    EXCALIBUR LOOP SUPPORT ANYONE???

    Hello everyone! Well, I received my Excalibur yesterday and was troubled by the way the loop flopped around a bit, and the inability to overtighten the thin nylon bolt to prevent it from doing so. I did search after search after search, and found there was no loop support available for this...

    DFX ANOMALY?

    Does anyone else experience the DFX giving off false signals when you bump the coil ever so slightly? I'm hunting the beach, and every time I bump it on the sand or what-not, it gives me false signals....Grrrrrrrrrr!!!

    HOW TO DEAL WITH INTRUSIVE HUNTERS

    Hey there everyone, Ok, so this morning I'm hunting South Beach in Miami, in a strict grid search pattern of about 40' x 40' sections. Lo and behold, the other detectorists were stepping into my search area like if they couldn't care less that I was even just a few feet away on my way to the...

    BEACH HUNTING: GRID OR LINEAR??

    Greetings again everyone! Ok, so here's the question of the day: Is it better (more productive) to go linear "willie nilly" down the beach, or have a strict grid pattern search of about 50' x 50' sections down the beach. The reason I ask is that this morning I saw a whole bunch of...
