    Any other "Spring Break" beach hunters out there this week? I'm from Michigan but am a regular spring breaker to Crescent Beach, Florida - just south of St. Augustine. I'd like to here from others that may be hunting the Florida shorelines (or any others) during spring break. Just a thread...

    Who has said the heck with the $150 LiIon Battery?

    Mine Won't fully charge, constant blinking green light. 2 years old used seasonally here in Michigan. Ran all the way dead - recharged - still constant blinking green light. Thinking I'm just not going to plop down $150 for a replacement LiIon battery. Maybe get a second AA battery case. If I...

    17" Coil - Cleaning it up...

    For those 17" coil users out there. Did any of you take your new 17" inch coil to those parks you've already cleaned out and find that you were able to actually find additional silver with the 17" that you weren't with the stock 11"? I mean, did you hands down come home with silver that you...

    Wet/Dry Soil Conditions - How does it effect detecting?

    Anyone have and facts/opinions on if soils moisture conditions hinder or help as far as detecting goes? As summer has finally dried out my local parks soil - I seem to continue to find more coins in areas I've detected many times since spring. The soil under the sod is dry sandy soil now. Was...

    Long Range Gold & Silver Locator to go with CTX?

    Just ran across these gizmos on eBay then did a google search. Wow - I have to think they actually sell some of these with all those for sale. Amazing... I think I'll just complete my setup with the 17" coil...lol

    Geohunt dates are all Jan/Feb 1970....???

    Hello Detectorists... Searched "Wrong Geohunt Dates", "Wrong Dates", "1970" with no luck of any hits in the search box... Anyone have trouble with their CTX not showing the correct date when recording GeoHunts? (Jan/Feb 1970s) Anyone have your correct UTC setting still put you an hour off? I...

    What is your "goto" Mode and Tone ID for coins in parks?

    What is your "goto" Mode and Tone ID for coins in parks? I've been trying to gain confidence in the Ferrous-Coin & Combined Tone. I'm confused with the silent "good" numbers... Where have you settled in at with your CTX settings to where you feel most confident that you know what you are going...

    Why does glass sound like metal?

    One odd thing about metal detecting, as a newbie, is that thick glass throws a nice silver signal. What is this all about? Weird.

    Hunting parks in Saltwater Mode?

    What does the Saltwater mode do? I follow Evan Granger (gonehunting for history) and in his latest video he was hunting a yard in the grass looking for silver coins and after finding a nice seated quarter mentioned he was hunting in saltwater mode. Said it made the signal clearer. ?? Anyone...

    Anyone dig those 12:40 readings???

    I always get a nice screw off top. Either from a wine bottle or some other glass bottle. I've been ignoring 12:38 - 12-41... A deep signal may make me try to make something out of the signal but anything shallow I keep going... Jason

    Minelab's New "Dual Coil" - 6" and 11" in one!

    Well ok - I lied. BUT - How about a two size in one switchable coil. Flip a switch for 6" OR 11". Is this impossible or just a conflict "of profits" for the manufactures? Seems like a no brainier on the consumer end. Any thoughts? Jason

    Is there a 6" coil that works with the CTX besides Minelabs $300 one?

    I did a search - nothing specific. Would rather not spend an extra $300+ for Minelabs 6" coil. Investigating a non-hyperinflayed cost alternative. I see EXcellerator makes a 6" but can't see where it is for use with the CTX. SEF....is this the same company?? Frankly not able to find a 6" coil...

    Waterproof plug??

    I want to use my CTX wireless headphones under my raincoat hood when hunting in the rain. Is there a waterproof plug for the waterproof head phone jack in the back of the CTX? Did I miss something out of the box? I have the plastic "adapter" for the ROSS headphones but of course it is not...

    Beach Hunting Terms...

    Hello all you Beach Hunters... I'm looking for explanations of some certain ocean beach terms that I read about often. Pictures would be really cool too. Towel-Line - Where is this and is it a constant or every changing location? High Tide Line - The highest line of seaweed on the beach...

    Comfort Zone...Do you hunt your towns median?

    Hello, New to MDing. I've read that hunting between the sidewalk and road can be a good spot for old silver coins in older parts of your town. Do you all just get out there and start swinging the coil? I would love to freeze time and everyone in town while I hunt these high profile high...
