    Best coil for the Excal in saltwater wading

    I like the 10 inch Minelab coil. The newer tornado one is a thinner profile than the original coil the sword and blue tube versions came with and have the tornado coil on my sword and blue tube Excals. The tornado cuts though the water with a little less drag than the older version.

    Today's beach find

    It will clean up very easily and has a great edge on it already.

    Keep it sell an original Excal 1000

    For about a year I used the F75 LTD on the beach ... I dug more 1/10 to 1/8 inch diameter plastic sequines than I care to think about when it would sound off on the foil side of the sequin. Went back to using the CZs and Excals on the beach and stopped chasing that little annoying stuff. If I...

    Keep it sell an original Excal 1000

    Hard to beat an Excall even more so if you upgrade to better headphones than the standard ones. Some detectors are more sensitive to finer stuff but that also means they detect the smaller little pieces of foil too. That is part of the trade off of detection of every little piece of junk vs just...

    Little helper on the beach

    He actually has a plastic shovel ... he likes to dig in the sand. I think it will be a year or two more before he is ready for a simple detector. Yes, it is a priceless time with the children that they grow out of way too fast.

    Little helper on the beach

    Youngest grandson is staying with us for a couple weeks. He was helping me dig targets. We got the first ring of the year, a little junk ring but at least the beach is starting to give up targets. Targets have been few and far between since Ian went through. Was a beautiful day with lots of...

    CKG Titanium Sand Scoop?

    I like the Motus T-grip handle.

    Totally forgot about this detector for water and salt beach hunting...Anyone ever have..

    Welcome back! Seems not as much good stuff gets dropped as did several years ago ... more people wearing stainless steel and other cheap jewelry ... but good finds can still be had.

    CZ6a Lemons?

    Did you ask Tom? As I recall, a few rare CZ's get to 11 or 12 inches on a dime in air tests, most don't. How are you testing in the ground?

    NOKTA MAKRO (LEGEND) GETTING SUED - PATENT INFRINGEMENT

    I recall reading several years ago a post Dave Johnson made about Minelab objecting to the CZ where he indicated that he showed there were several ways to implement the design that did not infringe on Minelab patents and that the CZ was shown to have not infringed on any. Earlier in this thread...

    Crash Course In Beach Detecting?

    Very nice for a short hunt. Copper leaching out of the sterling ... it's been there a little while. Nice recovery!

    Crash Course In Beach Detecting?

    I've not tried to master bottle cap identification with the F75. Mine is an original LTD model that was starting to get flaky and needed frequent factory rests to bring it back to any sort of sensibility. Was about to send it in when the DST update came out so I sent it in for the DST and it...

    Crash Course In Beach Detecting?

    Yes. That is how I run the F75 LTD I have. I find it a little deeper than other modes but not 3X ... my gosh, if it were three times deeper I'd need a backhoe.

    Crash Course In Beach Detecting?

    The sensitivity down and a little bit of discrimination helps when running in discrimination mode. Several years back, one of the guys who had been running Fisher CZs longer than I have convinced me to run all metal at the beach and when over a target flip to discriminate mode just as a check...

    Any one using the Simplex on wet salt sand or in the water?

    Don't know, haven't tried one yet nor do I recall reading reports on it's use looking for them. Perhaps someone who has tried it looking for nuggets will chime in.

    Crash Course In Beach Detecting?

    Can't help with the NOX ... haven't used one. We would spend two or three weeks on the South Carolina coast every year for a couple decades ... last year we bought our retirement house and moved to South Carolina. Low tide, look for cuts and hunt the deepest cuts you can find. This time of year...

    Any one using the Simplex on wet salt sand or in the water?

    I've done well with some single freq detectors. DetectorPro Underwater with the big coil has pulled some very deep targets up for me; like the 1280X it runs a lower frequency (2.4 kHz). My biggest complaint with that detector is that the audio needs low signal boosting. It is very hard to hear...

    Pinpointers ... what are your current recommendations?

    Tried two different new alkaline batteries then put the meter on them; checked OK then popped both batteries into the CZ6A and it worked fine. Cleaned the battery contacts on the pinpointers and still nothing. The pinpointers sat in a humid basement unused for several years. They were stored...
