    I went, I swung, oh man!

    Just got back from the Minelab event at Kellyco. They had two of the CTX's on hand. It may weigh more than my E-Trac but the ergonomics are fantastic. The subjective feeling is like a feather next to the E-Trac. The color display was very easy to see in direct sunlight and all controls easy to...

    Another day wading in the lagoon

    Spent a good part of the day wading in a salt water lagoon site followed by a few hours on the beach. All but a few of the coins and the sunglasses were found with the AT-Pro or came up in the scoop! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/IMG_20120506_141149.jpg

    A nice evening on the beach

    Went out at sunset and hunted until 10pm. Had my faithful wife and a good friend. Also had a lower then normal tide! Found the one on the left with the chain six inches away right in the edge of the surf at low and the one on the right just walking and swinging back up the mid beach later. Also...

    Not everything that glitters...

    with and Etrac is old silver. Sometimes it's gold! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/IMG_20120429_100234.jpg Did an evening hunt on the beach until 10 PM and found these. A nice night!

    Well, I didn't win but...

    I entered the Minelab find of the month competition with a nice pile of relics from one hole including a nice sash buckle. The guy who won deserved it but I still got a nice consolation prize! Nice that they recognize their customers efforts...

    Well, I didn't win but.....

    I entered the Minelab monthly finds contest with the 1800's ladies sash buckle and other relics I dug from one hole a while back. I didn't win, the guy who did really deserved it, but I did get a nice letter and a key chain. Nice that they recognize their customers efforts...

    Boot question

    Been looking at some wetsuit boots for wading and have a question. I've usually used neoprene high top socks when diving but in a soled boot for wading do you like the low cut zipperless or high top zipper style best. One of my concerns is keeping the sand out so it doesn't abrade the skin while...

    Another three hours in a park

    Wandered of into a park today for three hours. Running the AT-Pro with my favorite 5x8. Hit places that had seen several outdoor weddings and a festival recently and picked up a few coins and trash. Took my wife out to an area that has lots of water birds so she could try to get some pictures...

    Three hours, two parking lots and a 5x8 coil with the Pro

Plated copper and fake stones, aauuuggghhhhh! The chain appears to be gold plated and rang...

    ALittle wrap up on the AT-Pro

    http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/IMG_20120316_165516.jpg That's my champion digger/target recoverer holding my newly camo wrapped AT-Pro. After a pretty dirty hunt I thought I'd wrap it in some gun wrap. Works pretty good. It only sticks to it's self, can be removed in about one...

    Dressing up my Etrac

    http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/IMG_20120315_171931.jpg After a muddy hunt last week I decided to ad a little covering and protection. I got a pack of McNett Camo Form gun wrap. I'm impressed with this stuff. It is not adhesive based, it only adheres to it's self. It forms a...

    Saving up

    Been doing a little beach hunting with both the AT-Pro and Etrac and doing fairly good but...... I'm saving for a dedicated water machine and I'm torn three ways. PI like a Garrett Sea Hunter is tempting but where I may be in a few years the beaches are sometimes pretty trashy. A CZ-21 or Excal...

    Selling like hotcakes

    Was down at Kellyco today picking up a shaft and found out that the AT-Pro is selling so fast they are having a heck of a time keeping them in stock. They even sold their demo unit. Only machine they sell more of is the Ace 250. Garret must be doing something right.

    From an 1800's site, all in one hole.

    http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/finds/IMG_20120212_071536.jpg It appears to be brass there is one stone missing in the center. There is a narrow flat bail on the right side in the picture for possibly a ribbon? Never bumped into one like this before. No evidence on back of other...

    Etracs, they're not just for silver....

    Had a great day Saturday it started when hitting a location we've been over a lot. The difference was it rained hard the night before and the sandy soil was wet. First ten minutes got us this: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/finds/IMG_20120212_072501.jpg Got my pulse going but...

    Florida detecting

    It ain't all beaches, resorts and parks. These were taken in the woods on a new site for us. Big oaks, huge old vines, palmettos, bamboos and lots of thorny "wait a minute" vines. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/finds/th_IMG_20120211_150301.jpg?t=1329083512...

    Anyone try beach hunting in just pinpoint mode?

    Had another minelab guy I met on the beach back a month or so say to try hunting in pinpoint for more depth. Well the beach conditions were poor but we wanted a day on the beach this weekend. Seriously sanded in, some places looked to have several feet of new sand. Findings were pretty poor...
