    Diving specific questions.

    Just curious how you retrieve targets; scoop, fan, combo, other? Would presume it also is dependent on conditions like sandy sea bottom vs muddy lake. I've not done a lot of UW MD yet but the little I have, realized the scoop was a little unwieldy in that weightless environment since I had...

    Infinium finds 2 lb pearl.

    Took the Infinium to the local dive quarry last Saturday. Only hunted twenty minutes though, my dive buddy does not share the interest in UW metal detecting and was getting board swimming in circles while I was hunting. I did find this 2 lb pearl though.

    New wet sand beach scoop...

    ... well, not really new but newly modified. I found a tool with a collapsable handle that looked like it would be stout enough for the scoop. so I bought one and modified/adapted it to fit my T-Rex. Until now, I had a full size shovel handle in it. I've not tested it and granted, the...

    AT Pro and SCUBA?

    Just wondering if anyone has actually tried the AT Pro while SCUBA diving in shallow water; I've never really considered 10 ft to be more than just clutz proofing and easy hose off for cleaning but lately I've been wondering a little. My 87 y/o Dad tells me of an old sliding board out in the...

    AT Pro rings through...

    Got a phone call from a guy at work tonight around 2100 hrs wanting to discuss safety equipment for the new hire. Now this guy is generally pretty considerate and extremely pragmatic, so calling this late on a Friday is a little out of sorts... After we discussed the company business, he...

    GTI 2500 replacement...

    Anyone got any inside info or good speculation on what/when the next new "GTI2500" will be? Considering the capabilities of some of the current new Garrett detectors, kinda makes me wonder...

    Curious about coils: mono vs DD vs concentric vs...

    Kind of gotten curious about coils lately. Having only two each, for both detectors (large stock and 8" mono on the Infinium, stock DD and smaller DD on AT Pro) it's never been much of an issue; big coil for area and depth, small coil for resolution. But lately I've been reading a bit about...

    Infinium third party coils.

    Tried this in the Infinium section but it's slow over there. I recall some chatter a few years back about third party Infinium coils. Anyone remember them or how well they worked? I was just curious.

    Interesting find yesterday.

    So my truck was acting up and I decided to drive the wife's car. There is an intermittent issue with the seat electronics in hers and sometimes it will not move back,. and yesterday was one of 'em. Was actually airing up the bicycle to ride it down to the park when the wife offered to drop me...

    Open air headphones?

    Anyone try these for detecting? It bugs me to completely cover my ears when out alone. I've been getting by just covering one ear but started thinking about these. Opinions?

    What do you call it?

    Looking for a more eloquent phrase to describe the hobby. I've heard the term "dirt fishing" which is interesting. Sometimes I'll tell the wife I'm going "pinging". What are some different creative terms you guys use? (Not the creative terms when you dig a cashe of beer cans at 3 ft...)

    Third party Infinium coils

    Recall reading a few years back about third party coils for the Infinium. Anyone give them a try? Just curious...

    Pro vs Max

    From reading the chart at Garrett, about the only functional difference between the two is the "All Metal" mode, at least from what I can tell reading. Wireless headphones, volume control are nice but can all be done with third party add ons. Is the all metal mode that much of an added...

    Dying out...

    Kind of sad to see the Infinium forum dying out and was even more saddened learning the Infinium was discontinued; there's been a lot of good information and stories shared here over the years. I've been busy (distracted) with other things in recent years and have not been an active lurker...

    Hawaii; the big island...

    Planning a trip over to Hawaii here in the new year. Does anyone have any tips, advice, tricks, etc they would pass along to a guy making probably his once in a lifetime trip? We are staying at a Hilton on the big island of Hawaii. Mainly I was wondering if I should try to squeeze the ATP in...

    ATX vs Infinum...?

    Is anyone aware of a good comparison of capabilities between ATX and ILS? I'm just curious, since the ATX can't swim out of the kiddy pool (and $2500) it's not a contender anyway... but inquiring minds want to know!

    First ATP electrical interference issue...

    I hope (I think...) Had just started working a section of beach when the unit (ATP) started going bonkers. Checked all the connections, changed coils, checked the connections, unplugged the coil, put it back, checked the connections, but unit still showed no change. When I changed the mode...

    ATP found wheat...

    ... in the most unlikely place. I was hunting a popular beach in the off season and felt fortunate to find anything at all. Total was 9 pennies, a dime, and an approx 5 oz surf fishing anchor. Didn't realize one was a wheat until a day or two later when I was double checking the finds (I was...

    First wheaties with AT

    Have access to an old piece of farm property back home that has a log cabin on it. Went out there once before a few years ago, but it was the wrong season and the underbrush was too daunting... well, along with the poison ivy and bugs. Recently went back home for the holidays and the...

    Archeological Metal Detecting Certification...?

    I ran across a link to this a while back and it has so far been a dead end. Any one here ever hear of an Archeological Metal Detecting certification? It sounded sort of interesting. Thanks John
