    Question to refresh my mind about some older coils.

    Could do what I did to get a FZ-12 coil for my CZ6a for beach work ... it was in a package with a CZ5, the FZ-12 and the 8 inch coil. I bought the package then turned right around and sold the CZ5 with the 8 inch coil and kept the FZ-12.

    Bought a Compadre with a 7” coil

    Thanks! I had all the info already but still nice to see you go to the effort to look it up and re-post it for all who might be interested! The Compadre mod is not at the top of my projects list yet ... probably won't be for a while.

    Bought a Compadre with a 7” coil

    I think the 7 inch coil is perfect for the Compadre! Right now, mine has a 9x8 concentric hard wired. I've got a 7 inch Troy coil and need covert the Compadre to a connector connection to swap between coils.

    The New " Garrett Vortex" has been released!

    Agree! The Fisher Impulse AQ LTD has those ancient design shaft locks and at least a few of us have taken them off and replaced them with cam-locks like the ones shown from Steve's Detector Rods. Problem of silting up solved!

    Battery replacement for Excalibur II

    I'm seeing this at maxxpacks. Would need the correct charger for them. They advertise that their CH710 charger works but when I go to the CH710 charger it says for Ni-MH / NiCad...

    Battery replacement for Excalibur II

    I got one about four years ago and it is holding up well. I got one from Maxxpacks for one of my other excals about 8 years ago and it is still going too but Maxxpacks were out when I ordered from nextbatteries.

    Sovereign Elite coil

    The original repair thread is missing. There is a URL to the original repair post in the thread below, but would have to go through the internet "wayback machine" to find it and, unfortunately, most of the times I go to the "wayback machine" for old Findmall posts, the images are gone. Try this...

    Sovereign Elite coil

    Short of sending it to Minelab, the cable can be replaced. There are some posts about how to do it. I'll do some searching and see if I can find them to link here.

    Battery replacement for Excalibur II

    If you don't hear back from maxxpacks, try nextbatteries ... they have a 1400 mAh Ni-MH pack for the Excalibur listed for $43.50 ... I didn't go far enough in the web page to find shipping though.

    Worst designed water sifter.

    Not good if it drifts towards where you are detecting either. With a non-metallic sifter you can dump a scoop into it then wave the detector over the sifter to see if you got the target into the sifter. Won't work with that one. Appears to be a sifter made by CKG and not RTG.

    3rd Day of Beta Beach Program Testing and Thoughts on the upcoming Beach update.

    Any in water experience? How does it handle waves (does it sound on the water movement) and how does being fully in salt water affect response to deep targets and ability to run high sensitivity?

    Another water hunt pays off

    I've found some beaches like that too. Can usually see remains of a fire somewhere in the area. Unfortunately the blobs come in at the same range gold does.

    Another water hunt pays off

    Looks like people had a camp fire and were throwing their beer or soda cans in it.

    Again, my OCD got the best of me. I caved, and purchased a Fisher Impulse AQ.

    Here is one hunt that was spectacular: https://www.findmall.com/threads/was-such-a-good-aq-day-i-had-to-post-some-finds.362876/ I mostly run all metal with it but do spend some time running discrimination set where a zinc penny just goes into low tone. That setting also makes nearly all the...

    Carbon Fiber Travel Handle Older Sunspot Scoop

    Good to know. That did not show in their add that I saw.

    Seeking Opinions

    I had a belt clip and put the CZ 20 back on a straight shaft so I could flick the discrimination switch with my thumb from Auto tune to disc 0 and back. If you keep in in one mode, the belt mount does make things easier to swing, in the water too.

    Deal on new CZ3Ds from First Texas

    With all due respect; my understanding is that Felix retired after a long career. Yes, Felix was excellent with respect to customer service. I have had very good response to an issue I had with a detector after Felix's retirement; all is not lost.

    Seeking Opinions

    I have not used a Legend. I like a CZ on the beach. The way I run one is all metal (auto tune) with a just audible threshold. Can either dig all so as to not miss any gold that might be there; or when over a target, flip to discriminate 0 and listen to help identify the target. Keep in mind that...

    New Nokta PI

    It is supposed to be water proof to at least wading depth. Other than that, I haven't heard much. Apparently it is taking a little longer to release than originally expected. I hope the time is being spent to get it right and not deliver something that will need a lot of updating to get it...

    Beach hunting shoes

    I wear socks too. Prevents blisters for me.
