    Dare I hold my breath...TOMORROW!!?!?!??

    My dealer tells me my AT Pro will be delivered TOMORROW!! Woohoo!! Now I just have to pick which site to take it to on Saturday! I was planning on going hunting for critters this weekend but it looks like that might change..

    She had the cutest little grin!

    My little 4 year old that is! I took her for a bike ride to a local playground with her little metal detector and high hopes! After we got there she played a bit and while she wasn't looking I tossed a few coins here and there in the mulch. When she asked to use her detector I steered her to the...

    How do you like the color? AT Pro..

    I REALLY like the black color of this detector! I've never been a fan of the yellow on the ACE (use a rain cover), nor particularly of the green on others, although I can live with both since the function is usually more important to me than form. Garrett says they opted for black as being more...

    Performance differences in Garrett 2 box units?

    I'm kicking around buying a Master Hunter with 2 box, just for the 2 box purpose. I know there were several models of the MH over the years that all had a two box option... So is any MH better than another when we're just talking 2 box? The nice lady at Garrett told me that the 2500 would...

    Now I know more than I wanted to...

    about the innards of an Excal!! This morning I thought my detector was acting a little funny. I got out of the water and started looking through the clear spots on the body and there was about two drops worth of water inside!! I thought I just might puke right there but remained calm.. I talked...

    Is it ok to....battery discharge question?

    I've used my Excal on a couple hunts and wanted to go ahead and discharge the battery all the way but wasn't sure how to do it effectively other than maybe just leave the detector on. I have the NiCd batteries and just wanted to be sure they went all the way down before charging back up again so...

    MAN I love this Excal!

    I haven't found any gold yet, but I've found about $10 in change and several silver peices, plus a couple nitro peices of jewelry! All that in just 3 hunts! I've been consistently amazed at the DEPTH I'm pulling some of these targets from! Oh, and I still haven't dug any iron trash except when I...

    Finally just DID it!! Excal...:bouncy:

    Recently I went through the mental process of taking a hard look at what detecting I do most, what detecting brings me the best return, and exactly where my focus should be with regards to how my detectors are specialized. I've gone through the stress of wading with my land detector, lived...

    You know you're in trouble when...

    ..you look up while detecting a new freshwater beach and see another detectorist..who tells you how POUNDED that beach gets. 'There musta been 7 guys with detectors here last time I came out!'. Well dang. No wonder we didn't find a stinkin' thing! LOL... I guess it's time to put some STRATEGERY...

    WOOHOO! Big brown arrived..

    I got my Infinium today!! I can't wait to try it out on the jewelry and then hopefully the goldfields sometime this year!! I was a little nervous about not having a VLF for coinshooting but then a buddy of mine just told me he'd sell me his ACE for a song! He put about 15 minutes on it so it's...

    Big brown truck finally arrived!

    With my Infinium!! Let the fun begin... :super:

    What a small world...

    I was out at lunch on various errands today, one of them to get a permit to detect in a certain area. While there the clerk just happened to mention that she was very close friends with 'the wife of a man who CREATED the whole metal detecting thing right in his garage'... I said 'you must mean...

    Almost a year with my Xterra!

    I'm rapidly approaching the one year mark with my 705!! I started detecting a few years ago with a Silver uMax (OK Monty! MICROMax) and loved it. But of course I wanted more! That silver didn't have a ground balance adjustment and I knew I needed that if I ever wanted to go prospecting. That led...

    Has anybody air tested a cache?

    I did this with my Xterra so I could know what to expect with various coils. I filled a jar full of silver coins and promptly found out the steel lid was probably the biggest factor in detection depth! Anyway, has anybody done any testing with any Tesoro models? What were the results depth-wise...

    Anybody have a Diablo uMax collecting dust?

    For some reason I can't get this detector out of my head. I've looked off an on for one over the last couple years but there aren't many to be had! Also, would anybody know what a generally fair price for one is?

    So what's up with the TigerShark?

    Are the connectors still an issue? These units seem to be out of stock everywhere I've looked! After discovering that the Tiger is essentially a waterproof Bandido, I've been scheming about how to get my hands on one..

    Do you only post CERTAIN finds?

    Like only your finds from private hunting spots? Just wondering if anybody has posted something really good found in a local park, etc. only to find that same place worked over like nobody's business next time they go?

    1st silver of '10...

    A sterling silver spoon! LOL.. not exactly what I had in mind. A local group from another forum got together in south Dallas to hunt a neighborhood that is now gone. The nieghborhood shows on a mid 50's map but was razed some time ago. The unfortunate thing about this hunt was that we noticed...

    Never fails-just when I DON'T have the detector...

    I went to meet a friend for some hunting yesterday-pig hunting that is. He still had some work to do so I decided to check out some public land for pigs since I'm supposed to be finding a place for some friends to hunt. I scouted and didn't see much in the way of signs but still had time to...

    What adventures are you planning for '10?

    Well I'm sitting here in the house because it's raining, ruining another free day that I could've used for detecting! Anyway, as I look ahead I've got a beach trip planned, one or more prospecting trips, a couple cache sites to hit, and I'm also working on getting more access to places that...
