    Does anyone use the Manitore or Equinox for wet saltwater beach hunting and comparisons on the two.

    I have to agree, i've went behind a few of the machines with the excalibur in PP and had no problem finding deeper treasure. That would be the Manticore, Nox 800 and 900. Not had the chance to find a D2 hunter around here. But those machine do have the excalibur in trashy areas, hands down.

    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    That would be interesting. I'm in Maryland near Annapolis. Years ago I did hunt with a friend using the ATX, Barry NY, nice machine but I never liked the high-low / low-high signal, even with the Infinium. Just a guess I would say it might be fairly close, I would put the ATX in the same class...

    Metal Detector Rack

    I have a 17 foot boat, I was thinking of making some side mount holder for two detectors and my scoop. Anyone have a similar? Right now I just set them on the right side floor with a towel in between. Not a big deal but I would like it where they would be held in place.

    Health can slow us down for sure, I had a few down years but very Blessed I'm back out. Stay strong and I'm sure you will make it back out. I was paranoid about the CTX having water issues.. Had two guys I started hunting with in 2015, both had CTX's. Mikes started having the "stripped screen"...

    HaHa.. Thanks.. Love my Dinosaurs...Sold my CTX years ago, after a few years & several side by side compares to my modified Excalibur's... also I was concerned the CTX may flood since all of my hunting is submerged, I sold it right before the Nox came out, Luckily. I did have high hopes for the...

    Does anyone use the Manitore or Equinox for wet saltwater beach hunting and comparisons on the two.

    Now days it's really hard to tell what is what when it comes to references on detectors. Seems everyone wants to be a star which makes it hard to tell who is telling the full truth. Me, from what I can tell .... what everyone is posting as far as finds, I would go with the Manticore. Both the...

    Sovereign Elite coil

    Repaired many over the years, have never had to redo any for I used a quality 4 lead cable. And i do advise to keep them well sprayed with 303 AreoSpace spray. I no longer repair them but will advice if needed.

    Sovereign and "nulling"

    You can by-pass the slowness of the processor (some) by running a remote PP button. Hunting in all metal, you single out each target with the wiggle-wiggle and during the "WW" you push the button to check it in Discriminate. Targets do have to be at least 5 inches apart to where each can be...

    Excalibur rebuild needed.

    As far as repairing its going to cost you no matter who fixes them and hopefully it still works as it should. A few years ago I purchased three just like it for 187.oo dollars, by luck all three worked but I ended up parting two of them out. The Excalibur II I fixed and gave to a friend. As you...

    EXCAL 1000

    Several factors, how much did you put into it with the refurbish? Maybe a picture of it would help also, condition outside and what accessories. Like shaft, knob guard, head phones, age of battery, condition of the cables. The way it looks is a big factor when buying anything used .

    Question to refresh my mind about some older coils.

    Post a picture of the coils, been awhile since I seen those. Honestly I would suggest finding either a stock 800 coil or a old Sunray. The 800 coil is 7.5 inches and the Sunray is a full 8 inches. I had a detech 5 inch and I know it was not water proof, it was white and looked like a hocky puck...

    Worst designed water sifter.

    I agree, no doubt they not regular water hunters whom ever designed and built them. The makers did post a video of someone using it in the water which had me wondering how they were getting away with it floating near by being metal. And the size is not all that great I think.. I aways swing my...

    Welcome, I learned so much about the AQ just doing testing, air and buried targets at the beach. Here is another gold ring found, not the best video but on all of these I post, turn the volume up full so you can hear some of the details of the AQ on targets. I'll post several over the next week...

    Big Congratulations on the New AQ! I have several video's I'll have to post, of finding gold with the AQ, and there is a FB page I'll send you the link for AQ owners. I know Clive is killing the gold with his AQ right now. Only 2 issues I do not like about the AQ, one is the battery life and...

    Depth modification of detector circuit boards.

    Came across this pic while looking thru my files, worked like Doc's treasure screamer.
