    Need some help here...

    I just received my Surfmaster PI Dual Field. I looked at White's website and they say the unit is waterproof to 100'. I'm not even going to come close to that. What's scary is there is absolutely nothing in the manual about setting it up for diving. There's no way I can see any combination of...

    Bill...

    Living on the West Coast, I don't have to fear Bill and its potential dammage. There's been lots of news about it, even on the local news, with the warnings of huge waves and riptides. You all be careful where this is happening. Don't want to be reading about a lost water detectorist who got...

    :ranting:Gosh Darn cjc cost me $800...

    His book was only about $20 but after reading it I ordered a White's Dual Field from Kellyco. I guess I can't really blame him. I'll probably want to kiss him after I start picking up the loot that the VLFers have left behind. VLF the site first and then go back and hit it with the PI and...

    What am I seeing in the videos...

    I work freshwater lakes inland and detect on the land. When I watch the videos of you lucky people who are in the warm beautiful blue water I am envious. But, why is it I see you all wandering all over the place making big Zs in your search patterns and obviously missing a lot of potential...

    My First Trip With the Sand Shark....

    I left the Excalibur in the car and tried my new/used Tigershark. It worked great. None of the coins are anything more than typical clad. Then I found the small ring with the stone in it. It's 10K. Then the chain It said Italy T140. Looked that up and it's 10K, I think, and the same chain...

    E-trac Coil Connector...

    How many conductors are their inside the coil wire on an E-Trac that are being used? I am doing the brain work on maybe an underwater housing for the E-Trac and am exploring the various waterproof fittings. Need to know if I need a 4 or 5 conductor or whatever. Also...Since nobody makes a...

    Excalibur is back...

    It was erratic and needed to go in. Second time in a year. It was shipped on 6/24 UPS, and it arrived 7/22 UPS. Something was wrong with the wires from the battery pod. $125.00 plus shipping to get it there. It sat for a considerable amount of time before a tech could get to it but a month...

    Anybody know where to get this part?

    I also posted this on the mods forum but am hoping that somebody in the dive community knows about these. I got this part a whole bunch of years ago for use in an underwater camera housing. I now want to use it, and about 5 more, in and undewater housing I am making for my E-Trac. I have no...

    What is this modification part I need...

    I got this part a whole bunch of years ago for use in an underwater camera housing. I now want to use it, and about 5 more, in and undewater housing I am making for my E-Trac. I have no idea what it's called so I can't even go hunting for it online. Could somebody please assist with what it's...

    First Tesoro

    I've heard nothing but good things about them for years. Now that I'm moderately disgusted with the reliability of my Excalibur, I scored a used Tiger Shark in the classifieds. Now I shall see how well it works compared to my Garrett and my Fisher. All water machines. Others have explained...

    Dry Ground and Hunting.. A hidden bonus for some

    No way I am going to dig a plug with the ground this dry. I want to be welcome come rain in the Fall. But...I still hunt but only use a 8" probe and an Oyster knife to retrieve targets. It has been a blast. Here's the payoff for me so far. Since I know I can't go after the deep stuff I slow...

    Best Knee Pads...

    [attachment 132176 20070613033419_Photo2.jpg] Read where some were having issues with their knees while hunting and digging. Here's a set of knee pads that I highly recommend. I have used a set just like these for 3 years and they work like new. The elastic is commercial grade as are the...

    Need info on the Tiger Shark

    May get one and went to the Tesoro website and read the manual. Those of you who use one, do I have it correct that the threshold, volume, and sensitivity are controlled by pots inside the detector that requires the case to be opened to be changed?? How useful is that? With other detecors I...

    Excalibur Repair

    I just sent the Excal in for the second time in a year for the same problem. It's erratic when you shake the coil No Sand in the cover. I can hold all the cables still and shake the coil and it goes crazy. I worked pretty hard to isolate where it was coming from. Called Minelab today and they...
