    Beach hunt this morning....

    Well I hit the beach early this morning before the crowds. Got there at 6am and was out of there by 8am. There was no one else detecting when I got there, but by 7 I counted at least 4 others beside myself. That was in the water, there may have been more on shore. The tide was high but i still...

    Sailing School Beach....

    So I went yesterday afternoon and hunted a beach in front of a sailing school for a couple hours. The trash was unbelievable! Pull tabs GALORE!! One thing I found interesting though, A large majority of them(75%) were the "old style" pull tabs and deep. Also found some very corroded pennies. I...

    I found the GOOD STUFF!!!!

    Well first of all I have to say thanks to everyone for the pointers and motivation in my last thread. I couldn't stand it anymore and had to get out after work today! Went and hit the beach where I found the silver earing on saturday and was told that a fellow detectorist found a womans gold...

    Where's the good stuff?????

    I guess this is kind of a poll of sorts. I am wondering if any of the seasoned beach hunters can chime in as to where they have found the most good jewelry. The beaches I am hunting are crowded everyday that the sun shines in the summer and there are equal numbers of swimmers, sunbathers...

    My first Jewelry with the Excal II

    Well my wife wanted to take our daughter to the beach saturday afternoon so I packed up the detector :) Tide was high and the beach was packed but I managed to find my first piece of jewelry! A 925 sterling earing. It hit really hard at about 4" deep. There was another guy hunting with an MXT...

    New vs. Older Excal II's

    So I have read of some issues on the first batch of Excal II's as far as the chords being weak near the housing and the headphones. Has the issue been addressed by Minelab and are the newer models better than the older ones? Thanks, Aaron

    Excal II couple questions...

    A couple quick questions about the Excal II. I have heard it is good for the battery to do a complete discharge and recharge every once in a while. Can someone tell me how often and what method do you use to discharge safely? In between usage is it best to leave the battery connected to the...

    1st trip with my Excal II

    Well, I woke up at 5:30am on my day off to go hit the beach and try out my new Excal II. Started at a fairly popular local beach and hunted for about an hour and a half. Really spent a lot of time playing with the detector and learning the tones, and adjusting the threshold and sensitivity. Very...

    Headed to the beach in the AM.....

    I am taking my new(to me) Excal II to the beach for it's first outing in the morning. I've been playing around with it in the yard with good results. Any ideas on where to hit hard for best results on a well used public beach? Dry sand, breaking surf, waist deep??? I am on the Florida gulf coast...

    Just got an Excalibur II, couple questions.....

    Hello everyone! I have been out of metal detecting for about 5 or 6 years and have finally decided to get back in. Just picked up 2 detectors I hope to work for me in different situations. I got a new Garrett AT Pro and a 6 month old Minelab Excalibur II. I've been playing with both this weekend...

    New AT Pro Owner!!!!

    Just picked up an AT Pro from KellyCo!! So far I am very impressed with it's value. First target I dug in my backyard on it was a 1945D Wheatie!! After that it was all trash :) Oh well, it was nice that the first target was a good one. Can't wait to try it at some old parks. Can't wait to browse...
