Skin it...Skin That Smoke Wagon! strick

Yea the covers are thin and cheap sometimes they warp and are hard to get a tight fit...so seems like gotta have extra coil covers when hunting in dirt...sand seems a bit different much easier on coils from my experience...but what do I know I don't get to hunt every day like some of the retired folks can...maybe you can wear through a epoxy made coil without a cover in one years time beach hunting? I'd like to know from someone that gets to hunt 4-5 days a week year around... strick

Yep.. I'm at the point where I just leave the coil cover off whenever I hunt a sandy beach....how long do you think it would take to wear through the epoxy filled coil and ruin it? depends on how much you hunt right...for me it would be a very long time...by then I would have got my moneys worth and happily buy another coil to replace it. curious has anyone ever worn through their coil and ruined it? anyone have any pictures of what a ruined beach hunters coil looks like? strick

I find it no harder to swing in sand than the Nox or deus 2....M-Core coils are light...are you saying that the cross supports catch the sand? interesting statement...I guess I'll have to pay a little more attention to that next time I'm out... strick

"learn through digging" and its basically what I do with any new detector...skim over the manual then go out and dig dig dig. Just use the darn thing...There are some very knowledgable users on this site and since the talk is mostly about metal detectors I will pay attention to what they are saying about different settings coils programs etc...and then try that myself and see how things work out where I hunt.. strick

Great story and a wonderful idea...I remember one old chopper pilot from the Vietnam conflict that loved detecting...it's a great hobby for anyone that wants to clear their head and forget anything for a bit.... including the time of day. strick -
Fun read so far...the Russian video speculation was my favorite lol... seems right on track...I'll say one thing..It's gonna have to be one hell of a detector for me to jump on board...curiously watching strick

60 Years Ago Today - The Great Alaska Earthquake
strick replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
It's hard to imagine an earth quake of that magnitude lasting 4 minutes and 30 seconds..what a ride that must have been. In 1989 was an undergrad studying in a library (the quietest of all places) when the Loma Prieta earth quake occurred...and like you mentioned you could hear the rumbling coming before you could actually feel the quake..that one was only 6.9 and it only lasted less then 30 seconds so a 9.2 of over 4 minutes...crazy stuff... strick -
This apparatus goes under several names detecting pal..detecting pro. Serious detecting has them as well as Amazon...I use one when beach detecting with various machines....allows you to let go of the detector when retrieving the target as well as relieving the pressure on your arm and shoulder. I have fused vertebrae in my neck and it does not aggravate it what so ever...Have not used it however with the 7000. use the minelab harness for that or go buck naked.. strick
