    snoopythebeagle headphone sale worked good...

    Snoopy was so determined that everything was OK that he contacted me every couple of days to make sure the Rat Phones had arrived. He was more concerned about an honest transaction than I was. He could have sent a fine China the way they were packaged and Fed Ex couldn't have broken it. Jim

    E-Trac is Deep

    I was hunting a football field sideline yesterday. I have a shovel that is only about 2" wide but is about 24" long. If a target is deeper than 6" and I can't get it with the Gator, I use this tool because it allows me to go straight down deeper without enlarging the hole. Got a signal and it...

    Tiger Shark Coils

    Anybody know the different coils that are available for the TS? Thought I read something about a Double D. Also heard about a really old design that is hard to find but really works well. You gotta pay for the antique value as well as the function value if you ever locate one. Any of your...

    Vibraprobe 580

    Got it yesterday and tried it out in the field today. Placed it on my belt instead of the Garrett Pro Pointer. I always use the X-1 on the E-Trac but thought I'd give it a try as it's waterproof and good to 100'. Don't have to worry about rain. Air testing on most coins was about 1.5" It's...

    FS...New in the bag Koss headphones &

    I'll be happy to give to a 'newbie' who has no pin pointer, my old Tiny Tec Deluxe, that still works fine. It might help someone who has nothing but if you have an X-1 or a Garrett Pro Pointer, the Tiny Tec wanes in comparison. The Tiny Tec is free to the first newbie who contacts me. I want...

    What are the differences between...

    A CZ21 and the 1280-X Aquanaut? I have the 1280, hunt freshwater only, and am wondering if it'd be an advantage to use a CZ-21. Thanks...Jim

    Interesting Reading

    Even though I am an E-Trac user, I find this forum contains much more sharing of detecting know how and I spend a lot of time reading it. It kind of seems like the moderator of any given forum has his/her personality traits evident and that forms the attitude displayed and the way posters...

    Use UTM for land navigation not Lat and Long

    I posted this as a repsonse to a question farther down the page and after reading other posts on here I thought I would add my experiences as new post. I work with and help train search and rescue units. We just got brand new hand held GPS, Garmin E-Trex HCx (H=Highsensitivity C=color x=...

    Hookah Air hose Lines...

    The air lines I use for my Hookah are 100' long. Originally they came in a nice tightly coiled package secured with nylon tape. Undoing the tape and straightening them out was a little hassle. When done diving I have to re-roll those hoses into some kind of coil so they can be transported and...

    Dual field coil...It floats...I don't want it to float...

    Used the dual field for the first time yesterday while wading. It got to be a pain keeping the coil on the bottom when digging a target. It wasn't too bad to swing that way but let go for a second and it floats. I cannot believe White's put a floating coil on an UW detector. Anybody know how...

    'Test' Run With the DC Hookamax... (Long)

    This all began with not wanting to carry SCUBA tanks, find air, do annual inspections, hydro every five years, etc. At this ripe old age I know I am not going deep anymore. (There's no loot there anyway unless your last name is Fisher) I thought Hookah is the way to go. I started with an...

    Found some info on the low self discharge NiMHs

    The low self-discharge nickel-metal hydride battery (LSD NiMH) was introduced in November 2005. It reduces self-discharge and, therefore, lengthens shelf life compared to normal NiMH batteries. By using improved separator and improved positive electrode, manufacturers claim the batteries retain...

    8" Stealth SunRay for ETrac

    I have the 8" coil and coil cover. Used very little. Got a 6X8 SEF and I don't need two 8" coils. At this point I think I prefer the SEF. $115 delivered. Postal money order only please. Jim

    Excalibur 1000 with factory headphone mod...

    This unit has just been returned from Minelab, was completely serviced, and has not been used since. The factory invoice is availble for your review. Very near the time that Minelab stopped modifying the Excalibur so it could accept other headphones, I had mine modified by Minelab. The unit...

    My Hip Mount Mod for the Dual Field

    I finally had time to change the Dual Field to a hip mount. Don't know why but as it comes, the strap on the back is 90 degrees from what it should be. If you slide a belt through the stock opening, the controls either face forward or backward. I wanted it so I could look down and see the...

    FS Airline Gas Hookah

    I purchased this new in 2000. Cost then $1785 + shipping. The same unit now only with a 4 HP Honda is $2249. In terms of condition, the pictures tell it all. The muffler doesn't even have discoloration from being used. I would guess I have a Max of 20 hours on it. It works wonderfully...

    Provided Some Help to the County Fair...

    I got a call from the 4-H animal person at the local county fair. This morning when the kids were cleaning the stalls one of them lost a set of keys somewhere in the wood chips they were using to 'refresh' the animal pens. The problem was, these keys needed to be used to get into a car to get...

    The Dual Field PI

    I just got one and there is nothing in the manual the explains how to rig it for diving. Am I missing something? Can't see how you can use the supplied parts, rods, etc., and get it short enough to dive. Any of you White's Gurus please help a first owner of a White's machine. Jim
