  1. Very nice pictures and some good-looking finds! That Columbia is definitely interesting.
  2. There's a couple of beauties! Nice going on those coins.
  3. I used to wait until the snowbanks were melting in the parking lots and just walk around using my visual eyeball detector. Found a beat up silver ring once, some currency and car keys. Ya never know
  4. I'd be happy with that ring any day of the week. I can count on one hand the number of times I have found any ring marked from Mexico.
  5. CoinShooter... The M8 is incredible at finding very small pieces of non-ferrous metals. It should be great at sniffing out tiny bits of gold. I have met quite a few guys from Alaska who came to Arizona in the winter, looking for gold.
  6. Did a wet sand hunt today and the M8 finally sniffed out some gold. It's marked inside the band... Black Hills Gold 10K and weighs 1.3 grams. It was roughly 10 inches deep and gave a nice clear tone with an ID of around 19. No denying it was a good target to dig. The heart is marked sterling, and the little O ring is .925.
  7. Mine has been below water more than above water for over 1 year now and no leaks or problems.
  8. Thanks for a good in-depth report Chase. I recently acquired the M8 coil and have used it exclusively on the beach. Looking forward to hunting inland in the Northern states once Spring comes. Just by reading your experiences with it, it has given me better expectations of its performance. Time will tell!
  9. I have one of Steves' lower rods for the M8. It fit and works just fine!
  10. I've been using the M8 at the beach and one thing I have noticed is the abundance of open earrings it is finding. They are supposed to be difficult to find when open but the M8 doesn't seem to have a problem with them. I am definitely finding more than I did with the M11. No gold yet but the coil is alerting me quite well when a non-ferrous target is under it. This picture shows some of the junk jewelry I have found. There are more but I usually throw it in a bucket and didn't think of taking any pics. I am running a sensitivity of 27 to 28 on the wet salt sand, prospecting audio and a speed of 4.
  11. My motto has always been... To go where no man has gone before. It can pay big dividends.
  12. Now that's a nice-looking ring! Congrats on all the great finds.
