    Found This Interesting Tid Bit From Andy Sabisch's Field Test Of The GT & It's Sensitivity To Tiny Targets Compared To Older Sovereigns...

    A while back some of us had a debate on just how sensitive the Sovereign was to small objects. Appears the old thread blurbs I ran across from when the GT first came out had some merit to what they were saying- That it appears to be more sensitive than prior Sovereigns, as I also find that my GT...

    Ergonomics- Setting Your Sovereign Or Excalibur Shafts Up For For Ideal Balance And Comfort, And Getting COG (Center Of Gravity) Right Too. Very Impor

    If you have any opinions to share on this topic please do. Here's my thinking... Many people worry about setting a machine up the way they want it but don

    Somebody Asked Me In A PM About A Minelab "F3" He Can Buy? Says It Is Made By Minelab.

    Not sure if he's wanting to post publicly so I figured I'd ask for him and he can chime in if he wants. Sounds like a military mine detector maybe? Anybody?

    Today's Dry Sand Hunt With The Newbie...

    The new guy to detecting I met a day or so ago wanted to meet up with me for a dry sand hunt, so this morning we met at a beach. When I got there there was a guy using a Bounty Hunter, swinging the coil about a foot off the ground. I chatted with him a second and he said he's been detecting for...

    Picture Of Silver Butterfly Ring I Found Yesterday Water Hunting...

    About almost the size of a quarter in the size of the butterlfy. A neighbor told me this type of silver ring is called a certain something in it's effort/design, but I don't remember what she called it. She only told me that that sort of silver wire framed ring takes some effort to make and...

    It's A Go! Newbie I Ran Into On A Beach Yesterday Has Secured Permission For Me & My Main Hunting Partner To Join Him At His Friend's Land To Hunt Old

    It's about 2 acres of land his friend owns. The house on the property is also old and his parents owned it before this friend of his, and so they know nobody has ever hunted this property. The depot I guess is no longer there (I think he said) but he's already researched where it stood and has a...

    Another Lone Wolf Water Hunt With GT Today, & Made Another Kill! I Guess The Two Good Deeds I Did At That Beach Today Scored Me Some Karma Points, & I

    Got a late start again today, but headed back to the beach I hit yesterday where they don't care if you detect mid day, so long as you stay well away from swimmers and such. I planned to do that, because I was headed way down the beach back to that cut I worked yesterday and beyond. When I got...

    Stepping Down In Stages In Coil Size To Re-Work A Site. Big Reason For Doing That In "Steps" From Large, To Smaller, To Smaller, To Smallest...

    I was thinking about this the other day. People tend to use a large coil first to work a site and then go back later with the smallest tiny trash coil they have to re-work the trash for any masked stuff they missed before. Only problem with that is that you are jumping from a large coil with...

    A Great Idea Maybe? Or Just A Real Dumb One? Way To Mount Your Control Box Water Hunting To Wade Deeper...

    I was thinking of a guy I saw a while back on the forums, who had an Ace 250 (great little performer for it's price), and he was water hunting by sticking his control box on the top of a straw hat sitting it down inside the "bowl" of the hat or something if I remember right. Anyway, I was...

    2nd Lone/Morning Water Hunt With GT. Again Another Beach We Hadn't Hit Yet This Year. That Makes 2 Beaches In 2 Days We Hadn't Hit. Made Somewhat A Ra

    Since I had gridded out the small beach yesterday (where I got the small gold ring) as deep as I dare go wading with my GT chest mounted, and since the other beach on prior hunts I had also gridded to death as deep as I could go there, I figured I needed a new place to water hunt this morning...

    Going To Add An AT Pro To My Line Up Of Machines For A Water Hunting Unit, & As A Land Backup. A Few (I Mean A Bunch :biggrin: ) Questions...

    I can wade a little over belly button deep with my primary land machine chest mounted when I want to go water hunting, but I need a machine for those water days I want to go a bit deeper say to shoulder deep. Also would be a perk for land use on days it's raining or I'm in the odd mood to swing...

    Another Water Hunt At Sunrise. I Was A Loan Wolf Today, But Sometimes A Loan Wolf Will Make A Kill! :biggrin:

    My buds asked me if I was going to meet them down at the beach we've been hitting for the 3rd day in a row. I said no point to it, because I can't get that extra foot deep with my GT chest/shoulder mounted where they'd been working a cut, and as said the rest of the beach was sanded in badly and...

    On Storage Wars I Missed The Part Where He Found A Metal Detector. What Model & What Did They Appraise Or Get For It?

    Just curious what model detector it was and what they said it was worth, because I usually have no idea what the real value is of most of the things they come across and wonder if they are beefing up the prices on the show to make it sound better than it is in what they are getting out of those...

    Another Sunrise Water Hunt- 1 GT, 2 Excals, 1 Tesoro Tiger Shark, & Some Bling

    Used my water rig today but I got skunked other than some coins, junk, and 1 big loop earing made from junk metal. I also got a ying/yang (or whatever they are called) pendant, also junk. As deep as I could go (just above my belly button with the GT chest/shoulder mounted) everything was sanded...

    Sunrise Water Hunt, 1 GT, 1 Excal, 1 Tesoro Tiger Shark, & 1 HEAVY Platinum Ring! & A Warning About Water Hunting With Sovereign...

    Woke up a few hours before daylight and thought since I wasn't groggy I might as well meet up with two friends for a water hunt where they had told me they'd be this morning. The spot they intended to hunt has been sanded in for a week or so, and since I water hunted with my water rig (my water...

    Tearing It Up With The Excalibur...

    I don't see any problem with saying this in an open forum, because nobody knows what friend I'm talking of or what state he's in, let alone which of about 12 beaches that are within about a 30 to 40 mile radius to where he lives...But he's been pulling the bling out of the water with his...
