    DST help.

    Could someone please post directions again on how to turn DST on/off, and also identify which setting (9.0 or 9.1) is DST on and off. Thanks in advance; Greg

    Many thanks to Richard at Backwoods.

    Due to his dedication to the hobby, knowledge of detectors, and outright graciousness, I am now the proud owner of a Deeptech Vista Gold. Thanks again, Richard. It was a pleasure meeting you today.

    RNB Battery on the Excal 1000.

    Hello. Just wanted to report my results with the RNB battery on my Excal. I put about 27.5 hours of actual use on the battery, then when it got too cold to get in the river, I started parking it out in the yard with it on, just letting it run, with volume and threshold audio set on high. I'd...

    RNB test on the Excalibur.

    A few CZ-20/21 questions, and one observation.

    I have two CZ's: an upgraded 21, and a CZ 20 I bought cheap for a backup. First question: Is there any reason to upgrade the 20 so long as it is working OK? It is in really good shape and watertight, pinpoint works great, though I don't use it so as to not wear out the rubber membrane. The...

    Has anyone waterproofed an F75 for shallow water hunting?

    During the hot summer months, I detect shallow (wading) rivers where people float on inner tubes. My water machines discriminate with tone only. My detecting buddy has a Garrett AP Pro that really works well in this environment. I'd try the F75, but I'm afraid I might goof up and get water in...

    Got the RNB battery installed today in the Excal 1000.

    Got it two days after ordering. Easy installation, quick charge, and seems to be working just fine.

    So far so good with the new Excal.

    I've had it about two weeks now, and have used it primarily in a rocky river where Tubing companies rent inner tubes. Wading in the river, moving rocks to get to the river bottom, which is hard work, and bout ten rings found so far--four silver, one platinum wedding band, one 14kt wedding band...

    Excal 1000 repair/upgrade questions.

    I recently acquired a used Excal 1000, which included a single 1000 rechargeable (stock) battery, and the charger. The battery seems to take and hold a charge pretty well, but I am interested in the possibility of upgrading the battery issue. I ordered a alkaline battery pod to use as a backup...

    New to Pulse machines.

    That being said, I understand that typical Pulse machines are very sensitive to gold, but also very sensitive to iron. How well does the ATX pulse machine discriminate, and how well does it reject iron, while maintaining sensitivity to gold, and especially small gold?

    Which would be better--purchasing a new Explorer II, or being patient and waiting for a good deal on a used Excal 1000?

    Taking into consideration the machine is mostly intended for using while diving in fresh water, with the occasional visit to the beach, and issues regarding malfunctions, repairs, etc., consistent with used detectors. Secondly, I've read a few posts where people are having modifications done...

    Question for CZ20-21 users.

    I water hunt with the CZ21 a bit, and search in autotune, then switch to the discriminate mode to check whether or not to dig, basing my decision on tone. I dig only mid and high tones. I have yet to dig a gold ring that gave a mid tone- though I have dug lots of aluminum ringing in with mid...

    NEL Tornado on the F75 w/ 12/14 upgrade.

    Made a brief foray into my backyard w/ the above setup and was initially impressed w/ this setup. Machine ground balanced easily, I was able to crank the sens up into the 90's w/ no interference or EMI, but backed it down to about 85. Detecting in BP, 2F tones, disc. set on 7. Got a solid and...

    9.0/ 9.1

    Just got my F75 back from having the updates done,and perused the owner's manual. I might have missed something, but I could not find anything in the owner's manual regarding what is meant by 9.0 and 9.1, how to switch between the two, and what the advantages/disadvantages might be. The...

    Can anyone recommend a source for gold panning concentrates?

    My dad has shown an interest in buying some concentrates after he watched a prospecting show that advertised concentrates, and I would like to get him some for Christmas. Thanks in advance; Greg

    CZ-20 questions

    I am in the process of purchasing a CZ20 as a backup to my CZ-21, and as I understand it, one of the weak points of the CZ-21 is the rubber protector over the pinpoint button. As a backhanded kind of pressure test, I took the CZ and immerse in about 12 feet of water and left it for several...

    Metal Detectors

    Just wanted to get a general metal detecting opinion here. On of the ways I have been guaging the proficiency of new metal detectors has been to monitor the various forums, and then paying attention to the frequency of "early" coins that are posted on those forums. I know that many early coins...

    Photos from Egypt

    Sorry it took me so long to get these out. I can only post a few at a time, so here goes: Here's a shot of a Mosque I saw as we were taking the bus from the hotel to the Cairo Museum. I wish I had been able to compose the photo better, but it was taken from a bus traveling about 30 miles an...

    Had a great time hanging out with Gen'l Ray this last weekend.

    Thanks for coming up, Ray! I had a great time. Saturday we tried our hand at a little trout fishing, but I dare say we did more educating of the fish than catching them. Ray skunked me 1-0. Here's a shot of the river (Little River) in Townsend, Tennessee: [attachment 212214 Rayc.jpg]...
