    Land of silver gives up 5 more dimes

    Got out after work, These where hard to find. but squeaked them out from the iron running the ctx with fast on and low sensitivity. Also an old AC pin. The other photo is the clad and wheaties from the last several hunts. This brings it close to 120 silver coins from this place

    Land of silver gave up 3 more- an old big one too

    Went out after work, when I got there I had a feeling I was not going to find anything and the place was dried up. Went to an area I did not go to before because its a play area that is not the old. The CTX hit on 12:46 and I was expecting a silver dime and out pops a 1898 Barber half. silver...

    ALWAYS CHECK- you never know what you got

    I have been going through the stuff I found over the years and getting rid of the junk and cleaning the good stuff. I found this a couple years ago in the water and really thought it was a costume bracelet. It looked corroded and looked like junk. I saw this and was about to put it in the junk...

    TDI pro or other PI for the beach

    I currently have an Excal and finds are getting scarce due to the beach being sanded in. I saw a video comparing pulse machines and the TDI pro came out on top easily hitting the 18" item compared to the others. The beach I hunt does not have a lot of junk or iron and can go quite awhile with...

    Excal 2 Threshold question

    Hi, I know you are supposed set the threshold to as low as possible. You want to hear a very faint sound and a slight change can mean it past over something. The manual even states set it too high or too low you lose the faint signals. It has to be just right. When the excal goes over iron, it...

    Ever hear of this?

    I met a fellow detectorist on the beach with the old Excal. He said that if you place the coil on the ground and turn the threshold all the way up for about 2 min and then set it to just audible will make it find deeper items. Any thoughts on this? I only had mine for a few weeks, I set the...

    Results from the week at the beach

    I got rid of all the junk to show the good stuff. I only have a few days with the Excal and I dug everything that might be a possible good signal. So there were many bottle caps and pull tabs. The big ring weighs 13 grams. The smaller ring (bottom left) I found the owner and will be returning...
