    Any Siesta Keys beach hunters here ??

    Just got back from Sarasota Florida yesterday for a few rounds of golf. My buddy took me down to see the beach that I've always wanted to see. Holy Cow ! Theres probably 150 yrds or more from the concessions walkway till you hit the water. So the O'le adage of hunt the towel line to find...

    continuing thought on lack of beach finds......

    this is more of what it used to be like.... 25 yrs ago when the family started going to OBX, I could/would come home with roughly 25-30 bucks in found change and a gold ring...fast forward to today, ( 2023,2024 ) maybe 6-7 bucks in change total and a junk ring or two. So, as was already...

    OOOPS, I did it again.. Nope, didn't meet Britany spears..... Back from OBX

    Well got back yesterday. 9 hrs door to door. Thankfully the hurricane that started in florida and moved up almost to the ohio valley really didn't have much effect on our weather except cloud cover. Conditions were a thousand times better than last yrs trip. Anyway here the run-down... Detected...

    Was there any mention to when shipments of the vortex units will begin arriving into dealers hands ??

    Will authorized garrett dealers get first dibs on them ? Mark ( ohio )

    So, $599 for the top-o-the-line vortex. to me that sounds pretty reasonable....

    really due to lack of interest, but also ALOT of rain and rain and rain here in NE ohio I told myself what the hell and go out for a few hrs to detect. I picked a large playground adjacent to school thats been around probably 70 yrs. I've been to the playground I'm guessing 50 times over the...

    for sale as a package deal.. a vanquish 440 and a fisher f-44 both in vg++ condition....

    Just don't detect much any more and don't want to make the claim that both are excellent or mint cond because my interpretation may be different from someone else, so there-fore the vg++ designation. Anyway, want to sell both as a package so I could ship in one larger container instead of two...

    Back from OBX yesterday............ this was the trip from hell !!!

    Got down there last fri evening right in the middle of tropical storm ( whoever..) torrential rain 40-50 mph wind gusting higher at times. and pitch black. Sat surveyed the beach and not a single cut to be see, but loaded with black sand everywhere. Shells out the wazoo thinking some thing...

    For all the guys and ( gals ) who have been detecting for a while ( like me almost 30 yrs ) what haven't you found yet.....

    that you think you should have... ie. Believe it or not I still haven't dug a seated anything !!! I know all about location, location. yada yada yada.. I've hunted many many areas that dated back to 1860's 1870's etc.. Barbers, 2 cent pieces, large cents, indians and so on have made it into...

    I posted a question on the fisher cz forum about the cz20/21.. Maybe u beach hunters...

    might take a gander over there and give me your thoughts on the subject. HH Mark ( ohio )
  15. M

    who out there is still using a cz-20 that was converted to a 21 ??

    I had mine converted last season but only used it once since then. Do u think the conversion was/is an improvement ( if it is, in what way )... or no noticeable change what-so-ever. Just curious on your thoughts.. Mark ( ohio )

    Finally the first hunt of the yr... after 25+yrs of doing this, I commit the biggest rookie mistake...

    decide to use the "quish 440 " to hunt a local playground. SO the detector sat in the basement over the winter and I of course turned it on to see what the battery strength was. All looked good so off I went. After about 30 minutes it shut off. I thought I must have hit the power button some...

    So who here watched last nights episode of beyond oak island.. looking for Cornwallis treasure ?? My real question is this......

    How the hell do you become a metal detection expert ? The girl/woman last night couldn't have been more than 30/35 yrs of age. Do you just find an attractive girl, hand her a detector and slap the title of expert to your name ? Alot/most of the people on this site have more time in this...

    This Quest detector being talked about a few threads below.....

    What country produces this detector who handles U S sales and where does the repair work take place should it Cr%p the bed ? The high end models "look " promising , priced about what a mid-level detector from known producers are charging. Mark ( ohio)
