    What detector??

    My Excalibur is going back in for repair a second time. I only hunt fresh water. Ground mineralization is not an issue If you were going to replace your Excalibur what other water machine would you choose and why? Jim

    The Pro Handle does not fit the Nuttall

    48" fiberglass Diamond Head scoop. The pro-handle is designed to clamp itself to almost any round handle as it has 2- halves that are screwed into one another in four places and squeezes the 2 half's towards each other to hold it in place, but the screws that do that are not long enough for one...

    Heads Up Because on National Geographic

    Channel there's an hour program about two guys who hunt meteorites. It's called Meteor Men. They have built a couple of LARGE detector coils and search acres of land with it pulling it behind an ATV. It's supposed to reach depths up to 10'. It was really fun to watch. They grid a field and...

    Headphones in Hot Weather

    Maybe somebody has a solution...The problem is I have nice Grey Ghosts and love the way they keep out the external noise and the clean sound. But dang! They are hot. Mine get uncomfortably hot and sometimes I have to stop and take them off and let the air past my head and ears. I tried some...

    CJC's book "Advanced Methods...Excalibur", and

    Tony Diana's "Basic Ear Training for the Excalibur" could've both been authored by just one of them. CJC's was published in 2006 and Tony's CD just came out recently. However, they both explain exactly the same elements comprising a signal received by the Excal. CJC defines the incoming signal...

    Excalibur in the Lake Today...

    Spent about 5 hours with my waders and scoop in the lake today looking for good stuff. Only found a few coins and a cheap piece of costume jewelry. I have it set exactly like Gulf Hunter suggests and have Grey Ghost headphones. Strange things seemed to be happening. I chased some iffy one...

    Dry Suit

    Was just informed that my Bare's dry suit is in the dive shop. Here's a link to the one I'm getting. It's a custom built in red. Ain't no stinking cold air or water stopping me now. Come on Winter. http://barescubadiving.com/usa/drysuits-and-underwear/laminate-drysuits/trilam-hd.asp

    You ever encounter this...

    Went to a local high school football field and was wandering around with the E-Trac and the 12X15 SEF. I came to one area and within in a 30' circle I got literally hundreds of hits. They all hit zincoln and were shallow. I noted the area for future reference and went back last night with the...

    IH on a Metal Arrowhead...

    Found this is a school yard. It came in a lot like a pulltab. Maybe another reason to dig more pulltabs. Anyone know what it is? Jim

    Coils and Depth Gauge on the E-Trac...

    I know with the stock coil the depth gauge is supposed to show the target from the surface to 12" deep and half way down the gauge is about 6". What's the depth approximation if using different size and after market coils like a 6X8 SEF, a Sunray 8", or a 12X15 SEF? Diggin with the 12X15 this...

    Two pinpointers

    I am a gadget freak an admission up front. I have the X-1 and the Garrett Pro-Pointer. I use both and sometimes in the same hole. It helps on iffy signals. If I fold the plug back and use the X-1 and get the same nice tone I dig more. Sometimes after I get down farther the good signal...

    Are there others doing as poorly as me...

    I keep reading about all the people finding silver. Even those who are newer 'newbies' than me (on land.) I hunt and old fairgrounds and 3 older schools in this area. Southwest Washington State. I am finding coins consistently 4-8" deep, but am finding no Wheaties and haven't seen silver for...

    How Good is The New White's Vision?

    I don't own a White's machine but it's interesting reading that forum and following the same kind of rave and rant as when the E-Trac first came out. I am a Minelab person all the way, but it would be interesting to see how competent users of each machine might do side-by-side. Jim

    You Ought to See How

    The White's factory treats its followers...Minelab. For we Minelab users who are less than happy about ML's customer service take a look at the White's forum section. The first post is an interview with some of the White's engineers and the overall tone of the communication is in stark...

    Noise and Hookahs

    I have the Airline 260R hookah. It has a 2.5 HP Honda. I hate the noise. I want more stealth. Talked with the manufacturer and told him I was diving in no more that 3-4' of water with a metal detector and how could I reduce the noise. I even contacted Honda, and their engines are quiet, to...

    I'd Like to Understand the Quick Mask a bit better.

    (I do have Andy's book and it's been read and highlighted) Settings are Auto +2, deep on, fast off, high trash, difficult ground, the rest are standard stock from the factory. I'm using the 8" SunRay coil because of the amount of trash. I am finding targets in the discriminate mode that show...
