ect do you recommend for a quicker level of learning? second question, but...

    AT Pro question

    Hi All, I own two detectors, both 22-24 years old, after reading, listening, talking, going back and forth, I've decided that the AT Pro is the best selection out there for my needs ( wants). My question is, anybody get any good ideas on how to get the Missus to get me one for Christmas? Ok...

    Eagle Spectrum

    Hi to all, I have recently dusted off my Spectrum and started using it again. I bought it new, but a fishing boat got between us, for some time. I have never got past the factory programs, and recently reread the manual again. I must confess, I still only understand half of what the manual is...

    Long handled beach scoops

    Hi, looking for opinions on long handled beach scoops. I'm gonna need one by labor day, and wanted to start doing the research. I'm looking for opinions on best, and best value. I do not dive, this is wading only, fresh and salt. In advance thank you for all input. Artie

    Surf detector

    Hi, I am thinking, ( long range) of getting a saltwater/wet sand surf detector. I will not be diving, wading only. Thoughts on the AT PRO vs Infineon vs Surfhunter, I would have no doubts the Infineon is the best of the three, but will it be significantly better for what I'm gonna use it for?

    detector for saltwater/wet sand

    Hi everyone, I'm getting back to metal detecting after a 20 year break that, involved a boat, striped bass, and getting married. I have dusted off my Whites Eagle Spectrum, and Fisher 1280-X Aquanaut. Been reading lots of stuff on working the beaches, and from what I'm seeing, the Fisher may not...
