    Competition Beach Hunt

    I am going on a competition beach hunt soon. This will be my second beach hunt. From my experience you need a sand scoop, and something to dump the scoop in. Then check the hole, if you have no signal keep hunting. I have a scoop but need to make one of the rat wire basket things. Does anyone...

    Question about smaller than stock coil

    Looking for any input about the Sunray 8 inch coil, the Joey, or Platypus coil , or the Minelab 8 inch coil. I need something that will let me hunt some trashy areas. I have heard that the Platypus is better in trash and deeper than the stock coil. Thanks for any help.

    Explorer strikes fear in the batteries of detectors at the weekend hunt!!

Between the 2 of us this is what we found. I will post pics this evening. Taking Dad to VA Dr today. 1 year...

    RAT phones

    I am sorry if I have offended anyone by mentioning that I like the RAT phones and that I now sell them. I do believe this could have been taken care of in a more professional manner. I do not like that Mr Bill whoever he is has cursed at me. I think he lacks manners in dealing with people.

    Need Help With Beach Hunting

    I just finished restoring the park rangers clock at the local state park. I must have pleased him because he agreed to let me hunt the beach area at the swimming lake. The problem is I have never hunted in sand or at a beach at all with the Exp 2. I have never found any gold rings either. Do I...

    First day out with Explorer 2

    Well it took me about a half hour not to hit a tree with it. Then I finally kind of figured out what it was telling me. I was learning the sounds and what they mean.
