    :surrender: Need Help on Scoop Length

    I plan on going detecting on the beach in about a week. I want to get a kick type sand scoop that I can use mainly for wet sand, but probably will use for dry sand too. I am 5'6" tall, and I need advice on how long of a handle I should get on the scoop. I hope to get a 6 inch diameter scoop. I...

    Do You Like to Hunt with Tide Coming In or Going Out?

    Hello, I am going to try beach hunting somewhere around the Monteray Bay area (Carmel, Santa Cruz, etc in California). We are planning to leave in mid-October. I have read many of your posts. Problem is, my eyes are giving out! My spouse and I are novices to beach hunting. We've hunted mostly...

    :jump:Is This Noise Supposed to Happen?

    My husband just got his Explorer SE and has been practicing with it. He says that when a signal is received, many times there is a THUNK sound after the coil passes the target. Is this normal? What causes the sound? Thanks, Pepper54:detecting:

    STOP!! THIEF!! :yikes: - photos added :cam:

    Wow this is a day I will remember! :blink: Today I went to a park to hunt for a short while. I decided to change coils, so I set my metal detector on the ground and took the Velcro strips off and set them on the ground. I pulled out the other coil out of my truck and hooked it up to the...

    :hot: Need Super Strong Scoop :help:

    I need help to find a long handled sturdy scoop strong enough to dig into muck and small rocks on a riverbed. The handle needs to be strong too for leverage. Does anyone have suggestions on where to get a good one? Pepper54 :detecting:

    Wow! Now We need help deciding:twodetecting:

    The Excalibur 1000 arrived and my hubby and I tried it out yesterday. All I can say is wow :surprised: what a difference! Went to a heavily hunted park beach - (this area is mostly river rock and black sand). I collected 81 coins for about $5.50 total in a few hours. This was the same location I...

    What?? :confused::confused:

    I ordered an Excalibur yesterday on Monday from Kellyco. Later that night, I notice that Ron's has a sale on Minelabs, and the price on the Excalibur was lower than Kellyco's. (Kellyco also has a fall sale going on Minelabs.) When I asked about the 120% price guarantee, I was told that it could...

    Waders, Wetsuit or Drysuit? :jump:

    My husband and I are getting serious about river/lake/ocean metal detecting, (mostly river and lake.) I need recommendations on what to look for, and what to avoid. Are waders, wetsuits or drysuits better? I am leaning toward chest high waders, as it looks to me like getting into and out of...

    White's Beach Hunter :confused:

    I got a White's Beach Hunter via UPS last night. :detecting: I took it out today to a city park where there is a swimming area and dock on the Columbia River. I found about $4.00 in clad, a .925 silver band and a silver guitar shaped earring. No gold yet though. While I was using the BH, the...

    Need Help Finding Lake or River Hunting Information?? :detecting:

    I have read lots of articles & books on how to hunt the beach and surf - all having to do with salt water. Does anyone know where I can find articles, books or videos specifically for lake or river hunting (i.e. fresh water)? :shrug: Pepper54 :usaflag:

    What is the best pinpointer?

    I borrowed a Whites Bullseye pinpointer, and liked it so well I bought the Bullseye II. (I actually liked the Bullseye I better though, it seemed to have more depth.) I want a pinpointer that has a little depth - say 2 plus inches, maybe one with adjustable sensitivity, but not necessary if...
