Need help - 11 years ago

I think it was back in 2012....maybe 2011 I believe tom did a test using etrac and Sunray X 5 coil.........it was a long post with great results......using mono and maybe two tones....... How is the best what to search for that post...?....maybe what key words...? Thanks

this could be the best scoop accessory EVER - Carbon Fiber Handle. - 11 years ago

chuck at stealth / sunspot has built just a few of these testing and my buddy denny has a new model 720i and he got 1 to test. it will be a bit pricey, but what a great handle it seems to be. testing is ongoing as i type - stand by for more. would work in almost all model scoops around the market today that use replaceable handles. . vid is like:4 Mins. - 2 pics at the end. . . . .

i had mine for 29 days - 12 years ago

then i returned it to the dealer. why - why did they use such a small dia. oring? do oring dia. increase or decrease closure as far as dia. go - meaning will small dia. seal better than a larger dia. - i was amazed how small it was. i removed it daily and cleaned it since i hunted almost in the waves daily and it did get some fine sand around it. just asking?

one guy who hunts wilminton, nc has a wot on his. he says it works fine, JUST HEAVY. god i hate heavy - ctx.... yea, i know the other coils are just resistant - i tried the 3kHz today - for a short spin - i saw little difference. raining like cats and dogs here now. see ya - good luck

two weeks ago a local fella lost one of his 6 rings on wed chest deep zone - 12 years ago

i knew where and within a tight cirlcle - after about 40 mins. of searching the rip current was bad and the life guards closed that section of the beach - this is a 1 oz. 14k gold ring with a mex. 5 peso coin on top. the next day a get my buddy tim and we hunt for it and after about 15 mins. my buddy finds it........as far as we know, it did not move any - just settled in the sand. - 28 grams.

Keith - 12 years ago

if you remember, several months back you and i spoke (email) regarding this little heater. well last month, when the ctx3030 did not work out all that well for me in the sea, i traded it back to the dealer for a new excal. and i got a new 705. only tired it once about 3 weeks ago and only stock coil until this wed. and then i got a new 3 kHz coil for it. sounds like i need to invest in one of

sonny - here is take on it - 12 years ago

I like I can hunt and not feel tired from swinging. - I AGREE 100% I like that I don't dig much trash. (humm let me rethink about that one) - I RE-THOUGHT IT - DIGS TONS OF COPPER, BRASS AND ALUM. PIECES SO FAR I don't like the headphone (Koss) - PURE CRAP I don't like the PP buttons location. - I SELDON USE IT IN THE WATER I don't like I can't use any other hea

2 + 4 + 5hrs. In the water. I have no knowledge of signals and I have not yet pushed all the button, but it does seem to be worlds faster than..SePro & expII....processing. It also runs much smoother in the water with auto. Sensitivity Very hard to see the screen in bright sun with Polaroid sunglasses also.....I am going to look into nu view...? Thanks for the info

Gray matter - aka lead sinkers - 12 years ago

I dig so many..omg Small solid lead ones sound different than large. Sm ones with thin brass eyes sound different...lg ones with larger brass eyes. Different.....lead headed casting baits with steel hooks......crazy. U can learn a lot from sinkers. Dew.......u talk of tiny bras..copper...alum and the SePro hits on them hard....for sure and gold ring size targets even better. I use

i have a impedance/ohms question - 12 years ago

for years i have seen differences, but i have never understood what they were. could someone clear this up for me......headphones i have 3 sets that i used, my two favorites state this: 1st. set states: sensitivity: 72dB @ 1kHz........impedance - 150 ohms nominal. my favorite set 2nd set states: impedance 16 ohms nominal. 3rd set is same as 1st. let me say the phones i hate

i hunt for gold rings just like all beach hunters - or gold in any form. i use a waterproofed Minelab SePro and if i go chest deep zone, i switch to Excalibur. with these multi-freq. machines i find many many tiny items - studs, earring backs, small brass fishing swivels - etc and find a great depth - clad and at times deep bottle caps.- 18 cells phones for 2011 - 90 pairs of sunglasses - on an

fred, you said: TDI would allow partical discrimination i claim to know nothing about PI's and especially TDI's. i have only owned one in 18 years and it was if i remember 2004 - Eric Foster Goldquest SS - waterproof model - in one word: D E E P.

seeker - 12 years ago

this part of toms post is the best i have ever read - you need to consider what he is telling you, especially the last part. (partial quote) there needs to come a 'efficiency' balance. You hardly EVER recover iron with a CZ/Excal........... maybe 2 iron items per hunt. With a PI........... you may recover 200 iron items ............... and 15% more of deeper/smaller non-ferrous i

Re: is a pi machine worth the trouble? - 12 years ago

Seeker It all comes down to time. Time is valuable and time is one thing u never get back. Your 1st question. . Now like Dan said....some beaches u have to use a PI........so u would have to find out...what do most of the hunters use where u are..? . Here in my zone...lots of small iron tickets....17 water hunters......2 use PI,s.....2 or 3 use cz,s.....excals for the rest Good luck
