SDC 2300 Not Detecting White Gold
okara gold replied to Denver Bryan's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
And from what I understand... If the earring is hollow it's even harder to pick up. -
Nice button. I think I'll be knocking on your door asking for permission to hunt your yard! LOL

What's The Largest Item You Have Dug????
okara gold replied to dogodog's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
On land... The side of a cast iron wood stove. In water... A boat anchor. Also, partially dug up an aluminum beach chair. Way too much work to try and remove it. -
It Was Only A Matter Of Time
okara gold replied to The Seeker's topic in First Texas - Bounty Hunter, Fisher & Teknetics
I can’t begin to count how many times I have not been able to get in the water because of the surf. This is the time I crank up the sensitivity and hunt the wet sand real slow. Lots of great results. I can’t imagine what the AQ might produce in that situation with its power. -
That had to be a fun hunt. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Submerged Salt, Nearing 30 Hours

My Infinium had that problem where the coil wire connected to the box. As soon as it touched the salt water or my wet trunks a signal was generated. -

Nice heavy ring Joe! And the AQ has paid for itself. Nice going! -
I have used hockey tape with good results too.

Important Announcement From White's Electronics
okara gold replied to snakejim's topic in White's Metal Detectors
I think you have 2020 vision. No pun intended. I started in the '70's when even mediocre detectors found silver coins all over the place. Gold nugget hunting started for me in the mid '80's. Again lots of virgin sites and not an overabundance of people involved. I saw a kid today on the beach walking with his detector over his shoulder. Not sure why but I wouldn't be surprised if he was bored with it. I find more titanium, chromium and tungsten rings than ever before. Kids get bored easy if there isn't instant gratification. The younger folks will gladly pay $800 for a new phone. Look at what it does! -
Well that explains it pretty well about the noise between the two. I am running the Excalibur at 9-10 in pinpoint and it gets somewhat noisy with chatter mostly on uneven bottom. There is also the long dull noise at the end of some swings but I just deal with it. I am running the stock Minelab earphones but will soon be sporting some Tony E's. You sure are neck deep out there. When I wear a wet suit in the winter it's almost impossible for me to dig those deep targets when that deep. I become too buoyant and need a weight belt. Thanks for the video... Bob

Hey. I think I recognize one of those rings. 😂 Nice pile for sure!

I have a few scoops including an RTG travel scoop. It’s solid aluminum with pretty big holes, but my main complaint is the handle turns my hands black. Anybody else have that problem? Bob

I’ve also had a few dealings with Steve and he is a pleasure to work with. Certainly a man who goes over the top to please his customers. -
First Gold Chain(s) With The Nox
okara gold replied to Compass's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
That’s one long lucrative hunt. It’s great to find a gold ring but there’s something special about a gold chain. Especially a trophy like that big one. Congrats! -
My Best (fake) Gold Chain 18k/24in/1ozt
okara gold replied to mn90403's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Congratulations on the chain. They are difficult to find! -
Hey Joe... Why isn't the AQ desirable in rough water? Lately I've been using the Excalibur in pinpoint mode in all kinds of surf and it isn't noisy or troubled at all. I like how unaffected it is in those conditions. Thanks! Bob
