    I ordered the 15 inch Manticore coil today

    With only a couple of hours swinging the 15" coil on a Stork Leg shaft, I have to say I am going to love the combination. With the 15" coil it is all about the area covered in a single swing.especially underwater, the reduced drag of the slim shaft I have a winner. I don't have enough time...

    I ordered the 15 inch Manticore coil today

    Got mine mounted on a Stork Leg. Saturday and Sunday's low tides with good times and above freezing temperatures I"ll find out just how awesome the Beast is. Sand is coming in, not a good thing but there will be some areas that just might give up something good. Can hardly wait, Yesterday's snow...

    Goodbye PI.

    I can feel the pain, but each of my detectors with one of its coils will outperform all others in specific environments. No one detector is the ultimate machine for every environment. VLF, Multi-Freq, PI, land/soil/sand, water salt or fresh, metal and size of object in search of, weight of...

    ATX coils

    Electrically I understand they are compatible, but some very special haft mountings have to be home made, not an easy task.

    which has been your favorite garrett?

    For salt water the Garrett Infinium when hip mounted, Function wise the ATX would have taken first place, but its physical size and weight make the beast a chore to use.

    Attention all ATX owners past or present.

    Years ago my original coil wire failed. It was replaced when I called Garrett. The replacement came with the lower rod and has been fine since replacement. I keep the couplings washed out after each use, and ensure the shafts move freely. I use a portable power washer to clean off the detectors...

    Anyone ever encounter this problem??

    Electrolysis would be my next method. The Whydah Pirate Museum has a superb setup. A great tour if you ever make a trip to Cape Cod.

    OBN, What is the gold count this year??

    Now I know where all the older class rings have gone. Great presentation. Just wondering if you have kept a record of hours per year you have spent in the water achieving such a collection. At 76 I still strive to detect 400 per year. I am at 250 for this year so far, I better get going. We have...

    I did everything!

    Depending on what the "island" beaches are like, I would test the 900 against the PI and more than likely I would stay with the PI. Each environment you detect may change your mind. I detect beaches that I would only use a PI and other only a Multi-Freq water detector.

    11' Equinox Coil repair questions

    I have used PC7 (black) and PC11(white) epoxy with great success since 1992....tried and true. I have not used the gorilla product. A reinforcement of some kind is recommended and then one of the 3D printed supports. Make sure the added support does not prohibit the use of the 3D Brace.

    Leaking PF35

    My PF35 leaked the first time in the water. Maybe Flex Seal will "renew" mine, nothing to loose.

    Nox 800 headphone not working.

    Try cleaning the contacts on both the charger cable and the headphone with a soft pencil eraser. Make sure there is no small build up of magnetic particles on the charger magnet.

    Nox 700 charger

    If you have the Samsung charger, it is not a cheap knock-off, it will serve you well.
  15. WaterWalker

    Charging

    The charger should have a rating of at least 5V - 2.0A. The contacts on the detector and the charging cable need to be clean. Rub them LIGHTLY with a PINK eraser then a soft cloth. Reconect and it can take upwards of 7 hours depending on how discharged the battery ways.

    Best coil for the Excal in saltwater wading

    All I used on my Sword and 1000 was the WOT 15" coil. It (two coils) served me well for over 9 THOUSNAD hours.

    Snow Snow Snow..!

    Way back in 2003 a maintenance man lost all his keys while snow plowing the parking lot. I found 17 of the 18. I went back a month later after the snow melted and found the last, lost key. February 2015 - A schoolteacher lost two rings while out on a fire drill. The school's janitor found the...

    Keep it sell an original Excal 1000

    I still have my original Excal Sword, from 1991, and will never sell it. It still finds the good stuff. It has the original headphones, on it's fourth coil, its original, two WOT coils and now a Excal II coil. A new carbon fiber shaft, the first was broken when it was caught in a Mexican bus...

    CKG Titanium Sand Scoop?

    I bought the Extreme Surf Master X3 with the 54” CF handle. Later on I added the Anderson Neptune T-Grip which is similar to the CKG Metal Detecting Treasure Hunting Back Saver Pull Handle but is offered in various colors. And I just received the Extreme 3 piece travel shaft for the Titanium...
