    Hunting manners

    Would love some views on manners, and consideration when hunting on the beach. I went down last night for a couple of hours to do the wet sand, took my 10 year old daughter down with her Ace 250 so she could have a go on the dry. Anyhow, fired up the GS5 and started to grid the wet, my shovel...

    Found a little time....

    Weather still really bad over here, wind and rain, miserable summer. Very few people on the beaches. Took a chance on a very small neap tide yesterday, in the hope that the sand that has been brought in brought a few goodies with it. No gold or silver, but did have a fully working watch, so not...

    PI gain over excal2

    Hi Guys, Going over to Spain a little later this year and was just wondering if anyone knows how the Whites pi pro would perform against the Excal2. I know there is going to be a depth improvement, but I don't know how the Whites handles compared to my Goldscan5. I just feel that I am walking...

    SE Pro hits my first ice

    Took my new SE out for a spin on the beach for 2 evenings and I gotta say that the new coil works VERY well. Seems to be a lot more stable, target separation seems to be better, pinpoint seems to be better and the ability to see targets close or on top of iron is, well....see for...

    Ring polishing question please

    Hi guys, Bought a starter kit today for polishing, it came with 3 compounds of differing grits. Now the compounds are very hard in stick form, so I was wondering how you use them, do you rub the ring on the sticks, add water or break some off and make a paste with water? I know it seems like a...

    Sov GT back from Minelab, hits silver and gold

    Got my GT back from Minelab yesterday, It's had a new pcb fitted and been tweaked a little. Signals were hitting mighty hard, had to turn the volume down from where I usually have it set. Slipped off work a little early to catch the falling tide. The high neap tides have been in the early to...

    HELICOPTERS, RAIN AND LOOT

    Went out on a calculated hunt yesterday, was due to rain mid afternoon and I knew the beach was packed. Turned up at the beach at around 3.30 pm, as I got there the scanners burst into life, the coastguard and the beach lifeguards discussing a casualty on the beach. I got kitted up with the...

    Is it worth buying an Excal to go with the GS5?

    Hi all, Bought a GS5 just last week, getting on pretty well with it, pulling coins from some very impressive depths. It can't go up on the dry sand due to the iron and rubbish ( buried bbq's ) etc, so I was wondering if it's worth getting an excalibur to compliment the GS5 when I want to do...
