    I think I got lucky, today, but not sure. I need help!!

    I Hit a soccer field, today/Friday. Set my 900 on Park 2 in hopes of finding some jewelry. I've dug plenty of clad out of the field, but never any jewelry. I knew, though, that there had to be some. I could smell it! I was swinging along and received a nice, smooth (if I remember correctly) 10...

    Having a problem with Equinox 900.

    I'm having a problem with my new Equinox purchase, and I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me with it. The detector won't detect a quarter at more than 1-2 inches, and that's with the detector set at factory default settings. Any thoughts? I just received the detector yesterday, and...

    Mojave finds me some silver.

    Hunted an new-to-me site today. Ground was too dry to hunt for any amount of time. Decided to crank up the disc., and do a quick cherry picking to get a feel for the new site. Hunted about fifteen minutes, and the Mojave did not disappoint. Pictured are three of the four good signals that I got...

    Excalibur Down!! Need advice regarding the pot shaft o-rings.

    Today, I decided to do a little preventative maintenance on my Excalibur II by changing out the upper, pot shaft o-rings. I removed the old o-rings, and after comparing them to to the new o-rings, I noticed that they are a little fatter than the replacement o-rings, purchased awhile back, on...

    I've read a lot of horror stories, here, that pertain to the ATX stem-nuts ...

    ... getting jammed up with silt and sand. So, one of the first things that I plan to do, when I receive my ATX, is to drill a small, 1/8"-1/4" hole into the lower stem, just above the iso-rod. I may even go as far as to drill a hole just above each stem-nut. The holes give the water that gets...

    New Land Ranger Pro arriving today.

    Got a great deal on a Land Ranger Pro package, on eBay. Haven't held a Bounty Hunter since I had my VLF-TR 840, back in the '80's. It was my first metal detector. HH - Daddy

    Question pertaining to Sovereign coil to control box connector.

    Is it possible to remove the pins w-wires attached from the male connector on the coil cable? Is there a tool available to remove them with? Thanks - Bill

    Does anyone here use the Raptor Pull Handle ...

    Coil structure question.

    I've got a question that pertains to the 800/1000 coils. First, I'll mention that I have noticed that some lower rods measure 3/4" across at the coil end (the part that is inserted between the ears of the coil) while others measure 7/8". I've noticed that it doesn't take long for the rod end...

    Decent/better deal on teardrop washers ....

    for our beloved Sovereigns and Excaliburs, on eBay, right now. Found them by searching with the term "Sovereign GT". Sale is out of Australia. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181819830762?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Just thought that some of you might be interested. - Daddy

    There was this horror movie that I saw ......

    .... back in the seventies, on Creature Features. It started off showing a couple, metal detecting. One of them found a Conquistador's helmet and maybe a breastplate? If I remember correctly, they left the relics and their detectors lying on the ground to go off and do who knows what. :bouncy...

    Anyone ever use a Bounty Hunter Automatic 8400?

    I'm wondering how it performed. My first machine was an 840 and I remember it as being pretty but with not so great performance. Reason for asking is because someone local is selling one, in like new condition. Thanks - Daddy

    Anyone near Chiefland, Fl. looking for someone to hunt with on occasion?

    I'd like to find someone in my area to hunt with on occasion. I don't mind hunting by myself but it would be less boring and safer if I had a partner to hunt with, especially when hunting the water at night. I should warn you though that I am not one that hunts for an hour and then calls it...

    Battery to connector seal for Excalibur

    I'm trying to locate some new seals as mine is wore out and I don't trust it any more. I've contacted Minelab and was told that I would receive a call but never did. Reminds me of Kellyco. I've contacted them twice in the last week or so to inquire about having some work done to my Excal...

    Is the 10" Slimline coil more waterproof than the Tornado coil is?

    Saw a for sale ad that described the Minelab, Tornado coil as being waterproof down to only one meter. Is that a fact? If I remember correctly, my old Excalibur !! came with the Slimline coil which is, supposedly, good down to 200 feet. I thought that the two coils were, basically, the same...

    Detech 13" Ultimate coil.

    Are any of you guys and gals using the Detech 13" Ultimate coil on your Sovereign or Excalibur? If so, what do you think about it's performance? Does it perform any better than the 10" Slimline/Tornado coil? I'm looking for a coil that is larger than the 8" coil on my Excalibur and will be...

    O-ring kit for Blue Excaliburs?

    Are there o-ring kits available anywhere for the Blue Excalibur? Just got one and would like to replace the o-rings and maybe the knobs, too, if these won't tighten up. Thanks - Daddy
