The design for a pipe doesn't make sense. It would never work so therefore I'm saying it's not a pipe. It would work as a straw, in a rather primitive way, for drinking tea or coffee that wasn't filtered. Sounds crazy doesn't it. It looks old, very old.

I just looked it up. It's all right here: http://www.mymateworld.com/yerbamatebombilla.htm

It's a straw for tea!

What kind of machine do you have? I've found several watches and on my Excalibur they are usually somewhat broken up sounding or a hodge-podge of signals, being that there are several different kinds of metal happening there. And the bodies usually being stainless steel, that's more like iron, so there is some tendency for the Excal and other Minelabs to "null" on the iron part of the signal which is what causes the broken sound or erratic signal. Now on my Fisher CZ-70 it would be a different story. Watches usualy will bouce around between iron, penny, and hi-coin range. Bottom line is that if you are discriminating out any trash at the beach or only digging "textbook" signals, you'll get no watches. Any dicrimination at the beach is death for gold as well, since it all comes in the same range as aluminum trash. And a lot of gold chains can have some "all over the place" signals or broken/weak signals as well.

This nice Relic watch was a foot deep in the wet sand at low tide and sounded TERRIBLE, but there was enough "good" in the signal that I wanted to see what it was. I was thinking maybe a cell phone or some glasses or something. I've been wearing it for about 3 years now.

Yes will thank you.

Do a ebay search on "Yerba Mate Bombilla" and there is your straw. Too cool Bulgarian!

Hey Mike,

I use the Excal. I dig pretty much everything unless I get a clear Null signal. Are you saying to dig Iron signals as well?

Every time that I've dug iron signals in the past, it was always Iron.
Nails..screws..bolts..hair pins..bla bla bla.

Thanks
Mark

No, I don't do that. If it's a SOLID NULL, I pass it up. If it's a bottlecap, I pass it up. If it's a penny, I will OFTEN pass it up, though I HAVE seen a few fatty gold rings come in sounding like a penny so I usually dig them. The watches are never fully iron-null type signals. With the "works" of the watch inside (and the diiferent metals in there) and the band, links, etc. what you get is a signal that's all over the place, tone-wise. And any signal like that should be checked out, since a lot of watches and chains register that way.

I don't have a recording of that watch but maybe you've seen this other post I made a while back with other Excal sounds? I recorded them from actual targets on my Excal. Take the penny and the bottlecap and merge them together and you get the watch. Or close to it.
