    A Darn Good Story

    A wonderful find to remember for a end of the year find. Now looking forward to a New Year: May the ring of gold be in your ears and its glitter in your scoop! Making memories is what it is all about.

    Short hunt = beach gold

    AH, to go back to the 70s and 80s when a bad day was one when you came home with only 4 or 5 gold rings a day. Now we have to contend with all the SS, Titanium, Tungsten Carbide that are worthless for scrap value. But the thrill is still there. Just now I have more time to reminisce of the...

    OOOPS, I did it again.. Nope, didn't meet Britany spears..... Back from OBX

    I am afraid I have to say the days of 100+ coins and 5 or 6 gold rings are long gone. UNLESS... Mother Nature helps and moves a mammoth pile of sand. She did that just a week or so ago. Two of us hit a low spot and pulled 14 rings (no junk SS, TC Ti rings) and a few silver coins. One day only...

    Manticore owners: Do i need 1?

    To me the best feature of the Manticore is the 2D display. 98% of my detecting in the water and the perfect dot on the center line has save me from digging several pieces of junk and digging a desirable target. Several other setting are nice, but not a necessity. It has become my first choice...

    From my info the WM 08 that came with my Equinox 800 will not function with the Manticore, you need to find a WM 09.

    Just bought a hookah set- Any recommendations from experienced users?

    I thought about one myself. If I had I would have taken a free scuba lesson offered at many of the Caribbean resorts. Also I would never have dove alone. I still think about it, but this old dog is fine with the tricks he already knows. Walk in the water and carry a big scoop. It has worked...

    Manticore 5x8 coil is HOT on low conductors

    15" or larger for the season's fresh drops. Use the smaller coil or a PI in the off seasons for the small, deep stuff.

    Gold...sell or hold ?????

    Some of us have asked the same thing when gold hit 800, then 1000, then 1200, 1500, 2000, now 2400 how about 3000? If you don't need the cash, I would hold onto it. When you do sell, never look back. The hobby has paid for itself, enjoy it.

    Your only options on coils are the standard (M11), M8 and M15. All depends on what you are searching for and the environment.
