    CZ70 pro tips

    Here is an oldie but goodie hint page for CZ's, although it is mainly focused on detecting dirt rather than beach. http://www.mikewd.fws1.com/mikestips.htm

    Small thin chain found with AQ LTD

    Where I'm at (most of the time) that area is normally pretty hard packed. Might be more a dry sand tool if I were to make or obtain one.

    CZ70 pro tips

    I have not used a cz70. I've used CZ5, CZ20 and CZ6a. On the beach I like to hunt auto tune (all metal) with a barely audible threshold and flip to discriminate mode to add target information. In discrimination mode, the CZ platform will slide an ID down as the target gets deeper. A deep gold...

    Small thin chain found with AQ LTD

    A few years ago I was considering getting or making a rake to snag chains like this. The more I read of those who used them had me rethink because the reported effort to drag the rake through the sand seemed to be a better endeavor if I were a few decades younger.

    Small thin chain found with AQ LTD

    Got to give credit to the detector. Even with ATS at 8 and delay at 10.5 to quiet things in the water movement it hit very audibly.

    Small thin chain found with AQ LTD

    I rarely get chains, let alone this small. Was about knee deep in the wash and the AQ hit on this one. Did not come up on the first scoop but did on the second scoop. No good way to know how deep it was but it is heard well on the AQ in the air at 4 inces and fades out around 5 inches. It is...

    Need help fixing my old sword Excaliburs

    I'm not finding the info right away. I'll do some more looking. Perhaps Oldbeechnut will see the post ... I think he has the information pretty close at hand. Edited to add: Read down this thread. It has some of the information but not all...

    First time Water detecting. 10 cents richer.

    Handle floats. I have an eye hook on the end so I can put a leash on the scoop too. I use boogie board leashes that I take off of the broken cheap foam boogie boards that people buy for their kids. Kids break them then they are deposited in the trash cans by the beach. Those leashes are in use...

    First time Water detecting. 10 cents richer.

    Sunspot Equipment Stealth scoop, 720 hybrid model. I bought mine when they were still being made in Michigan. Manufacturing has been moved offshore now.

    First time Water detecting. 10 cents richer.

    I use a scoop with small holes on the bottom section. Works a lot better for me than carrying a sifter around when I'm working a mile or more of beach both over the wet sand and in the water looking for cuts in the sand. If I were only in the water, like I was when I was in Maryland working the...

    CZ 5 recovery speed

    In discrimination mode, targets hide near iron. When you get accustomed to the sound in all metal and sweep from different directions around a target, a narrower tone from one sweep direction and wider from another sweep angle can indicate non-ferrous masked by ferrous. The only way to know for...

    CZ 5 recovery speed

    Not lightning fast. CZs like a relaxed sweep speed. If you are hunting a very trashy environment the 5 inch coil is ok. I think the 8 inch coil is an excellent coil for the majority of detecting work.

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    That is when it is important to understand how Riparian laws might apply. In many cases you can still detect the water up to the mean high tide line legally. Edited to add: If it is National Park or other federal property, then most likely out of luck.

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    That might push me to hunt the blanket line where all the fresh dropped bottle caps are and, on occasion, a nice ring that fell to the sand in the rush to pick up blankets, chairs and kids when a wave hits them. ;-)

    Fisher CZ's still the King

    Take time over targets and learn your detector. It takes time and thought. After a while more and better finds start coming in. Good luck!

    F series

    F75 LTD here. Used it recently to trace a buried power wire that goes to a shed and to sort a pile of pennies between zinc and copper. Nearly all of my detecting is salt water beach now so it doesn't get used like it used to.

    Experience with the detector can make a big difference. Perhaps experience with the detector was his big advantage. Both detectors are very good.

    Was such a good AQ day I had to post some finds

    Cost less here. More house for the dollar. If you are a non-resident the real estate taxes are about the same as a resident in Maryland but residents get a big reduction and then after being here a year there is a further deduction for seniors ... although there are county by county differences...

    Was such a good AQ day I had to post some finds

    Yes! Out of the communist state of Maryland and to the wonderful state of South Carolina. Loving life here! Thanks for noticing!

    Fisher Fisher Impulse-AQ

    Not sure who you are asking ... as for me, I'm just getting old with aches and pains after exertion that take a lot longer to recover from than when I was younger.
